4,1 Wetland Mitigation Area <br />The revised wetland mitigation plan includes construction of a 0.2 acre shallow emergent marsh/wet <br />meadow. The mitigation area will be constructed as a lOf ft wide bench around Island I (see W-1 <br />and RP-1). The mitigation area will be constructed in the same manner described in the original <br />Mitigation Plan. The wetland mitigation area will be constructed at the end of Mine Phase IV. <br />During Mine Phase V, wetland soils and vegetation will be excavated from the non jurisdictional <br />wetland in the Phase V mining area. The project proponent expects to construct the wetland <br />mitigation area in year 6 of the project. Fencing to protect the created wetlands from livestock will <br />not be necessary as the mitigation area will be around Island I, and will not be accessible to livestock <br />The ratio of created wetland to impacted wetland would be approximately 2.22:1. <br />All other wetland mitigation implementation, maintenance, and monitoring requirements will be in <br />accordance with the original plan. <br />
