<br />EA^nIBIT E - Reclamation Plan <br />After the desired material has been removed from the affected area, the <br />reclamation process will commence using bulldozers, frontloeders, tractors, <br />and disk harrows. The reclamation plan includes the following steps: <br />Step 1 - Final grade the surface to a slope of 4:1 or less where <br />possible to prevent erosion and facilitate reseeding, In certain areas, <br />it may be necessery to go up to a slope of 2:1 in which case the land <br />will be terraced or other steps taken to preclude erosion, <br />Step 2 -Available stocY.piled topsoil will be spread over each completed <br />section. The thickness of the topsoil layer will depend on how much was en <br />each section prior to mining. The plan is to distribute from 2" to 6" over <br />the area when it is available. The Soil Conservation Service Office recommenas <br />that when no significant topsoil is available, the Operator should simply <br />apply fertilizer, double seeding, and mulch to the sandy soil found on <br />the site. <br />Step 3 -Apply a commercial mix fertilizer with 40~ availability per <br />acre. <br />Step 4 - Reseed the area twice with an appropriate native grass r^i:: <br />during spring or summer months. <br />Step 5 - Spread mulch on the surface era harrow it in so that it wil'_ <br />Y:old moisture and not be blown away. <br />The Operator has worked closely with the Soil Conservation Service Office <br />at Si.m1a in the pas*. several years and w~L continue to do so for the <br />reclamation of This mined erea.
