Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been completed. <br />Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard horticultural practice for dryland applications <br />-generally between late September and the middle of April to ensure there is adequate <br />moisture for germination. <br />(e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. Include: <br />(i) An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or <br />phases of reclamation. <br />Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. <br />Please note that the schedule is an estimate based on current market conditions. The <br />timing may vary depending upon the demand for construction material, which may impact <br />the life of the mining operation. <br />(ii) A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each <br />phase. <br />Mining will occur in one phase. The f nal reclamation slopes for the water storage <br />reservoir will be created as part of the mining operation. Final reclamation of the site will <br />proceed once mining is complete. <br />(iii) Outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried <br />out. <br />Please refer to the Timetable for Mining and Reclamation in Section (e) of Exhibit D. <br />(f) A description of <br />(i) Final grading -maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof; <br />The finished slopes of the reservoir are expected to be 3.5 horizontal to 1 vertical. <br />(ii) Seeding-types, mixtures, quantities and time of application; <br />Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map for the list of plant materials and seeds to be <br />utilized. The operator will seed during the appropriate season to ensure adequate <br />moisture for germination and implement weed controls to allow the grasses to successfully <br />establish. <br />(iii) Fertilization -types, mixtures, quantities, and time of application; <br />The type and application rate of fertilizer shall be determined based on a soil test at the <br />time of final reclamation. <br />(iv) Revegetation -types of trees, shrubs, etc.; and <br />E-470 Public Highway Authority -Henderson Development (Sandy Acres) - MLRB 112 Permit Amendment Application <br />Exhibit E - 4 <br />
