RECLAMATION PLAN
Reclamation - After the gravel has been removed, all disturbed areas will
be reclaimed to a natural state. Slopes will be graded and shaped not to
exceed a slope ratio of 3:1. Any growing medium encountered during
mining will be stockpiled as outlined in the enclosed Exhibit "D".
Protection of areas having slopes greater than 25% will consist of
application of an asphalt emulsion- based tackifier at the rate of Z00#
per acre. Existing stockpiled topsoil from the site will be spread over
the mining area to an approximate depth of 4 inches after overburden is
placed to a minimum of twelve inches over underlying shale. Revegetation
of all disturbed areas will be accomplished by hydro-seeding. Spray
hydro mulch will consist of nitrogen stabilized virgin wood fiber,
applied hydraulically at the rate of one ton per acre to all reclaimed
areas. The seed bed will be prepared by disc harrowing prior to
revegetation. If the revegetation effort is not successful, the
reclamation process will be pursued until success occurs as planned.
The following vegetation will be applied:

Seeds will be ragdq~q)~t_
scattered with grass planting
~ at the rate of two pounds of
pure live shrub seed divided
equally between the three
species.
The site is treeless and therefore no trees will be planted.
The above species were selected far planting from the SCS critical area
planting guide for their ease of establishment, rate of spread, and
saltidrought tolerance.
The seeding will be attempted in late fall through early winter, yet
immediately before the first predicted frost.
