The reclamation work twill begin by reshaping and contouring the
pit area to conform as closely as possible with adjacent lands and
natural surroundings. This work will be done with a dozer and will leave
the area with adequate drainage and no bank which exceeds a slope of
5:1 horizontal to vertical. The maximum anticipated depth of the pit
after mining is twenty-five (25) feet. No haul roads exist within the
lease tract.
Topsoil will he hauled to the site and spread over the affected
area to an approximate dept} of Eour (4) inches. This work will be
done using dozers and a uniform seedbed will be prepared. A.11 disturbed
areas will be seeded, using a grass drill, at a rate of 8 pounds per acre,
~~iith a mixture of 80% western wheatgrass and _°0% annual rye grass.
