' EXHIBIT D <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> OVERVIEW: The primary goal of the reclamation plan is to create <br /> a larger useful land surface for the sawmill operation. The mining <br /> ' of the gravels will accomplish that end. Slopes above the pit <br /> bottom will not be useful in the sawmill operation and therefore <br /> revegetation will be applied to those areas . In the unlikely event <br /> the sawmill operation closes before the successful revegetation of <br /> the pit slopes then the revegetation applied to the slopes would <br /> also be applied to the pit bottom, unless a subsequent owner and <br /> successor to this permit desired to use the land for other <br /> ' purposes . Otherwise, once the slopes have been successfully <br /> reclaimed the reclamation plan will be considered completed. <br /> ' SELECTED FINAL LAND USE: As stated above , the primary final land <br /> use for the reclamation will be as a sawmill operation with <br /> -, revegetated side slopes above the sawmill operation. Because the <br /> area of the slopes is so small it is unlikely it would be useful <br /> ' for grazing, but it would serve a wildlife habitat function. <br /> GRADING: Exhibit E-2 , Reclamation Plan Map, shows the approximate <br /> ' final configuration of the nd a t inin and reclamation is <br /> completed. iti `'tt1is <br /> Only the north and east sides <br /> of a site will have moderately steep slopes . Although less steep <br /> slopes might be more desirable in those areas , previous operators <br /> V mined to or very near the property boundary. This leaves little <br /> material available for slope reduction and therefore the slopes <br /> must be somewhat steeper than ideal . However, it is not expected <br /> that the gradients proposed will present severe problems . <br /> ' The grading plan over most of the site will not require much <br /> backfilling. .pyo- <br /> �- <br /> will.] y.,� `easy. 4WA :north side of.4. ; <br /> �.,. s< �Slijil.. thM W711 primarily <br /> ' a cut an .1 opera ioa o reduce the steepness of the <br /> slope. <br /> ' Refuse in the eastern portions of the permit will be removed <br /> prior to slope reduction. <br /> SPECIAL NOTE <br /> ' It needs to be pointed out that this permittee has never <br /> removed material from the east side of the operation.
