<br />EXHIBIT G <br />Reclamation Plan <br />GRADING <br />(1-b.) Grading consistent with the surrounding topography <br />will be achieved by bulldozing and hauling the subsoil and spoil <br />pile material (if any) £rom the western edge of the loadout area <br />back toward the portal entries. This cut and fill process, which <br />is a reverse of the developmental procedure, would eliminate the <br />highwall above and around the portal entries. Fill material for <br />the access road will also be taken from the bench. An average of <br />six inches of topsoil will be evenly distributed above the replaced <br />subsoil. <br />WATER IMPOUNDMENTS <br />(1-c.) Mining plans do not call for any water impoundments <br />as there is no water on the affected land and none is anticipated. <br />TOXIC MATERIALS DISPOSAL <br />(1-d.) Due to the extremely low sulphur content (.4%) <br />of the coal and the lack of water in the mine, it is unlikely that <br />any toxic or acid producing materials will result from the mining <br />operation. However, any and all such material will be buried a <br />minimum depth of five feet below the to be reclaimed subsoil. <br />REFUSE DISPOSAL <br />(1-e.) All refuse and debris accumulated during the <br />mining process will be buried a minimum depth of five feet below <br />the to be reclaimed subsoil. <br />REVEGETATION <br />(1-f.) Revegetation will take place upon termination <br />of the mining operation. Replacing of topsoil, which is a dark <br />grayish brown loam, will be the first step. This will be accomplished <br />by hauling the topsoil from the storage piles and spreading it with <br />a motor grader. Roger Bradshaw of the Delta County Soil Conservation <br />Office recommends that no fertilizer be used in the reclamation <br />process. It is his opinion that fertilization would initially <br />create more plant life than the area will ultimately sustain. The <br />following seeding rates are recommended: <br /> <br />
