d. As discussed in c. above, overburden and top soil will
be separately stockpiled in designated areas. The individual
piles will be stabilized and seeded. We plan to broadcast the
SCS recommended seed mix on the newly developed or moved
overburden and top soil stockpiles. We will do the seeding in
the late fall as recommended. Revegetation of the finished
slopes will be done using the recommended SCS seed mix. We will
seed the finished slopes in the fall using a seed drill. The
newly seeded areas will be mulched with a grass hay.
e. As discussed earlier, we plan to construct the reclaimed
slopes during the mining phases. During each mining phase, a
portion of the reclamation will be completed. At a minimum, this
will involve building the final slopes. Since it is difficult to
estimate the demand for processed material estimating the size of
the mining effort is too. Therefore, when an area of at least 5
acres is reclaimed to the point of the slopes being built, we
will place the overburden and top soil on the slopes. Doing the
reclamation in this manner will limit disturbance of the
stockpiled overburden and top soil. Overburden and top soil will
be placed as discussed earlier. We will seed the newly top
soiled slopes as discussed in d. above.
f. Summary of reclamation efforts.
• (i) The maximum anticipated slope will be 2:1.
(ii) Seeding will comply with the SCS recommendation
as included in Exhibit I.
(iii) Fertilizer will be used during final seeding in
accordance with the SCS recommendation.
(iv) Revegetation is limited to seeding only. The
natural, undisturbed areas are treeless.
(v) Overburden will be placed at depths of 1-2 feet.
Top soil will be placed at depths of 4-8 inches.
