<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />to a transfer station or solid waste landfill facility. No refuse will be disposed of on the affected <br />lands. No swimming facilities aze planned for the private, open lake end land use. <br />The topsoil and silty overburden soils will be stockpiled along the southern site boundary and along <br />the south end of the eastern boundary within the excavation setbacks. Topsoil and overburden <br />stockpiles that will remain in place for periods longer than one growing season will be seeded with a <br />fast-growing temporary cover seed mix to protect them from erosion by wind or precipitation. <br />Reclaimed slopes and disturbed excavation bank tops will be recovered with six to ten inches of <br />topsoil material prior to planting and seeding. Topsoil spreading will be performed in a manner to <br />minimize the potential for overcompaction and, hence, create a viable root zone. <br />A limited number of cottonwood trees and snags will be incidentally excavated neaz the western limits <br />of mining. A 50 ft buffer zone will be established along Boulder Creek to protect ripazian wildlife <br />habitat, preserve jurisdictional wetlands and preserve additional trees. Replanting of trees to enhance <br />shoreline vegetation and habitat will be performed along Boulder Creek. 1'be Soil Conservation <br />Service (SCS) has been contacted regazding revegetation and fertilization recommendations. Their <br />response (included at the end of this Exhibit) has been utilized where practical and a revegetation plan <br />has been developed as part of this reclamation plan. <br />Revegetation is an important part of this reclamation plan. After backfilling and grading, planting <br />and seeding will be initiated as soon as practicable. This will usually be at the beginning of the <br />following growing season after a given mining yeaz is completed. For lake shoreline and shoreline <br />side slopes to ten feet be]ow maximum pool elevation where grasses will be planted, the following <br />seed mix and application rates will be used: <br />Species Percent of Mix <br />Switchgrass 25 <br />Western Wheatgrass 30 <br />Alkalai Sacaton 45 <br />PLSP1/Ib/ac bL s/ac <br />x 4.5 1.13 <br />x 16.0 4.80 <br />x 1.5 .70 <br />O1 Pure Live Seed <br />• 14 <br />~~~ <br />
