RECLAMATION PLAN <br />It is planned that reclamation of the affected area will begin as soon as <br />mining has progressed sufficiently to allow reclamation to begin. <br />The first phase of reclamation will be to fill in and eliminate as much of the <br />surface area of the pond formed from mining as possible with the fines returned <br />from processing. Then the remaining slopes will be contoured to not less than <br />a three to one slope. <br />The second phase will be to replace topsoil over the disturbed area at a <br />minimum depth of at least six inches. <br />The third thing is to seed the area in accordance with the recommendations of <br />the Soil Conservation Service. (see Exhibit D) , <br />C- The final area and contours of the pond created by mining is unknown as it is <br />not known how much of the pond will be reclaimed by the return of the fine factions <br />from the material processing. <br />The final use for the area after mining will be for wildlife. <br />
