RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> Reclamation will proceed on Phases 1 and 2 of the original Tozer Pit. Phase 3 will be <br /> used to access and work the BLM parcel to the south. Phase 1 is an area in the Tozer Pit that <br /> has been reclaimed but not released. Phase 2 will be graded and reclaimed; the slope detail is <br /> included on the reclamation plan map. <br /> Phase 3 will remain the area for some product stockpile, equipment maneuvering and <br /> entry/exit from the affected area for the life of the project. At the end of the project, this phase <br /> will be reclaimed with the same site specifications as the rest of the project. Phase 3 will be <br /> the last phase reclaimed. Phase 4 will become a staging area for operations on BLM property <br /> and topsoil stockpile site for Phase 4 and 5. Phase 4 and 5 will be reclaimed after they are <br /> mined. <br /> Phase 7 will be utilized to stockpile overburden and topsoils to be used on the reclamation <br /> of Phase 6 and some of Phase 5. Phase 7 will be reclaimed after the stored topsoil has been <br /> removed. These stockpiles will be seeded to prevent erosion. <br /> All slopes will be left to a 3:1 (horizontal to vertical) slope unless they are solid rock or <br /> detailed on the reclamation plan. <br /> Topsoil on the site is intermittent, ranging from 0— 3 inches, with no uniformity across the <br /> site. Overburden is also intermittent, ranging up to 12 inches. Topsoil and overburden are <br /> coincidental over most of the site. We propose to salvage all topsoil and overburden and <br /> replace 100% of this combined, salvaged material back o the areas of the mined site that are <br /> not impervious rock. <br /> Seeding, fertilization and mulching will occur at rates and criteria recommended by the <br /> National Resource Conservation Service. Forbs and shrubseeds will be added to the <br /> reclamation mix. If the seeding method is to be broadcast,the application rate will be twice the <br /> rate required for seed drilling. <br /> There are no live streams or bodies of water on the site. Sediment control will be <br /> established during the reclamation process by means of the detention pond and the straw bale <br /> filtration barriers at its inlet. <br /> I <br />
