• <br />RECLAMATION TIME TABLE <br />Year One thru Two <br />Evaluation of test plot will continue as planned to determine <br />the effectiveness of revegetation. This will be done in phase <br />I of the mining plan, the approximate number of acres i;a 1. <br />Year Three thru Five <br />1 Evaluation of test plot will continue. Sandstone overburden <br />will be backfilled into area I at a depth of 1' to 10'. This <br />will be in rough stockpiles for subsequent leveling.
