EXHIBIT E <br /> (D) Re-vegetation Plan <br /> Completed mining blocks will be seeded in October or April each year.These months are chosen due to the lower <br /> nighttime temperatures and moderate daytime temperatures,which provide optimal conditions for seeding at the site. <br /> An imprint seeder will be used for texturing and seeding.No soil augmentation will be applied unless it is deemed <br /> necessary. <br /> The approved and tested native seed and shrub mix from Permit No.M-2016-081 will be applied at a rate of 2 pounds Pure <br /> Live Seeds(PLS)per acre.This mix includes Indian Ricegrass,Bluebunch Wheatgrass,Thickspike Wheatgrass,Slender <br /> Wheatgrass,Basin Wildrye,Needle&Thread,and Rubber Rabbitbrush. <br /> Re-vegetation monitoring will be conducted for five years following the completion of the project. Should any areas be <br /> insufficiently vegetated,appropriate measures will be taken.These may include fertilizing and additional re-vegetation <br /> augmentation as needed. <br /> TABLE E.(C).1 RE-VEGETATION PLAN <br /> Step Activity Expected time frame Details Equipment used <br /> 1 Prepping mined block Under a week • Contouring with a dozer using lidar mapping for original profile. • Dozer <br /> • Ripping compacted areas to loosen topsoil <br /> 2 Reapplication of topsoil Under a week • Redistributing stockpiled topsoil using a dozer and scraper • Dozer <br /> from stockpile • Scraper <br /> 3 Imprinting and seeding 8 Hours per 5-acre block • Use of a seeder and imprinter for texturing and seeding • Tractor <br /> • Seeding and imprinting to occur in October or April • Seeder, <br /> • Approved and tested seed mix • Imprint roller <br /> 4 Re-vegetation monitoring 5 Years • Monitoring of re-vegetation • Camera <br /> • Monitoring of all reclamation efforts • UAV <br /> • Documentation of reclamation(photo,uav mapping) • Computer database <br /> (E) A Plan Or Schedule Indicating How and When Reclamation Will Be Implemented <br /> Table 6.4.4.-C Table E.(C).1 Re-vegetation Plan shows the plan on how reclamation will proceed.Reclamation <br /> will be an ongoing,continuous program during the entire lifespan of the mine. <br /> (I)An Estimate Of The Periods Of Time Which Will Be Required For The <br /> Various Stages Or Phases Of Reclamation. <br /> Table E.(C).1,Reclamation Plan shows estimated periods of time that reclamation will proceed <br /> Reclamation will be an ongoing,continuous program during the entire lifespan of the mine. <br /> (II)A Description Of The Size And Location Of Each Area to Be <br /> Reclaimed During Each Phase; <br /> 36 <br /> HARDROCK/METAL MINING REGULAR(112)APPLICATION AuPt Industries LLC I PO Box 1424-Edwards,Colorado 81632 1 970 306 1784 <br />
