<br />TODD DYSART <br />11481 CTY RD 370 <br />STERLING, CO 80751 <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> <br />Reclamation will consist of final shaping, applying 4 inches of previously stockpiled <br />topsoil and replanting the site with grass species adaptable to this azea. <br />Topsoil depths aze approximately 4 inches at the proposed site. Thin topsoil plus <br />additional topsoil or suitable overburden encountered will be stockpiled. since [he <br />topsoil directly overlies the deposit, there is no anticipated handling of <br />overburden. <br />Reclaimed slopes will have a maximum gradient of 3H:1 V to facilitate <br />revegetation and reduce soil erosion. <br />Topsoil depths in this azea average 4 inches. Since only 4 inches are available, <br />only that amount will be removed or stockpiled. In any additional topsoil is <br />encountered, it will be stockpiled as well. <br />4. The soil Conservation Service has recommended that seeding be done between <br />November 1, and Apri130, with a disc drill for best results. The seedbed will be <br />prepazed for chiseling [he site, and then mulching with either 2 tons per acre of <br />straw followed by light discing to crimp the straw, or spreading approximately 20 <br />tons of manure per acre. Fertilizer will be applied at a very low rate <br />recommended for rangeland in this azea prior to chiseling. <br />The Soil Conservation Services has recommended the following seed mixture for <br />the area: (See Exhibit D, Page 3) <br />Variety Species Pounds/Acre <br />Vaughn, Butte sideoats grama 1.8 <br />Arriba, Barton western wheatgrass 3.2 <br />Pastura, Cimmarron little bluestem 1.4 <br />Grenville, Neb 28 switchgrass .09 <br />Goshen prairie sandreed 1.3 <br />Trees and shrubs will not be planted since they do not naturally grown on this soil <br />type in this area. <br />6. Straw is readily available in the area and will be crimped into [he soil by light <br />discing. The straw mulch will be applied at 2 tones per acre. Manure will also be <br />considered as mulch and, if used, will be applied at 20 tons per acre as per Soil <br />Conservation Service. <br />There will be no ponds, streams or buildings remaining after reclamation. <br />EXHIBIT D, PAGE 1 <br />
