S~ <br />(• <br />~~ <br />RnCLAMATION PLAN <br />They pre-mining plan map shows the various trees located <br />in Phase II and the one tree, located in Phase VI, that <br />are: to be removed. There are no other trees within the <br />mining area. The majority of this property is in low <br />yield cultivated crops and the balance is grazing land. <br />Rec;lamation will begin during Phase I by contouring the <br />land, prior to completion of the mining in this area. <br />On the up stream, (low water level) side of the lakes, <br />islands and shallows will be constructed. This marshy <br />area is expected to produce good wild fowl habitat. <br />Slopes will range from 2:1 to 4:1, the average being 3:1. <br />However, the steepest slopes from 2' above the normal <br />high water elevation to 10' below high water, will be 3: 1. <br />The stockpiled top soil will then be placed 12" thick on <br />the final contours. <br />'t'ree and shrub species will be selected and planted as <br />soon as the final configuration of the lake is determined <br />and the permanent ground water elevation is established. <br />i. concentration of 6 trees and 10 shrubs for each acre <br />of disturbed land will be the minimum planted, followed <br />oy grass seeding. (See Dep:art~ent of Agricultural Soil <br />Conservation Service recommendations). <br />Tha above mentioned method of reclamation will be <br />adti~=_red to for each consecui:ive phase. <br />Maintainence of the reclaimed areas will continue for <br />3 y~aars to assure firmly established vegetation. <br /> <br />
