<br />EXHIBIT D <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Mining is anticipated to begin near the midpoint along the south line with the topsoil <br />initially being stripped from the southwest 3 acres and being placed in the southeast 1 <br />acre. It is not anticipated that any topsoil will be replaced before a minimum of 50% of <br />the site has been mined. <br />The maximum gradient for the final exterior slopes created will be 2:1 or flatter as <br />specified by the NRCS Guide Sheet (attached). When completed final surfaces have <br />been created, the topsoil will be loosely applied to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. Fertilizer <br />will be applied at a rate of 40 pounds of nitrogen and 40 pounds of phosphate per acre <br />just prior to seeding. Seeding will take place between June 15 and July I5. <br />The seed mix will be 4 pounds of Western Wheat grass, 2'/z pounds of Crested Wheat <br />grass, 2'/z pounds of Russian Wild rye, 1 pound of Yellow Sweet Clover and 3 pounds of <br />Smooth Brome per acre to be reclaimed, as per the NRCS recommendation, based on a <br />broadcast and harrowed planting method. The seeded area will be mulched with small <br />grain straw at a rate of 1500 pounds per acre. <br />Total Reclamation cost for the site is estimated to be $12,002.20 as shown on page two of <br />this Exhibit. <br />
