A minimum 500 foot setback will be maintained around the permit boundary which will allow access. As shown on the Mining Plan map, this setback is substantially more than 500 feet in most areas. The reclamation of all processing sites will be delayed until the final phase of mining is completed. At that time the ground will be scarified, leveled, and seeded with grass. The location of processing sites are intended to serve several phases of mining before being moved. No trees or shrubs will be planted for site revegetation. E -6 1
