03-29-95 08:11 AM • TO 303 832 8106 • <br />"EXHIBIT D" <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Reclamation of the Thomeczek Pit will take two directions; one <br />the exposed water area and two, the balance of the land in the <br />permit area. Total land in permit area is 9.78 acres of which 2.48 <br />acres are dry land. <br />First, the exposed water area (pond) will be left in <br />ecologically sound manner. Thera will be no banks steeper than a <br />ration of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical ration) because banks will <br />be no more than 5 feet above and about 10 feet below the expected <br />water line. <br />The land area of the permit area shall be graded and top soil <br />placed so as to create the most successful growth of the re-seeded <br />grasses and tree life. Grading will be done in a manner to control <br />erosion and siltation of the land in the permit area. <br />By utilizing and enhancing the pond and the planting of <br />cottonwood trees and native willows, operator will create habitat <br />encouraging both game and non-game species. These trees will be <br />planted so as to insure their survival without irrigation <br />requirement. Cottonwood trees, approximately 50 on 2.48 acres, <br />will be of the one gallon potted nature. The cottonwood trees will <br />be planted so that roots will not be without moisture_ The native <br />willows will be established close to the gond to insure survival. <br />operator is stock piling and segregating top soil. Although, <br />upon completion of operations very little dry ground surface area <br />will be disturbed, stock piled top soil will be used as need on <br />roads or any other areas so that re-vegetation will be most <br />successfully accomplished. <br />Re-vegetation will be done in such a way as to establish a <br />diverse, effective and long lasting vegetation cover that is <br />capable of self regeneration at least equal in extent of Dover to <br />the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. <br />The top soil will be prepared to an average depth oP 7 to 10 <br />inches. The balance of the waste material stock pile will be <br />graded and modeled, covered with top soil and configured with a <br />minimum of 3:1 slope to minimize erosion and enhance successful <br />re-vegetation. <br />roads within permit area not utilized as ranch and farm roads <br />will be ripped, reconditioned and re-vegetated. <br />Re-seeding will follow the attached grass seeding plan, <br />furnished by the Soil Conservation Service. <br />-1- <br />P09 <br /> <br />
