Page 120 <br /> 6.4.4 EXHIBIT D — Extraction Plan <br /> above the anticipated static groundwater elevation will be soiled, seeded and <br /> stabilized as provided for under Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan. <br /> Of the total 234.06± acres of potential extraction, the resulting basins will <br /> function as multiple-use reservoirs with a slightly fluctuating combined water <br /> surface area covering 218.44±. The remaining balance of 37.9± acres of land <br /> above the anticipated high-water mark of the reservoirs, and not otherwise <br /> committed to existing or planned structures or infrastructure over the parcel, <br /> will be stabilized with vegetation; including the anticipated 16.50± acres of <br /> basin slopes reflected in the total, and 32.3 acres requiring resoiling. <br /> NOTE: Shoreline irregularities and fill to establish and enhance the aesthetic <br /> and end-use functions of the resulting basins shown on Exhibit F: Reclamation <br /> Plan Map, are illustrative only, as this effect as to location and extent will be <br /> field-fit where practical, and may substantively different from that portrayed <br /> under the application. The actual location and extent will be identified in <br /> subsequent OMLR Annual Reports, and absent there, at the time of any <br /> applicable release of a location in part or whole from the permit. Since <br /> representations cannot be accurately portrayed in advance, Exhibit F simply <br /> identifies the near maximum extent [typical] of the resulting basins or ponds <br /> and the potential for shallows during lining and finished grading. <br /> The estimated timetable for extraction, commencing approximately spring to <br /> winter 2023; is estimated to take 25-30± years combined, or longer, followed by <br /> an additional five years to complete reclamation; or a total estimated life of the <br /> mine of 30-35± years; ending approximately winter 2053 to 2058. This is a life <br /> of the mine operation and all timetables are estimates and may prove shorter <br /> or longer than stated. The final determination will occur five years after the <br /> deposit is exhausted and all marketable product has been removed and <br /> necessary infill completed at the location to the point of final reclamation as <br /> approved or modified under the terms of the permit is completed. <br /> This submittal is unable to fully forecast the maximum extent of affected <br /> land expected at any given point in time, beyond an annual basis. As <br /> operational extraction and reclamation efforts will vary annually, the timing <br /> of extraction, reclamation, and life of operation as forecasts must be based <br /> on an initial estimate [refer to Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs], then <br /> subsequently verified and adjusted as reasonably determined at the time of <br /> the required OMLR Annual Report. If justified by field conditions, a rider to <br /> the warranty would follow in due course to reflect current or forecast <br /> conditions where such conditions cannot be reasonably attenuated in a <br /> timely manner prior to the due date of the next year's Annual Report.
