<br />~ks and Gesso, LLC <br />Topsoil Replacement <br />Topsoil replacement to a thickness of approximately 1 ft. will occur following <br />sloping and regrading of all disturbed surface areas that will be exposed above <br />and slightly below the high-water level of the filled reservoirs within the permit <br />area. <br />Topsoil spread as plant-growth medium will be spread over ground that has been <br />smoothed and readied for topsoil replacement. Due to the loose and permeable <br />nature of the sand and gravel over the slightly disturbed pit edges (containing the <br />slurry wall), ripping or scarifying of the disturbed ground will not be required. <br />Disking of the topsoil may be required due to compaction while in storage, and <br />this will be performed prior to seeding, if necessary. <br />Revegetation <br />All surface areas disturbed by mining activities will be topsoiled and drill-seeded <br />for final reclamation with the seed mixes shown in Tables E-1 and E-2. These <br />two seed mixes have been developed, based on recent correspondence (August <br />12, 1999) with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), who <br />specified these mixes for another similar site near to this permit proposal. A copy <br />of this correspondence follows Tables E-1 through E-3 in this Exhibit. The seed <br />mix specified in Table E-3 is for use on topsoil storage berms that will be located <br />in their positions for a short duration, but will require arapid-growing seed mix. <br />Ft.
