Exhibit D <br /> Reclamation plan for the Pot o Gold Ranch Place Mine <br /> Limited Disturbance Permit (110(2}) <br /> April 7, 2022 <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> At the end of every two panels,the currently disturbed surface will be leveled and <br /> recontoured. Growth media will be distributed over the surface in a 6-12 inch lift and <br /> in the fall, it will be seeded. Where needed, any surplus growth media may be <br /> harvested from the edge of the last panel to augment the success of revegetation. <br /> The last panel will be contoured into the end of the pasture such that the boundary <br /> will be difficult to teli. <br /> Reve�etation Plan <br /> Seeding will be done in the period of October to April, if broadcast, and during lune <br /> or 1uly, if drilled. The seed mixture will consist of one leguminous forb (Lutana cicer <br /> milkvetch) and eight perennial grass species. Cicer milkvetch was selected as the <br /> leguminous forb species because it is a nitrogen fixer and is adapted to the soils and <br /> climate of the region. <br /> Eight perennial grass species adapted to the climate and soils of the area were <br /> selected for seeding. These species possess excellent wildlife and domestic livestock <br /> forage values. The attributes of these species will facilitate the return of the affected <br /> lands to productive rangelands. The seed mixture will include five of the eight <br /> perennial grass species based on availability and current costs. Each of the five <br /> species selected will comprise the relative percentage of the total mixture as set out <br /> in the table below. The seed mixture will be braadcast seeded at 60 PLS per square <br /> foot or drill seeded at a total rate of 30 pure live seeds(PLS) per square foot.The <br /> species and rate Ibs (PLS) per acre seeding are: <br /> drilled broadcast <br /> Species Ibs (PLS)/acre Ibs (PLS)/acre <br /> Arriba or Rosanna western <br /> Wheatgrass 2.0 4 <br /> Crittana thickspike wheatgrass 1.5 3 <br /> Durar hard fescue .5 1 <br /> Luna pubescent wheatgrass 3.0 6 <br /> Lutana cicer milkvetch .5 1 <br /> Paloma Indian ricegrass 1.5 3 <br /> Revenue slender wheatgrass .5 1 <br /> Sodar streambank wheatgrass 1.5 3 <br /> Vinall Russian wild rye 1_5 3 <br /> 12.5 25 <br />
