EXHIBIT E (Cont'd) <br />is not definite at this tune; however, it is expected that <br />three areas along the east and southeast and northwest sides <br />of the lake are the most likely locations. See Map Exhibit F. <br />As outlined in the Mining Plan, the area will be mined <br />in seven stages. Each stage will last for two to four years, <br />except Stage P which will be in operation during the entire <br />life of the mine. At the conclusion of each mining stage, <br />a reclamation phase will be commenced. Map Exhibits D-1 and <br />F contain complete details and progression of mining stages <br />and reclamation phases. <br />In salvaging topsoils, reference will be made to the <br />soils map, Exhibit I-1. It is expected that approximately~~ <br />12 inches of soil will be salvageable. Approximately~8 to 12~~ <br />~- - <br />inches of topsoil will be redistributed on the areas of the <br />property to be reseeded. The available water capacity at <br />that depth will be approximately one inch and is considered <br />suitable for the species recommended, In the area of the <br />affected land, use of mulches and irrigation often creates <br />very severe weed problems. A depth of 8 to 12 inches of top- <br />soil will eliminate the need for mulching and irrigating but <br />will allow development of adapted species. (See Revegetation <br />Program later in this Exhibit E.) <br />~The_operator will attempt to complete final grading, <br />- ``~ <br />fertilizing and seeding within one year of the completion of <br />each mining stage. Planting and fertilizing will occur <br />between mid-September and late October whenever possible. <br /> <br />-15- <br />
