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 /> re-contoured.The expected slope will follow the upstream gradient as well as the <br /> existing side slopes. Growth media will be distributed over the surface in a 6-12 inch <br /> lift and in the fall, it will be broadcast seeded. Where needed, any surplus growth <br /> media may be harvested from the edge of the last panel (#5)to augment the success <br /> of revegetation. Seasonally the pond will be cleaned with the material placed <br /> between the gravel and the topsoil/growth media.The last panel will be contoured <br /> into the end of the pasture such that the boundary of the disturbed areas will not be <br /> noticeable. <br /> The pond will be backfilled or will be included in an amendment for further <br /> operations. <br /> The percolation zone will be scarified with a harrow if significant amounts of silt have <br /> accumulated and will be seeded. The silt fence will be removed if it is established and <br /> that disturbance will be seeded. <br /> The road has been and will be the main access to the operations and the land. The <br /> reclamation of it will be to prevent erosion, stabilize the vegetation but allow <br /> continued access to the property. Any open soil will be scarified and seeded. <br /> Revegetation Plan <br /> Seeding will be done in the fall by broadcast.The seed mixture will consist of: <br /> 20%Streambank Wheatgrass <br /> 20%Annual Ryegrass <br /> 15% Mountain Brome <br /> 15%Siberian Wheatgrass <br /> 10% Green Needle Grass <br /> The amount will be at 20 pounds/acre as was recommended by the Soil <br /> Conservation Service. <br /> Seedbed Preparation <br /> The site will be harrowed prior to an after seeding. This procedure should form a <br /> smooth, firm seedbed that will facilitate seeding. If after 1-2 growing seasons, it <br /> becomes obvious that the planting was unsuccessful, the site will be reseeded. <br />
