<br />EXHIBIT D <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />A. Overburden will be replaced when there is a sufficient area affected (3-5 acres) and it <br />will not disrupt mining operations. (See Mining Map) <br />B. Ma~drr-um gradient of reclaimed slopes will be 3H:1V per Natural Resources <br />Conservation Service recommendation. <br />C. (1) All stockpiled overburden and topsoil will be used exclusively for reclamation. <br />(2) Pi[ will be seeded during the last year of operation. (See Item 'A'). Seedbed <br />should be well settled and firm, but not friable for seed replacement. <br />(3) The Natural Resources Conservation Service has recortunended the following seed <br />mixture: <br />SEED MIXTURE FOR RECLAMATION OF DISTURBED AREAS AT THE <br />LOGAN COUNTY LANDFILL <br />COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME % PLS/DRILL <br />Thickspike wheatgrass Agropyron dosystachum ) ~ 2.5~ <br />Sand bluestem Andropogai hallii 2~ 5.~~ <br />Little bluestem Schizadtyriwn scopnrium 2~ 5.~~ <br />Prairie sandreed Calomovi[ja longijoiio 25 6.25 <br />Blue grams Bouteloua graciiis 15 3.75 <br />Yellow indiangrass Sorg{usstrum nutmu ] ~ 2.5~ <br />D. Grading and Seedbed Preparation. Final cover will be placed as described previously <br />and graded to meet the final contours. The finished slopes at the site will be 3:1 or flatter. <br />Upon completion of the grading, there will be no flat areas or depressions which could <br />potentially collect surface water drainage. A minimum of 5 inches of soil, capable of <br />sustaining the specified vegetation, as well as a minimum of 18 inches of rooting and frost <br />protection material will be placed prior to the anticipated seeding operations. Any <br />compacted areas will be roughened prior to placement of the growth layer to allow <br />adequate binding with the underlying soil. <br />The seedbed will be well settled and firm, but friable enough that seed can be placed at <br />depths of '/a to ~'a inch. The seedbed will be free of weeds. Soils that have been <br />compacted by traffic or equipment will be tilled to break up layers that could restrict <br />rooting depth. These tilled aeeas will then be slightly compacted to provide a firm seed <br />bed. The ideal firmness is achieved when a 0.5-inch boot print remains after walking <br />
