(d) Plans for topsoil segregation, preservation and replacement; for stabilization, compaction <br />and grading of spoil; and for revegetation. <br />Topsoil <br />Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. For reclamation, topsoil will be <br />placed by a scraper and generally graded with a blade. Grading shall be done in a manner <br />that controls erosion and siltation of the affected lands, to protect areas outside of the affected <br />land from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading shall be completed <br />as soon as feasible after the mining process. <br />Topsoil will be replaced on areas above the anticipated high water line. The minimum <br />thickness shall be 6 to12 inches above the surrounding finished grade. The topsoil shall be <br />keyed to the underlying and surrounding material by the use of harrows, rollers or other <br />equipment suitable for the purpose. <br />ReveQetation <br />The property will be seeded with a seed mix that is specified for the soil. Please refer to <br />Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan (e) for further details on revegetation. <br />(e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. Include: <br />(i) an estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or phases <br />of reclamation; <br />Phase 1 21.5 months to mine <br />60 months to reclaim <br />Phase 2 29.9 months to mine <br />15 months to reclaim <br />Phase 3 32.6 months to mine <br />18 months to reclaim <br />Please note that the above schedule is an estimate based on the current market conditions. <br />However, the timing may vary depending upon the demand for construction material which <br />may impact the total life of the mining operation. <br />(ii) a description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each phase; <br />and <br />Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map (Exhibit F). <br />(iii) outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried out. <br />Reclamation will occur concurrent with mining, therefore the site reclamation will occur <br />from Phase 1 to Phase 3 following the mining sequence. <br />AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES - HAZELTINE MINE MLRB 112 PERMIT <br />
