13 | P a g e 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 18A: This area was created for a switchyard which holds electrical lines/equipment. There are 12 poles at 60’ tall and 2 poles at 30’ to be removed. All poles will be exposed at minimum 2’ underground and cut off. The pole will be hauled off and repurposed on QB’s ranch properties. The remaining portion of the pole will be buried, again, with a minimum of 2’ of cover. When the pad was built, a berm was placed on the outer edge surrounding most of the pad, or approximately 1,640 feet. This berm shall be pulled of f the bank and placed at the toe of the original pad slope to blend the contours. This results in approximately 948 cubic yards of material. Once berm is placed, seed shall be placed using drill seed method and following the guidelines stated below in the General Seeding Requirements. The area for seeding will incorporate approximately 0.75 acres which encompasses the disturbances from grading the berm and removal of electrical infrastructure. 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 18C: 9.61 acres of this area was stripped of topsoil and a road was graded in through the area to access the ESR Site. Since only the topsoil was stripped and no mass grading was completed, the contours blend well with the surrounding contours. The operator shall use an excavator, given the steeper slopes, and loosen the existing ground to a depth of 18” for the expectation of growth success. Once ground is loosened, this area should be hydroseeded and application of soil amendments should be completed following the General Seeding Requirements below on approximately 9.61 acres. 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 18D, E, F, and G These areas are all lumped into one description due to the same requirements for each area. Overall, these areas consisted of mass grading in preparation for the retort facility for the Colony Mine. This resulted in large pads, several high walls, and uneven grading throughout these areas. Exhibit F represents the grading that needs to be completed for final reclamation. There is one existing concrete foundation located on the west side of Area 18G and east of the haul road. This foundation is 22’x6’x6’ and accounts for approximately 30 cubic yards of concrete. The foundation will be broken apart, placed along the toe of the existing highwall located adjacent to the existing foundation and backfilled with contouring efforts. Operator to ensure there is a minimum of 3’ of backfill over the concrete. There are 2 monitoring pins located on these pads that were used to
