EXHIBIT"D" <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> a. When and what depth overburden will be replaced in relation to extraction? <br /> Overburden will be moved directly to backsloping and pit floor coverage during stripping in the <br /> mining operation. There will be none stockpiled. Exhibit "C" Mining Plan (c) details the <br /> overburden thickness as ranging from 16" - 36" in the predominant soil types on site. <br /> b. Maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes (horizontal:vertical) <br /> The applicant proposes that during mining the pit slopes will be backfilled and sloped at 3H:1 V or <br /> flatter as described immediately above for purposes of stability and ease of revegetation. <br /> c. Measures that will be taken to revegetate the site. <br /> (i) thickness of plant growth medium to be replaced. <br /> The soils report indicates there is 5" - 6" of topsoil when will be replaced. The topsoil will be <br /> stockpiled on the perimeter in low berms during mining to protect from erosion and preserve the <br /> integrity, If a stockpile is to be left in place for more than one growing season, it will be seeded with <br /> 6#/A Western Wheatgrass. <br /> (ii) Time of seeding, seedbed preparation, type, application rate and soil incorporation, <br /> method of fertilizer application. <br /> The site will be preferably seeded in the Fall. If this is not possible,then seeding will take place in <br /> the early Spring. It appears that seeding will be unable to start for 3 - 5 years,due to the limited zise <br /> of the deposit and the working area. The seedbed will be prepared either by discing or chiseling. <br /> Fertilizer will be applied at the rate of: <br /> 40#/A available N <br /> 40#/A available P <br /> Fertilizer will be applied immediately before discing or chiseling for incorporation into the soil. <br /> (iii) State the species to be planted and the applicable quantities. <br /> 9S <br /> Species Variety #/APLS <br /> �.S v ao sideoats grama Vaughn or Niner 2.00 Z.5 <br /> /c blue grama Lovington or Hachita 1.50 0. <br /> �.a L /5- western wheatgrass Barton 4.00 a D <br /> Total 7.50 <br /> o,�1G <br /> p <br />
