Reclamation Plan <br />(a) Description of the type of reclamation proposed to achieve the <br />reclamation of affected land, reasons for reclamation type <br />choice amount of acreage and general discussion of methods. <br />The type of reclamation for the proposed azea of operations will <br />be for rangeland use. The current site description and use is that <br />of vacant rangeland. All surrounding lands are currently used as <br />rangeland. With the exception of the irrigated Salazaz property <br />located to the west of the proposed azea of operations. Also the <br />Abeyta land located to the north west of proposed azea. <br />The total affected azea of approximately 60 acres within the <br />proposed azea will be reclaimed as rangeland, The azeas <br />surrounding the pit that are undisturbed will be for topsoil to be <br />stock piled. Topsoil stock piles will be seeded (via broadcast) <br />if left longer than one growing season. After the removal of <br />topsoil stock piles for site reclamation these azeas will be seeded <br />and fertilized with the same methods and seed/fertilizer mix as <br />pit floor and slope azeas. <br />Reclamation will be conducted on an as we go basis where we <br />mine, and aze no longer extracting material. We will lay down <br />topsoil and seed the azea. All slopes will be 3:1 a low earth berm <br />would be used to control and limit storm water from entering the <br />pit and ramp azeas. Only through direct precipitation will storm <br />water enter the pit azea. The low berm will extend azound the <br />entire excavated pit perimeter at the top the 3;1 slope and grain <br />berm will be located at the top of the access ramp. <br />Post mine use will be for rangeland. <br />There will be no public use permitted at the proposed area of <br />operations before, during or subsequent to the completion of <br />mining activities and reclamation. <br />Final grading will provide excavated pit floor azea with a fairly <br />level surface. Slopes into the excavated pit floor azea will be at <br />3:1. <br />Storm water control measures and best management practices <br />will be used to protect areas outside the affected area. All slopes <br />into the excavated pit azea will be stabilized at 3:1. There will be <br />no acid forming or toxic materials produced by mining and/or <br />reclamation activities at the proposed site. <br />_ ~. <br />~A~ 22zoo~ <br />Division of R'clarnatio <br />Ninin9 any Safety n' <br />
