• <br />Exhibit D Reclamation Plan <br />A reclamation plan for this mine has been prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. This <br />plan Specses seeding, timing, etc. Additional information specific to this mining and reclamation <br />operation is shown on the reclamation Map. <br />The mining progression is planned to allow reclamation of slopes as the quarry enlarges. The earthwork <br />to achieve the reclamation will involve construction of sliver fills along the walls. Shale waste rock will <br />be used to fill out the tce of the slope. The stored or recently stripped topsoil will be spread over the <br />graded slopes and this area seeded. The estimated cost per acre is as follows <br />1 n <br />Sliver fills using shale waste 1500 cubic yards per acre L $1.00 per c.y. _ $1500/acre . R 3 = /1 <br />Topsoil application 900 cubic yards per acre C $3.00 per c.y. = 52700/acre , S~ _ ~,6 <br />Seeding and fertilizer Per SCS Recommendations $1000 per acre$1000/ acre <br />Total reclamation wst per acre $5700. At anv given time there should be no more than 3 acres of area <br />waiting to be reclaimed. The maximum estimated final reclamation cost is <br />$5700/acre x 3 acres = $17,100 <br />The final reclamation of the site will return it to range land. Slopes gill graded and seeded. A berm will <br />be left in between the artoyo and the quarry site. Permanent stormwater catchment on the reclaimed <br />quarry floor will help retain moisture and collect sediment. The are no plans to remove the access road at <br />the completion, since it provides a less environmental damage than the route up the artoyo. <br />
