time of seeding and planting; (e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. Such plan or schedule shall not be tied to any specific date but shall be tied to implementation or completion of different stages of the mining operation as described in Subparagraph 6.4.4(1)(e). The plan or schedule shall include: (i) An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or phases of reclamation; and (ii) A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each phase; (iii) An outline of the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried out. (T'he schedule need not be separate and distinct from the Reclamation Plan, but maybe incorporated therein.) (f) A description of each of the following: (i) Final grading -specify maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof; planting; (ii) Seeding -specify types, mixtures, quantities, and expected time(s) of seeding and (iii) Fertilization - if applicable, specify types, mixtures, quantities and time of application; (iv) Revegetation -specify types of trees, shrubs, etc., quantities, size and location; and (v) Topsoiling -specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths for those azeas where topsoil will be replaced. F.XTTTRTT (: -Water TnfnrmsHnn (Role 6.4.7; (1) If the operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems, a statement of that expectation shall be submitted. (2) If the operation is expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems, you shall: (a) Locate on the map (in Exhibit C) tributary water courses, wells, springs, stock water ponds, reservoirs, and ditches on the affected land and on adjacent lands where such structures may be affected by the proposed mining operations; (b) Identify all known aquifers; and (c) Submit a brief statement or plan showing how water from dewatering operations or from runoff from disturbed azeas, piled material and operating surfaces will be managed to protect against pollution of either surface or groundwater (and, where applicable, control pollution in a manner that is consistent with water quality dischazge permits), both during and after the operation. (3) You must provide an estimate of the project water requirements including flow rates and annual volumes for the development, mining and reclamation phases of the project. (4) You must indicate the projected amount from each of the sources of water to supply the project water requirements for the mining operation and reclamation.
