4. A total of no more than 12 acres of quarry will be exposed at any one time throughout the life of this quarry. This 12 acres exposure occurs only at year 13. Normal disturbed area for the Weaver Quarry will be 5 acres. Future stockpiling will be done in the pit to minimize visibility from the surrounding area. As shown on the mine plan map, the quarry will advance in a northerly direction until it reaches the quarry boundary- Then the quarry will progress south until it reaches the final southern boundary. 5. Reclamation of the Weaver quarry will proceed directly behind the advancing quarry. The overburden stripped from the current years mining will be used on the previous years mining area for grading and providing a topsoil substitute- Highwalla on the north, west, and south will be reduced to a 2 to 1 elope by reclamation blasting and covered with 6"-10" of topsoil substitute and then by topsoil that has been previously stockpiled. 6. Seeding of the reclaimed area will be done by hydro-seeding. Seed mixtures, fertilization rates. and any other recommended additives by the SCS will be followed. The application rate of mountain mahogany may be increased to ensure a proper distribution of this species on the reclaimed areas- The success of this species is very important to the visual impact of the reclaimed area blending in with the natural surrounding area. 7. Mulching of the newly seeded areas will be done by hydro-mulching and the use of a tackifier at a rate of 3 tons of grass hay per acre. B. The reclaimed quarry area will be compatible with the surrounding area and will be usable as marginal rangeland that should be capable of supporting at least the same quantity and quality of vegetation. 9. The access road from the existing ranch road on the Weaver Ranch property will remain as an accese road to the Pete Lien & Sona, Inc. property. Pete Lien & Sons Inc- has an easement for access to this property.
