<br />EXHIBIT D <br />Reclamation Plan <br />(Section 6.3.4) <br />Geuera!!y <br />As described in Exhibit C -Mining Plan, Applicant's operations at the Brown Derby Mine are <br />no[ expected to require construction of any improvements on the affected lands, and are not <br />expected to cause surface disturbance other than the minimal disturbance caused by trucks <br />entering, turning and departing the affected lands. Applicant's operations are not expected to <br />impact existing slopes on the affected lands. The only remedial measure foreseen by Applicant <br />in connection with its operation is the possible revegetation of the area immediately surrounding <br />the Mine entrance and [he parking area near [he northern boundary of the affected lands, where a <br />small truck or pickup truck will enter, turn, load and depart. To the extent that existing <br />vegetation is impacted by truck activity, Applicant intends to revegetate [his area to meet the <br />revegetation standards set forth in Rule 3, Section 3.1.10. To the extent any portion of the Mine <br />entrance area is disturbed to facilitate truck movement, the disturbed portion will be revege[a[ed <br />to the same standard. For the reasons discussed below in Paragraph (e), Applicant intends to <br />leave the grate now covering [he Mine entrance in place during and after Applicant's operations. <br />The grate will constitute a final remedial measure in connection with permanent closure of the <br />Mine entrance. Finally, Applicant's operations aze not expected [o impact any existing vertical <br />rock face surrounding the Mine entrance, and no remedial action is proposed in respect of these <br />faces. <br />Section 6.3.4 <br />Applicant sets forth the following information required pursuant to Rule 6, Section 6.3.4(1): <br />(a) Overburden Replacement. Applicant does not expect to remove or stockpile <br />overburden, and hence no overburden will be replaced. <br />(b) Mccrimum Gradient. All operations are expected to be underground, without impact to <br />existing slopes on the affected lands, including the slopes above and east of the Mine <br />entrance. Accordingly, Applicant does not anticipate reclamation of any slopes. <br />(c) Revegetatron. <br />(i) Applicant expects that the only surface impact will be that resulting from driving <br />small dump trucks or pickup trucks across the Mine entrance area or the parking <br />area near the northem boundary of the affected lands. This area, in its present <br />condition, is sparsely vegetated. To the extent that revegetation of this area is <br />required, Applicant does not expect that plant growth medium will be required to <br />achieve a revegetated condition similar to present conditions or that required by <br />Rule 3, Section 3.1.10. <br />Exhibit D - 1 <br />
