Orchard Mesa Agg <br /> 11/94 <br /> EXHIBIT "E" <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> Reclamation - After the gravel has been removed, all disturbed <br /> areas will be reclaimed to a natural state. Slopes will be <br /> graded and shaped not to exceed a slope ratio of 3 : 1. Existing <br /> stockpiled topsoil from the site will be spread over the mining <br /> area to an approximate depth of 4 inches. Revegetation of all <br /> disturbed areas will be accomplished by hydro-seeding. The seed <br /> bed will be prepared by disc harrowing prior to revegetation. If <br /> the revegetation effort is not successful, the reclamation <br /> process will be pursued until success occurs as planned. <br /> The following vegetation will be applied: <br /> Species: ���(((```���� , Rates (pure live seed/acre) : <br /> GRASSES: 6 irj' 0 d � SuJ <br /> 1. —Fairway Awheatgrass AOAc' 4 . 0 lbs. <br /> (21 �alleta M/ all 4. 0 lbs. <br /> 3 .

Winterfat <br /> TREES: <br /> The site is treeless and therefore no trees will be planted. <br /> The above species were selected for planting from the Soil <br /> Conservation Service critical area planting guide for their ease <br /> of establishment, rate of spread, and salt/drought tolerance. <br /> (See Exhibit E-2 . ) <br /> The seeding will be attempted in late fall through early winter, <br /> yet immediately before the first predicted frost. <br /> Fertilizer is not applicable for this site due to the lack of <br /> consistent year-around moisture. Without adequate supplies of <br /> water, fertilizers will burn the grasses and possibly destroy <br /> them. <br /> E-1 <br />
