The post mining land is consistent with adjacent land. Side <br />slopes will be no greater than 3:1 and the floor of the mined azea will be at a slope of no <br />less than one percent. Compacted azeas will be ripped during reclamation and all excess <br />pit fined, pit waste material, and stockpiled overburden will be placed in a course duectly <br />above the previously mined azeas. Topsoil, which was stockpiled, will be spread evenly <br />over the re-contoured site to a depth of 6 inches or more. The site will then be tilled and <br />firmed to prepaze a suitable seed bed.

(i) Topsoil which was stockpiled, will be spread evenly over the re-contoured <br />site to a depth of 6 inches or more. <br />(ii) The site will be tilled and firmed to prepaze a suitable seed bed. seeding <br />of the site will be done in the late fall (October 15s' or later) prior to the <br />soil freezing. No fertilizer will be applied. <br />(ui) The following grass species will be used to reseed the site. the rate is <br />based on pounds of pure live seed per acre. <br />SPECIE <br />Western wheatgrass <br />Thickspike wheatgrass <br />Steambank wheatgrass <br />Russian wildrye <br />Crested wheatgrass <br />VARIETY <br />Arriba <br />Critana <br />Siberian <br />V final <br />Ephraim <br />Total Pounds PLS/Acre <br />POUNDS PLS/ACRE <br />3.2 <br />2.2 <br />2.2 <br />2.0 <br />2.0 <br />11.6 <br />(iv) Seed will be drilled with a grass drill having double disk openers and <br />packer wheels. planting depth at approximately '/s inch. <br />(v) Mulch is recommended with clean, weed free straw. Mulch must be <br />property crimped into the soil with a disc or mulch crimper. <br />(vi) No shrubs or trees aze to be planted. <br />
