EXHIBIT D <br />CLARK PIT <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The current use of the affected land is rangeland and the reclamation plan will <br />return them to this use over time. A reclamation plan was obtained from the Natural <br />Resources Conservation Service (see attachments) and will be followed. As the azea is <br />currently used for grazing on a seasonal basis temporary fencing may be required to <br />achieve the required plant densities. <br />The sequence of each reclamation phase will be as follows: <br />1. Final grading (all slopes 3:1 or flatter) 3 to 4 days <br />2. Placement ofoverburden (1 to 2 feet) 2 to 3 days <br />3. Replacement of topsoil (4 to ]0 inches) 1 to 3 days <br />4. Discing and fertilizing (as required) 1 day <br />5. Seeding 1 to 2 days <br />6. Mulching and crimping 1 to 2 days. <br />The azea to be reclaimed will be worked by dozers, front-end loaders or motor <br />graders to achieve the required final slopes. Rippers will be used to break up any <br />compaction caused by the equipment and to seat the topsoil. The topsoil will be placed <br />using the same equipment. The topsoil will then be disced to a depth of four inches to <br />incorporate the fertilizer and prepaze the seedbed. The seed will then be drilled. Weed <br />free mulch will be applied at the rate of 2 ton per acre and will be crimped. The seeding <br />will only be done during the season recommended by the N. C. R S. <br />
