<br />Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan: <br /> <br />A reclamation plan for this nunc has been prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. This <br />plan specifies seeding, timing, etc. Additional information specific to this mining and reclamation <br />operation is shown on the Reclamation Map. <br />The mining progression is planned [o allow reclamation of slopes as the quarry enlarges. The earthwork <br />needed to achieve the reclamation will involve construction of sliver fills along the walls. Shale waste <br />rcxk will he used to till out [he tce of the slope. The stored or recently stripped topsoil will be spread <br />over the graded slopes and this area seeded. The intent is to have a minimum of 6 inches of topsoil in all <br />areas. The exact amount of shale available will not be known until the quarry is developed. Shale will be <br />used fur sliver tills and also spread over the slopes under the topsoil. <br />The estimated cost of reclamation per acre is as follows: <br />Sliver fills and shale spreading 1500 c.y. per acre @ $1.00 per c.y. _ $1500/acre <br />Topsoil application 900 c.y. per acre @ $3.00 per c.y. _ $2700/acre <br />Seeding and lertiliier Per SCS Recommendations - $1000 per acre = $1000/acre <br />Contingency Unforeseen vests - $500 per acre = $ 500/acre <br />Total reclamation cost per acre $57(10. At any given time there should be no more than3 acres of area <br />waiting to he reclaimed. The maximum estimated final reclamation cost is $5700 per acre x 3 acres = <br />$17, I I10. <br />The final reclamation of the site will return it to range land. Slopes will be graded and seeded. A berm <br />will he left in between [he arroyo and the quarry site. Permanent storm water catchments on the <br />reclaimed yuarry Floor will help retain moisture and collect sediment. There are no plans [o remove the <br />access road ut the completion since it provides a less environmental damage than the rout up the arroyo. <br />
