,, <br />(5) <br />(6) <br />(7 ) <br /> <br />EXHIBTT E - Reclamation P]an <br />a. Reclamation proposed is seeding with range grasses suggested by <br />the local Soil Conservation Service, Phase I was stripped prior <br />to 19'6 and had 0,$ agricultural purpose, Phase II Ss covered <br />with overburden stripped fY~om Phase I, <br />b, The surrounding area is rangeland. <br />c, Seeding to range grasses would be more than adequate to restore <br />Phase I and Phase II to conditions as they existed in iq]6, <br />d. The existing condition was a cinder cone being mined, No <br />tirnter is impounded, <br />e. Seed would be broadcast during September or October with the SCS <br />recommendation of 6,6 lbs PIS Basin Wildrye, 9,6 lbs PIS Western <br />Wheatgrass, 3,0 lbs PLS Needle and Thread, and 8,4 lbs PIS <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass per acre, <br />f, (i) Seeding would not occur until the final depth had been <br />reached. <br />(11) Ttirelve acres in Phase I and ten acres in Phase II, <br />(iii) Not applicable <br />g, ~ Final grade is anticipated to be approxLnately flat, <br />Seeding - see e, above <br />(iii) Fertilization - not applicable <br />(iv) Revegetation - see e, above <br />(v) No topsoiling is planned, <br />EXHIBIT F - Reclamation Plan Map <br />a, See profile of cinder cone on map Exhibit C, <br />b, See profile of cinder cone on map Exhibit C, <br />EXHIBIT G - Water Information <br />a, The cinder pit itself does not have any drainage coming into it <br />nor does it contribute to drainage in the immediate area, The <br />site is surrounded by the railroad and there are several sediment <br />ponds formed by the county road which x111 trap water leaving the <br />site, Any rainfall on the site would probably never leave the <br />site due to the porous nature of the cinders, There are no severe <br />erosion problems associated with the site, The site presently <br />does not pose any water quality problems (erosion oriented) to <br />the surrounding azea, <br />b, The mining operation is not expected to affect surface or ground <br />water systems, <br />c, None <br />d. Not applicable <br />e, Not applicable <br />(8) EXHIBIT H - Wildlife Information <br />a, The status of wildlife on the volcanic cone has not changed since <br />19y6 and is not expected to change with the proposed mining plan, <br />
