• changes to the reclaimed site for recreational <br /> purposes . The same vegetation can be accommodated. <br /> Any wildlife in the area would have a reasonably <br /> equivalent access . No less water in the area will <br /> result from the change . No air pollution will <br /> result and in fact with more area dedicated to <br /> water, less dust should result . Surface soil <br /> conditions will remain relatively unchanged in <br /> the reclaimed areas and will have equivalent <br /> plant growing potentials . Water impoundments <br /> are described in paragraph a . of this Exhibit . <br /> e . For grading , compaction, and stabilization opera- <br /> tions , refer to Paragraph c. l of this exhibit . <br /> For topsoiling operations , refer to Paragraph c. 4 <br /> of this exhibit . For vegetation operations , <br /> refer to Paragraph c. S of this exhibit . <br /> f. Timetables - See mining plan for phase locations . <br /> Phase I - 40 Acres±. This area has been mined <br /> and partially reclaimed during the 1974 through <br /> the 1978 period. The existing overburden stock- <br /> piles in the Phase I area will be used to complete <br /> dike slopes and to spread over the entire disturbed <br /> • area along the north side which has not been excava- <br /> ted to depths to impound water. The regrading and <br /> stockpile placement will begin in 1980 to be <br /> completed within the five year limit allowed by <br /> the Act . Grass planting will occur according to <br /> schedules provided by SCS . <br /> Phase II - 54 Acres ± . This area has been <br /> approximately 60% mined during the 1978 to 1980 <br /> period. Some stockpiling of overburden has <br /> occurred with the remainder to be stockpiled as <br /> needed. The stockpiled overburden will be used <br /> to complete shaping of dikes to the required slopes <br /> and to provide a 6" to 12" topping for vegetative <br /> development . This Phase of reclamation will begin <br /> in 1981 to be completed within the 'five year limit <br /> allowed by the Act . As with Phase I , grass planting <br /> will occur according to recommendations and <br /> schedules of SCS. The mining operation will extend <br /> into 1981 . <br /> Phase 11l - SO Acres± . This area has been less <br /> than 15% mined prior to 1980 . The remaining mining <br /> will occur in the 1981 to 1983 period with stock- <br /> piling of overburden as needed. As with Phase I <br /> and II , the overburden will be used to shape dikes <br /> and other areas and to provide a 6" to 12" topping <br /> for vegetative development . Reclamation will begin <br /> • in 1982 and be completed within five years . <br /> 5 of 7 <br />
