The operator, in agreement with the property <br />owner, has elected to reclaim the land for agricultural purposes and/or <br />for pasture-grazing. <br />The reclamation of the land will follow the mining. In Phase lA <br />the original pit will be located on the west side of the phase and will <br />move to the east; i.e., as each new area is mined to the east, a similar <br />area will be reclaimed on the west side of the pit. By utilizing this <br />method of mining, the amount of disturbed lands will be kept to a <br />minimum. <br />This same method of mining and reclamation will be used in Phase <br />1B. The original pit will be located in the southeast area of the phase <br />and will move to the west and north. <br /> After the original topsoil and overburden have been stockpiled, <br />' reclamation will consist of first removing the topsoil from the next <br /> area to be mined and respreading those soils over a previously back- <br />' filled area. The overburden will then be removed and used to backfill <br /> the previously mined out area. <br />' Reclaimed slopes on the pit perimeter will be kept to a 3:1 or <br /> less. On 3:1 slopes that exceed 40 feet in length, some small erosion <br />' control ditches will be used. Map Exhibit F shows the planned shape of <br /> the land after mining is complete. <br /> <br />' As soon as backfilling and slope grading are complete, the topsoil <br />ill be s <br />he back€illed area <br />mov <br />d f <br />m th <br />n <br />xt minin <br />area <br />re <br />d o <br /> re <br />e <br />ro <br />e <br />e <br />g <br />w <br />p <br />a <br />n t <br /> to a depth of approximate}y 8 to 12 inches. As each new area is <br /> disturbed, all available topsoil will be salvaged. Color changes in the <br /> soils will be used to determine where to stop salvaging topsoil. <br />' It is expected that approximately 2500 cubic yards of soils will <br /> be stockpiled for the final recoiling in each stage. The stockpiles <br /> will be planted with the following seed mixture to help prevent erosion <br /> losses during storage. The mix is intended to be broadcast. <br /> <br /> <br />' -12- <br />
