RMS Utilities, Inc. <br /> 28360 County Road 18, Blanca, CO <br /> (719) 589-4263 <br /> Exhibit D <br /> Revised March 24,2021 <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> 1. Upon completion of mining the amended area will be a rectangle shape in nature with <br /> side slopes not greater than 3H:1V slope. Once grading is complete, topsoil will be <br /> distributed within two years, once inventory has been removed, a layer of topsoil four <br /> inches will be applied to pit floor. Once topsoil is applied, it will be reseeded in <br /> accordance with recommendation of the Natural Resource Conservation Service. <br /> 2. (a.) All phases will be reclaimed as rangeland. The current use of surrounding lands is <br /> either rangeland or gravel pits. The choice of rangeland follows the use of the land in the <br /> surrounding area. Side slopes will be formed using earthmoving equipment such as <br /> scrapers, motor graders, and dozers. <br /> (b.) Surrounding land uses are either rangeland or gravel pits. Reclamation of affected <br /> area to rangeland is cohesive to surround areas. <br /> (c.) Upon notification to the division Reclamation, Mining and Safety the reclamation <br /> process will be completed within a five-year period. The mined area will be reseeded <br /> with a seed mixture recommended by the Natural Resource Conservation Services. The <br /> slopes will be graded for 3H:1 V slope to create the slope. A 3H:1 V slope in the pit will <br /> help combat erosion and silting of the affected land. This will eliminate the need to <br /> stabilize any high walls. Once the grading is complete the land will be prepared to be <br /> reclaimed <br /> (d.) The topsoil shall be segregated at the pit in designated areas for the purpose of <br /> reclamation. Side slopes will be formed during soil extraction. The reclamation process <br /> will begin when a sizeable are of two to three acres is ready to be reclaimed. <br /> 1 <br />
