EXHIBIT D (Cont'd) <br />maximum of 42,044 yards will be required to resoil the <br />J affected land to be revegetated. Thus, excess soil is <br />estimated to be in the ratio of about 5.5 to 1. <br />If soils are to be stockpiled without disturbance for over <br />a year, a protective cover of Western Wheatgrass will be <br />planted during the first planting season after stockpiling. <br />The deeper material on the site is very gravelly and will be <br />excavated as aggregate source material. <br />Mining Plan. Mining will occur in seven stages so as to <br />minimize surface disturbances on the affected land at any one <br />time. Map Exhibit D-1 delineates the proposed mining stages, <br />the sequence of mining and estimated time duration of each <br />mining stage. <br />1 Mining will start in the northeast corner of the property <br />1 (Stage I, Exhibit D-1) and progress to the southeast part of <br />the affected land (Stage VI, Exhibit D-1). Stage P in the <br />south center of the area will be a site for the plant and <br />office complex which will exist throughout the life of the <br />mine. The final mining area will comprise approximately fifty <br />' percent of Stage P after removal of the plant and office. A <br />processing plant area covering approximately lOt acres will <br />t exist throughout the life of the mine. The processing plant <br />area may be moved five or six times during the life of the mine; <br />however, the lOt acres always will be included in the reclama- <br />tion cost estimate as a disturbed area. <br />-8- <br />
