• ® • <br />EXHIBIT D <br />Reclamation Plan <br />1. As stated earlier, overburden will be spread on the mined <br />slopes and the processing area when mining is complete. The <br />reserved topsoil will be placed at a depth of 6 inches on the mined <br />slopes. (During the course of the mining operations, topsoil <br />stockpiles will be segregated in the northeast corner of the pit <br />and identified with signs. The topsoil stockpiles will be seeded <br />to establish a vegetative cover.) The remaining overburden will be <br />evenly distributed over the floor of the pit to prepare the ground <br />for home sites. The work will be done before March 1999. <br />2. Slopes will be graded to 3:1 or less in the mined area. <br />3. Measures to be taken to revegetate the site: <br />a. Overburden will be placed on the slopes at a depth of 6 <br />inches. The remaining overburden will be evenly distributed over <br />the floor of the pit. <br />b. Seed selection and revegetation will follow recommendations <br />by the S.C.S. Seeding will be done in the late fall of 1998 or <br />early spring of 1999. Depending on development within the <br />subdivision seeding may occur earlier or be done in conformity with <br />a future subdivision landscaping scheme. <br />c. A seed mixture from the S.C.S. office is included. (See <br />Attachment 2) <br />d. Seed will be spread using a seed drill. <br />e. No mulch is planned for use in this reclamation. <br />f. No trees and/or shrubs are planned for use in this <br />reclamation. <br />4. The haul road will remain and will become part of the <br />subdivision road system. All equipment will be removed from the <br />effected land. All stockpiles will either be removed or graded <br />flat and the site will be left in a neat and orderly manner. <br />5. Due to the size of the natural aggregates and the products to <br />be manufactured, no waste rock is anticipated. No washing of sand <br />or aggregates will occur thus there will be no tailings or sediment <br />control facilities. No buildings will be constructed in <br />association with the mining. The site will be re-graded and <br />revegetated and sold for residential development. <br />6. Estimated costs of reclamation. (See Attachment 3) <br />
