<br />EXH181T "E" <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Reclamation will be effected by grading the slopes of the pit at a <br />two to one slope, resulting in a depressed triangle upon the premises in <br />the approximate shape of the green line on Map "B". Stockpiles of topsoil <br />would be relayered to a dpepth of 6 to 12 feet to support the vegetation. <br />It should be noted that there are existing piles of topsoil which have <br />been removed as shown on Map "C-1". In addition, by the contours shown <br />on the Exhibit "B" map, to the West of the pit is a high point ridge or <br />crest, and upon the crest of the hill, topsoil exists to a depth of 7 <br />feet and then feathers out in a westerly direction to 5 feet and then to <br />3 feet. Thus, there is undisturbed topsoil of 4 to 5 acres, to a depth <br />of 3 to 7 feet, to the West of the area of excavation, which could also <br />be used by way of leveling down and stripping 1 or 2 feet of topsoil so <br />as to be able to relayer the triangular depression 6 to 12 inches deep <br />with topsoil. The disturbed area on the top from which the topsoil is <br />stripped, would be replanted with wheat, the present ground cover on <br />this area to continue the seasonal marginal tarming on this part of the <br />property. <br />The two to one sloping requirements will necessitate a horizontal <br />discing so as to minimize erosion and hold the seed when revegetation <br />occurs. The slopes and the base of the pit will be replanted with a <br />revegetative mix of 8 pounds of pure live seed per acre of the following <br />types of grasses and ground cover and in the following proportions per <br />acre: <br />1. 3 pounds of Western Wheat Grass; <br />2. 3 pounds of smooth ~brome; <br />3. .5 pounds of sand drop seed; <br />4. 1 pound Russian wild rye; <br />5. .5 pounds yellow sweet clover. <br />Reclamation, as set forth above, will be effected no later than one <br />year beyond the date of performance for this governmental contract as <br />set forth in Exhibit "I". It is anticipated that with extensions and <br />additional materials required as set forth in Exhibit "I", that the <br />contract would be completed no later than April 1, 1980. Therefore, the <br />reclamation would be complete on this site by April 1, 1981. <br />With regard to the reclamation schedule set forth above, it is <br />anticipated as described in Exhibit "B", that the timetable, type of <br />reclamation set forth above, and the bond to secure the same will be <br />superseded by the reclamation set forth in the limited impact permit <br />application submitted contemporaneous with this special permit application. <br />As a consequence, then, once a limited impact permit is granted to the <br />operator, the requirements of reclamation under this special permit <br />would be superseded and the bond released or applied towards the limited <br />impact permit. Further along, if the operator proceeds to make application <br />for a regular permit, which he fully intends, the reclamation set forth <br />in the regular permit would supersede the reclamation in the limited <br />impact permit. Thus, the reclamation and timetable set forth above <br />would be the reclamation on the site if the operator does not procure <br />any further permits, which would supersede or replace this permit on <br />this site. <br />EXHIBIT "E" -Reclamation Plan <br />
