EXHIBIT D -Reclamation Plan (6.3.4) <br />(1) As discussed in the attached Exhibit C -Mining Plan, this operation is primarily a <br />road cut project. The landowner expressly wishes to have access to the upper portion of <br />his property. To accomplish this access, rock will be extracted and removed from the <br />subject property. The end result of the project is the existence a roadway allowing the <br />desired access. Reclamation in the sense of a mining operation is not totally applicable <br />in this case. The typical final road cut configuration is shown on Exhibit E. The <br />following plan addresses the reclamation of the lower portion of the property where <br />processing, staging and loading activities will occur. <br />(a) Once the road cut is completed to the top of the valley wall, reclamation of <br />the lower portion will take place. The amount of available overburden <br />removed from this section will be replaced in accordance with the <br />landowner's wishes. <br />(b) The maximum gradient of the reclaimed section will be a 3:1 slope ratio of <br />the upslope and downslope features. (The road cut slopes are proposed not to <br />exceed .25:1 as shown on Exhibit E) <br />(c) As discussed eazlier, the lower section of the site presents little in the way of <br />plant growth medium. The existing soils are thin and sandy. <br />(i) It is proposed to replace plant growth medium in this area at a depth of <br />6 inches. <br />(ii) This section will be seeded at the point the road cut is complete. The <br />seedbed will be disced. Soil amendment will be assessed based on the <br />composite analysis of the medium present at the cessation of the <br />project. <br />(iii} The seed mix proposed for the lower section of the site is as follows: <br />Hycrest Crested Wheatgrass 15% <br />Smooth Brome 25% <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass 25% <br />Orchardgrass (Paiute) 20% <br />Russian Wildrye 10% <br />Annual Rye 5% <br />The recommended rate of seeding for the above is 12-15 ]bs PLS/acre. <br />(iv) The drilled placement method is proposed. <br />(v) The application of mulch is not anticipated. <br />(vi) N/A <br />(d) The entrance and excavated access road will remain. <br />~^ .-n~ pr""I^l1 <br />1 _-^ '~ <br />(e) N/A E' i ~ ~ 2~~~ <br />• a~c;~mation, <br />,,,,, ~„~g acd Safety <br />
