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:1 V 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 />
