<br />Exhibit A <br />1 and c^. Because the operation may disturb all portions of the <br />property, the operator has chosen to permit the entire 35 <br />acres. Any disturbance outside of the mining area would be <br />minor, such as ^ccassional equipment traffic. <br />Exhibit D <br />1. A partial source of topsoil will come from 2.2 acre feet that <br />is currently stockpiled on the site. Supposedly this 2.2 <br />acre feet was salvaged from the 20 acres where wind deflation <br />had not removed the surface horizons. Distributing this 2.2 <br />acre feet between 4 to 8 inches deep provides enough topsail <br />for 4.4 acres, assuming a 6 inch average. <br />The remaining plant-growth medium necessary to cover the rest <br />of the 24 acres to the same average depth will be salvaged <br />from the exposed subsoil areas resulting from the wind <br />deflation. Texturally, the subsoil of the Blakeland loamy <br />sand is the same as the surface horizon. A concern therefore <br />would 6e that the subsoil have an equal availability of <br />organic matter. The addition of organic matter to the <br />subsoil being used as plant-growth medium would provide the <br />additional humus source necessary in part to bind the soil <br />together for structure formation and also provide additional <br />exchange sites for the soil chemical process. In order to <br />bring the organic matter content up to 2 to 4 percent <br />(topsail equivalent for this sail), 2 tons per acre foot of <br />weed free manure will be added at the time of distribution <br />for reclamation. In addition, composite samples will be <br />taken at the time of placement so that fertilizer and other <br />amendments can 6e determined. <br />Based on the changes in topsoil handling, organic matter <br />amendment and increased acres to be reclaimed, the <br />reclamation costs will be as follows: <br />Topsoiling <br />17.1 acres due to mining (6 inch average <br />@ 50.8D/yd. 511,035.20 <br />12.7 acres to have manure @ <br />2 tons/acre and 56.00/tan 203.20 <br />Grading <br />2 hours of scraper time per acre at <br />560.00/hr. 2,400.00 <br />Seeding, mulching, and cr-imping <br />17.1 acres @ 5300.00/acre 5,130.00 <br />Total 518,420.40 <br />1 <br />veering & Envnonmental <br />
