Based on the planned reclamation activities and the current conditions, the worst-case reclamation <br /> scenario will consist of the following items. These items were calculated based on the current <br /> topography of the site by measuring the length, slope, and height of the unreclaimed slopes, and <br /> the maximum disturbance limit of 25 acres outside of mining. <br /> 1. Reclamation of the ponds <br /> a. Pit dewatering <br /> i. Pond 1: previously reclaimed, no dewatering required <br /> ii. Pond 2: 4.6-acre lake at 6 ft. deep: 47.6 ac-ft. <br /> iii. Pond 3: 5.6-acre lake at 10 ft. deep: 56.0 ac-ft. <br /> iv. Pond 4: 15.8-acre lake at 8 ft. deep: 126.4 ac-ft. <br /> v. Pit 5: no dewatering required <br /> vi. Total: 230 ac-ft. dewatering volume <br /> b. Backfilling and grading to the final reclaimed slope conditions, from mining slopes to <br /> 3HAV reclamation slopes*: <br /> i. Pond 1: previously reclaimed, no backfill or grading needed <br /> ii. Pond 2: Approx. 355 ft. length of highwall at 14 ft. tall: 2,425 CY backfill <br /> iii. Pond 3: Approx. 485 ft. length of highwall at 12 ft. tall: 1,295 CY backfill <br /> iv. Pond 4: Approx. 3,830 ft. length of highwall at 24 ft. tall: 39,900 CY pushed <br /> with dozer <br /> v. Pond 5: convert to industrial, no backfilling or grading required <br /> *Note: Backfill quantities were calculated using the current topography and the target reclamation slopes. <br /> c. Topsoiling and discing pond slopes: <br /> i. Pond 1: previously reclaimed, no topsoil required <br /> ii. Pond 2: Approx. 1.7 acres at 6 in. thickness: 1,390 CY <br /> iii. Pond 3: Approx. 1.6 acres at 6 in. thickness: 1,295 CY <br /> iv. Pond 4: Approx. 7.0 acres at 6 in. thickness: 5,620 CY <br /> v. Pit 5: convert to industrial, no topsoil required <br /> vi. Total: 8,305 CY of topsoil required (stockpiled on site) <br /> d. Seeding and mulching of pond slopes (same areas as above) <br /> 2. Reclamation of the disturbances outside of the pits <br /> a. Topsoiling and grading of maximum 25 acres of disturbance at 6 in. thickness: <br /> 20,170 CY <br /> b. Seeding and mulching of maximum 25 acres <br /> 3. Weed management for two years after reclamation <br /> 23 Road Pit Technical <br /> Revision 5 ®Lewicki 8f Associates <br /> April 2022 <br />
