<br />(Revised 3/22/94) <br />EXHIBIT D - Reclamation Plan (continued) <br />West End Gravel Company <br />Page -2- <br />end of the growing season, the white clover crop will be plowed <br />back into the soil as a soil builder and mulch material. During <br />the next spring growing season, the following mixture of range <br />grasses will be drilled into the prepared seed bed: <br />(2 parts) 4.0 lbs./acre, Western Wheatgrass <br />(1 part) 2.0 lbs./acre, Indian Rice Grass <br />(.2 parts) 0.4 lbs./acre, Blue Gama Grass <br />(6 parts) 12.0 lbs./acre, Buffalo Grass <br />No irrigation of the reclaimed area planned during the mining <br />and reclamation process. <br />The vegetation of both the white clover crop and the grass <br />mixture will be far more dense and useful than the vegetation <br />of the site prior to disturbance and of the vegetation <br />surrounding the area. <br />The seed bed will be prepared by disking to a depth of <br />six inches (6"). An English harrow will be used to prepare <br />the final seed bed, The seed will be planted by a drill to <br />ensure proper depth of planting. No mulch will be needed after <br />seed planting. <br />4. No roads, ponds, buildings or equipment will remain <br />after reclamation. The entire area will be returned to a far <br />greater productive rangeland environment. The mobile crushing <br />plant will be removed and the road on the site will be reclaimed <br />with topsoil and seeded as proposed for the disturbed areas. <br />5. No waste rock dumps, tailings impoundments, ditches <br />or ponds will be created by the mining operation. <br />6. The cost to reclaim the maximum disturbed area is <br />estimated to be Two Thousand Two Hundred Seventy Dollars <br />($2,270.00). <br />
