<br /> <br />EXHIBIT "D" <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />a. When and what depth overburden will be replaced in relation to extraction. <br />This is primarily gravelly, sandy soils with little to no overburden. Any overburden encountered will <br />be c ~~~ filed sepazate fro rm he t~soil on the pit enP ~ ~ete~s for replacement in reclamation. <br />b. Maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes (horizontal:vertical) <br />The reclaimed pit floor will be level with a slight pitch to the south and east. Backslopes on the <br />north and the short west side will be finished at a maximum'of 1-1/~ or flatter, depending on <br />the material composition. ~- -~~ <br />c. Measures that will be taken to revegetate the site. <br />(i) Thickness of the plant growth medium to be replaced. <br />The SCS soils information indicates topsoil ranging from 3" to 8", which will be st i e on the <br />pit pe~ rim meters mentioned earlier. It is anticipated that 6" of topsoil or growth medium will be <br />available for replacement. <br />(ii) Time of seeding, seedbed preparation, type, application rate and soil incorporation, <br />method of fertilizer application. <br />Fall seedingCs>proposed and historically has provided the best results. The seedbed will be <br />scarified by discing or chiseling if it has been compacted during the operation. Fertilizer will be <br />broadcast before scazification at the rate of: <br />40#/A available N ~j <br />40#/A available P <br />(iii) State the species to be planted and applicable quantities. <br />The following is a seed mix recommended by SCS that has worked well in this azea: <br />S ec'es <br />.: <br />Blue grama <br />Side Oats / / <br />Little Bluestem / <br />Varie #/A Pls <br />Covington 1.8 <br />Vaughn ;. 5.4 <br />Camper oar Native 2.8 <br />2'"l ~, o~ y~ <br />.~ ~ <br />
