R-i4 <br />(iii) The proposed sequence of reclamation stages is consistent <br />throughout Phases A, B, C, D, and E. <br />1. Replacement of overburden -rough grading <br />2. Replacement of topsoil (where applicable) <br />3. Final grading <br />4. Seeding <br />(fl <br />(i) Final grading of the mining area will be completed such that <br />no reclaimed slope will exceed 3:1. Contours shown on <br />revised Exhibit F are representative of the final grading plan <br />proposed. It is anticipated that pre-mining slopes in excess <br />of 3:1 wherein no mining occurs will remain at their natural <br />gradient. <br />(ii) Seeding (see above) <br />(iii) Fertilization will like-y be required within Phase E. The <br />following recommendations were received from area experts <br />based on soil analysis and proposed seed mixture: <br />Type: Mixed fertilizer (Basin Co-op) <br />Mixture: 46-0-0: 54%, 11-52-0: 43%, 36Zn 20S: 3% <br />Quantities: 202 Lbs! Acre <br />Time of application: Late Winter thru Earty Fall <br />(iv) Revegetation (see above) <br />(v) Topsoiting within phases A, B, C, and D will be replaced at <br />depths ranging from 6 - 8° or as dictated by the amount <br />present during pre-mining removal. It is not expected that <br />adequate topsoil for replacement exists in Phase E (see <br />section (a) above). <br />
