gullies caused by erosion, are on both sides of and within thirty feet of the fence on the west side of the disturbed area. The fill will be mounded 6" to 12" high to provide material to repair any settling that occurs in the future. These areas were identified on the site visit conducted during September, 1995. All Phase I areas including the subsidence repair will be seeded with the approved seed mix and seeding schedule. Phase II includes the removal of the upper diversion ditch, D-3 and D-4, the lower collection ditch, D-1 and D-2, and the sedimentation pond after the reclaimed area is stabilized and vegetative cover has been established. Approval from the Division will be obtained prior to commencing reclamation ofthe facilities. The estimated total volume of material that will be moved is 13,800 bank cubic yards, with 8,500 bank cubic yards being moved in Phase I and 5,300 bank cubic yards in Phase II. The attached Table 1 presents the mass balance for the regrading work and is based on the current topographic map Exhibit 17 and cross sections, Exhibit 18, Sheets 1-3, developed from the current topographic map and the slope stability analysis done in the disturbed area. The Post Mining Topography is shown on Exhibit 19. The following equipment is expected to be used to establish the post mining topography: Bulldozer D-6 or larger Front End Loader Hydraulic Excavator The fill material will be placed in two foot lifts and compacted by mobile equipment, i.e. either a bulldozer or front end loader. (2) (D) Plan for redistribution of topsoil (a) The only topsoil stored at the mine site is the soil recovered from the sediment pond. The plan is to cover the pond site with 1-2 inches and then use the excess soil to cover the site. (2) (E) Plan for Revegetation (a) Schedule for revegetation i. Seeding time schedule, May 15 -June 15 14 A.
