EXHIBIT D RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1 . General Reclamation Plan The maximum disturbed area to be reclaimed under this <br /> permit is 2.5 acres out of the 4.8-acre permit area. Reclamation plans can beviewed on <br /> Map E-3. Post-mining land use will return the entire disturbed site back to dry rangeland <br /> with native grasses on all slopes and is consistent with existing land use in the area.Areas <br /> designated as gravel storage areas by the landownerwill remain as such and will not be <br /> reclaimed. All slopes will be reclaimed to 3H:1 V or shallower. As described in the mining <br /> plan, reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. <br /> 2. Topsoil and Overburden Replacement Overburden throughout the site is variablythick <br /> and recovered overburden from each new mining area will be used to backfill, as needed, <br /> the previous mining area. Topsoil on site is anticipated to range from 0-4 inches thick. <br /> During mining, all excess topsoil and overburden will be stored in stockpiles in the <br /> northwest extent of the site as shown on Map E-2.Topsoil will be replaced over each mined <br /> area after the next mining area is stripped of its topsoil and overburden. Topsoil thickness <br /> upon replacement is expected to be 2 inches thick,the pre-mine average depth for the site. <br /> 3. Haul Roads and Access One access road will connect the site to State Highway 141 . <br /> County R 13 Road will be used to access the water pump. Onsite haul roads will be flexible <br /> as mining moves throughout the site. See the enclosed affidavit,following Exhibit C, signed <br /> bythe landowner ensuring onsite mining roads will remain on the site after mining. See <br /> Map E-3 for the layout of roads after mining and reclamation. <br /> 1 <br />
