<br />Phase IV V Areas G>~ and 7~ wilt be stripped and mined. The topsoil will be removec, stockpiled, <br />preserved and vegetated in Ai'~~, orused immediately in reclamation. The sandstone <br />overburden will be stripped and stockpiled in front of area A or used as backfill in <br />reclamation._ This phase is expected to require ]0 years. The total area worked is <br />expected to be 37-1-§ acres. <br />Phase V Limestone will be removed from the remaining portion of Area lAl while roadways and <br />other pre-74 disturbance is mined and reclaimed. This is expected to require IO year,. <br />The total area worked at this time is expected to be 30 acres. Reclamation w ll continue <br />concurrently with mining through this abase whenever possible as outlined ire Phase Vl. <br />Phase VI Reclamation will be completed during this phase. The sandstone overburden will be <br />pushed back into the excavation left by the limestone leveled and contoured to a slope of <br />less than 2 to l._ The topsoil will be leveled over the sandstone to a depth off" to 12". <br />The area will be seeded with a mixture of Iindian ricegrass, ~Vwheat grass, Mmountain <br />mahogany and l~~abbit brush, to be hand broadcast at 18 Ibs per acre, in the spring. This <br />will be accomplished within 5 years of completion of mining. <br />At some point, if necessary, Area C may be stripped of topsoil which will be stockpiled in Area A., This <br />area will be used for crushing and stockpiling. This will be done, if necessary, in Phase III or later. <br />Because of [he construction of [he Rex-Roberts Road in 1997 (as approved by DMG), it may riot be <br />necessary to use Area C: if that is the case the Area will not be stripped. <br />EKHIBIT D.
