<br />(ii) A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each phase. <br />As explained earlier, reclamation will occur on each 5-acre cell along the shoreline as soon as it is <br />completed. Mining will be followed by reclamation as closely as operationally feasible. <br />(iii) An outline of the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried out: <br />a. Topsoil lake banl: and shoreline with a minimum of 4" to 6" <br />b. Fertilize and straw mulch. <br />c. Seed with designated seed mix. <br />(f) A description of each of the following: <br />(i) Final grading: <br />The pit floor of shale will be left level at the excavated depth. Lake bank and shoreline will be <br />treated with the 4" - 6" of topsoil as described. <br />(ii) Seeding, types, mixtures, quantities and expected time of seeding. <br />The types, mixtures and quantities of seed to be applied are described in 6.4.5 (2) (d) above. SCS <br />recommendations and the operator's expertise in this area have shown that late Fall seeding is the <br />best time to seed, and generally gets the best results. <br />(iii) Fertilization type, quantity and time of application. <br />SCS recommendations are for 40#/acre of available N&P. This will be applied shortly before <br />seeding. <br />(iv) Revegetation -type of trees, shrubs, etc. <br />None are proposed at the present time. <br />(v) Topsoiling -specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths for those areas which <br />will be topsoiled. <br />As stated eazlier, a minimum of 4" - 6" is proposed to be replaced on all areas requiring treatment. <br />E-6 <br />
