Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />The 5 to 10 inches of loam topsoil can be stockpiled separately <br />from the pink-white subsoil. This will require double handling of the <br />material in the first phase of the mining. After an area has been completely <br />mined, 2 feet of the overburden will be taken off the next area to be mined <br />and placed directly on the pit floor. <br />B. Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />1. Straw mulch will be applied and mechanically crimped into <br />the soil on disturbed areas to be seeded. <br />2. The tract of land in which the gravel pit lies is presently <br />fenced. Arrangements will have to be made with the landowner to keep <br />livestock out of the area until the vegetation is established. <br />3. Either shadscale salt or big sagebrush will be added to the <br />seed mixture, whichever is most readily available. How many pounds per <br />acre of these species do you recommend using? <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
