III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 999 EXHIBITS D, E v MINING PLAN, RECLAMATION PLAN Format Exhibits D and E are being combined to facilitate the description of the construction and reclamation activites. Graphic representation of the various afIfected areas are presented on the Reclamation Plan Maps included in Exhibit F. These include topographic maps depicting the various areas into which the affected acreage has been subdivided. To aid in the discussion of site specific reclamation and/or stabilization activities, a series of oblique (not to scale) color air photos are included as Figures D-1 through D-5. Also included is Table D-1 which provides a detailed summary of the status of all affected acreage from 1982 through 1984. It should be understood that areas included in this Table and in the discussion to follow are "affected" acreage, not total permit acreage. For simplicity, in a few cases, the "affected" acreage includes small amounts of undisturbed lands which are then included among the "finished" areas in Table D-l. The revegetation techniques and seed mixes are described in Appendix D-l, and topsoil conservation is discussed in Appendix D-2. The plant species (grasses, fortis and shrubs) that will be used for both permanent and temporary revegetation are described in further detail in Exhibit E of the original Mined Land Reclamation Permit. Activities planned for the various areas are somewhat weather sensitive. The most likely deviations from the schedules proposed are those which reflect forced delays in revegetation from the fall to the spring season. Overview The following sections describe in detail the continued construction, reclamation and stabilization work scheduled for the 1982 through 1984 time period. The objectives of this program have been discussed with the Division and are reiterated below. To protect the environment in accordance with regulatory requirements and Exxon's permit commitments. To allow 'Exxon to continue limited construction on a modified schedule while preserving the option of resuming project development as currently permitted. When these principles are translated into the practical details of this interim reclamation, stabilization, and ongoing construction program, the following general guidelines result: 1. Complete construction of facilities which are essential to any future u development. ~ Examples: Middle Fork Dam, River Water Intak Access Road.
