<br />• Phase 7 Area B6 will be quarried for limestone, The high calcium <br />limestone will be removed from Area B6 using conventional open <br />pit drilling and blasting methods. The limestone will be <br />loaded into trucks and howled to the stockpile area for sizing <br />and stockpiling. <br />The overburden stockpiled in the perimeter area will be back- <br />filled into Areas BS and B6. The overburden will be contoured ~~ <br />to a slope of 2 to 1 or less, leveled and revegetated with: <br />Indian Ricegrass, 3.211/acre; Western Wheatgrass, 4.011/acre; <br />Mountain Mahogany, 4.Of1/acre; Sage, 1.511/acre; Rabbit Brush, <br />2.511/acre. Ponderosa seedings @ 10 per acre. <br />The high wall remaining in Area B6 will be contoured to a <br />slope of 2 to 1 utilizing blasted overburden and limestone. <br />This slope will be contoured, leveled and revegetated with: <br />Indian Ricegrass, 3.211/acre; Western Wheatgrass, 4.011/acre; <br />Mountain Mahogany, 4.011/acre; Sage, 1.511/acre; Rabbit Brush, <br />2.511/acre. Ponderosa seedings @ 10 per acre. <br />The stockpile area will be scarified, leveled and contoured to <br />match the surrounding terrain as close as possible and provide <br />drainage. The area will be covered with the available topsoil <br />of a depth of 8 inches of topsoil and revegetated with: Indian <br />Ricegrass, 3.211/acre; Western Wheatgrass, 4.011/acre; Mountain <br />Mahogany, 4.0/l/acre; Sage, 1.511/acre; Rabbit Brush, 2.511/acre. <br />Ponderosa seedings @ 10 seedings per acre. <br />This phase will require 72 months. The disturbed area will be <br />approximately: <br />Major - 1.25 acres <br />Moderate - 1.58 acres <br />Minor - 14.76 acres <br />This will complete the mining and reclamation of the entire <br />area. <br /> <br />
