reclamation. All reclaimed areas will be sloped,topsoil replaced and seeded with the <br /> approved seed mix. <br /> 2. Topsoil Replacement <br /> Topsoil on site is anticipated to range from 0-3 inches thick. During mining,all topsoil will be <br /> stored in the site perimeter berm of the site and are shown on the Reclamation Map. <br /> 3. Haul Roads and Access <br /> One entrance road will connect the site to State Highway 96. Onsite haul roads will be flexible as <br /> mining moves throughout the site.No interior haul roads will remain following reclamation. The <br /> entrance road/access road will remain following reclamation per the landowner's request. <br /> 4. Reclamation Timetable <br /> Reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. Topsoiling and seeding will occur in the Fall of <br /> 2023. <br /> 5. Revegetation Plan <br /> Due to the mild grade, seed can be drilled. Heavy furrows will be left in the tilled topsoil to <br /> provide moisture concentration and shade areas to promote better conditions for successful <br /> vegetation establishment. Seeding will take place during the fall following retopsoiling of slopes. <br /> Slopes will be regraded,and retopsoiled as soon as they are able to be reclaimed and as <br /> additional mining areas become active. An NRCS approved seed mix will be used. It is <br /> anticipated that the following mix would be adequate for reclamation purposes. <br /> 1 Native Grass Seed Mix <br /> Species Pounds of pure live,seed per acre(drilled) <br /> Blue grama 1.8 <br /> Western wheatgrass 9.6 <br /> Sideoats grama 1.8 <br /> Needle and thread 2.2 <br /> Indian ricegrass 1.2 <br /> Little bluestem 0.7 <br /> Galleta grass 0.4 <br />
