Reclamation Plan: <br />Erosion control during and after mining: Depending on the specific site of the pit, a diversion <br />dike may be needed on the upper side to convey surface storm runoff from a large block of <br />loamy/sandy soils above the pit to a safe disposal site. Where it is possible the A and B horizons <br />of the soil profile will be removed and stockpiled separately by horizon for replacement in the <br />borrow area in the natural sequence when mining operations cease. These stockpiles will be <br />revegetated to protect the area from both wind and water erosion during the mining operations. <br />Seed mix and operations listed in the revegetation portion of this plan will be followed. <br />As mining is completed the side slopes will be flatter then 3:1. Slopes of 4:1 or flatter are much <br />more desirable for greater success in re-establishment of vegetation and operation of equipment. <br />Length of slope will be properly controlled to prevent erosion. Topsoil will be applied after <br />shaping and tilled to a depth of 6 inches, binding topsoil to existing soil. <br />The Northern area ispre-law and will not be disturbed. <br />
