The timetable is for the purpose of <br />establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation during the different phases of a mining operation. You <br />will not be required to meet specific dates for initiation, or completion of mining in a phase as may be identified in the <br />timetable. This does not exempt you from complying with the performance standazds of Section 3.1. Such timetable <br />should include: <br />the operation; <br />(i) an estimate of the periods of time which will be required for ttte various stages or phases of <br />(ii) a description of the size and location of each area to be worked during each phase; and <br />(iii) outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of the operation will be carried out. <br />(Timetables need not be separate and distinct from the mining plan, but may be incorporated therein) <br />(t) A map (in Exhibit C -Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Maps(s) of Atl'ected Lands, Subsection 6.4.3) may <br />be used along with a narrative to present the following information: <br />(i) nature, depth and thickness of the ore body or deposit to be mined and the thickness and type <br />of overburden to be removed (may be marked "CONFIDENTIAL," as per Paragraph 1.3(3)); and <br />(ii) nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in sedimentary deposits. <br />and <br />(g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extmcted and describe the intended use; <br />(h) name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be mined/extracted by the <br />~ proposed operation. <br />~ N:XATRTT F, - Rerlnmafinn Plan !Role fi.4.51: (1) In pteparlIlg the Reclamation Plan, you SllOnld lle SpeCltC In teTlnS <br />of addressing such items as final grading (including drainage), seeding, fertilizing, revegetation (trees, shmbs, etc.), and <br />topsoiling.

Reclamation shall be required on all the affected land. The <br />Reclamation Plans shall include: <br />(a) A description of the type(s) of reclamation you propose to achieve in the reclamation of the affected <br />land, why each was chosen, the amount of acreage accorded to each, and a general discussion of methods of reclamation <br />as related to the mechanics of earthmoving; <br />
