<br />EENIHIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The purpose of the Raftopoulos Pit No 1 ie to produce a <br />source of road construction materials for Moffat County's road <br />system in the northern portion of the county. The Moffat County <br />Road Department (operator) will mine and store road base <br />materials until they are used. <br />Whenever it is practical the operator will grade the mined- <br />out portions of the excavation area ae soon as it ie possible. <br />But the final grading and the application of topsoil, generally, <br />will not be undertaken until the whole pit is ready for <br />reclamation. <br />Moffat County will stabilize the topsoil stockpiles, and <br />reclaim the affected area with the standard seed-mix formula in <br />Ezhibit H-1 attached to this plan. <br />SPECIFIC RECLAMATION INFORMATION <br />1. There will be no overburden stockpiles at this mine; <br />2. The maximuto gradient of reclaimed elopes will be 4:1 <br />(Rorizontal to Vertical); <br />3. The future use of the affected area will be rangeland; <br />4. The Operator will replace 8" to 12" of topsoil on the graded <br />slopes and will apply the approved seed-mix formula as specified <br />in Exhibit E-1; <br />5. The topsoil will be diaced to bind it to the sub-soil and it <br />will either be drilled ~j" to 1" deep in the prepared seedbed, or, <br />the seed will be broadcast at the rates specified in Exhibit E-1; <br />6. If broadcast the seed shall be raked or harrowed after <br />application; <br />7. Mulch and fertilizer will not be effective in this soils <br />type, therefore, it will not be used; <br />8. Moffat County and the Division of Minerals and Geology have <br />adopted a seed-mix formula for all of the County Road <br />Department's gravel pits. (aee Exhibit E-1) This formula was <br />adopted from recommendations by the 3oi1 Conservation Service, <br />BLM Range speciallats, County Extension Agent, Division of <br />Minerals reclamation Specialist, Gregg Squire, and Moffat <br />County's own experienced personnel; <br />EXHIBIT E S~ <br />
