that are adaptable to the area. Plantings will <br />be in accordance with SCS recommendations as areas <br />are completed and reclamation occurs. <br />d. Implementation of the reclamation plan will result <br />in future use of the area through the innate values <br />of water impoundments which naturally provide a <br />source of recreation. The existing land is not <br />highly valuable for agricultural purposes as may <br />be seen by reference to Exhibit AA. The area <br />relates to existing conditions of natural vege- <br />tation, wildlife, water, air, and soil quite <br />readily as a recreational area since there is <br />minimal changes from the existing conditions to <br />the reclaimed site for recreational purposes. <br />The same vegetation can be accommodated. Any <br />wildlife in the area would have a reasonably <br />equivalent access. No less water in the area will <br />result from the change. No air pollution will <br />result and in fact with more area dedicated to <br />water, less dust should result. Surface soil <br />conditions will remain•relatively unchanged in <br />the reclaimed areas and will have equivalent <br />plant growing potentials. 1Vater impoundments are <br />described in paragraph a. of this Exhibit. <br />e. For grading, compaction, and stabilization opera- <br />tions, refer to Paragraph c-1 of this exhibit. <br />For topsoiling operations, refer to Paragraph c-4 <br />of this exhibit. For vegetation operations, refer <br />to Paragraph c-5 of this exhibit. <br />f. Timetables - Existing mining operations in east <br />half of Section 35 is established and will continue <br />until total area is permitted and operations can <br />be moved to conform•to phasing schedule as follows: <br />See mining plan for phase locations. Phase I - <br />76 acres±. This area has been partially mined and <br />reclaimed during the 1970's. The balance of the <br />mining operation is estimated to occur within the <br />next four years, with reclamation to occur as soon <br />as practical thereafter, to be completed within the <br />five year limit allowed by the Act. Grass planting <br />will occur according to schedules provided by SCS. <br />Phase II - 61 acres±. This area will be mined after <br />Phase I, and is anticipated to occur from about 1986 <br />to 1992. This phase of reclamation will begin as <br />soon as practical after mining operations are com- <br />pleted and to be completed within the five year limit <br />allowed by the Act. As with Phase I, grass planting <br />Sheet 4 of 6 <br />
