12 | P a g e Area 16B: This area is similar to Area 10A where the existing water pipe is located. This area has naturally revegetated and blends well with surrounding area. There are delineators through this area that will be removed and the waterline shall be capped and abandoned. See Exhibit F, the waterline location is approximate, but the area to be capped is represented on the plan. The process to cap the waterline is as follows: expose the end of pipe, pour a 2’x2’x2’ concrete cap on the end of the pipe with a 1’ overlap of the end of pipe and backfill. This will result in approximately 8 CY of dirt to be removed and placement of .3 CY of concrete. Operator shall confirm location of pipe and where the final placement of cap will be located. Once capping is completed, hand broadcast seeding efforts shall be completed on approximately 0.1 acres of disturbance created while capping the line. The post-mine land use for this area will be Rangeland. This use was chosen due to the consistency with adjacent land use and location not nearing current oil and gas operations. Area 17A: This area was originally completed stripped of topsoil and relocated to stockpile locations. Although the topsoil was stripped, some vegetation has naturally reestablished, including sage brush, aspen trees, some grasses, and fur trees. This established vegetation provides cover for future plant growth. Given the topography of this area, it is not feasible to import and stabilize topsoil without washouts and channeling, therefore, this area should remain as-is and allow for more of the younger growth to finish growing. Even though the topsoil was removed, the contouring blends well with the existing topography and does not look out of place. However, historically, this specific location has been utilized for stockpiling material for road maintenance. Since material is being imported/exported, it is estimated that approximately 50 CY of material needs to be removed. Once stockpiles are removed, the existing grade shall remain as-is since it provides adequate drainage and blends well with the surrounding topography. This specific area of the site is relatively flat resulting in being able to utilize a dozer and ripper to de-compact existing soil and drill seed following the general seeding requirements below. A total of approximately 1.97 acres shall be reseeded following the General Seeding Requirements. The post-mine land use for this area will be Rangeland. This use was chosen due to the consistency with adjacent land use and location not nearing current oil and gas operations. Area 17B: This area appears to be a location that was prepped for a future pipeline to be installed. To RCC’s knowledge and after a site visit, there are no signs of an installed pipe , just apparent preparation for a pipe. This area is well vegetated, and no grading will be required as it blends well with surrounding contours.
