1 • EX~SIT E (Cont'd) <br />' The operator's intention is to minimize disturbances to <br />' the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and of <br />the surrounding area and to the quality and quantity of water <br />' in surface and ground water systems during and after reclamation. <br />Valco believes it is in compliance with federal and state laws <br />' and regulations governing water and water rights. There is no <br />' application of the dredge law or siltation structure removal <br />requirement. See Exhibit G for more details on water. <br />Areas outside the boundaries of the property to be mined <br />will not be affected in any foreseeable way by slides, runoff <br />' or other functions of the mining or reclamation operations. <br />All land area of the affected land will be stabilized <br />through revegetation and grading so as to control erosion <br />' and attendant air and water pollution. <br /> The landowner-operator has elected to reclaim by creating <br /> four or five small lakes and revegetating with cover that is <br /> capable of self-regeneration and is at least equal to the <br />' <br /> extent of cover in the area prior to mining activity. The <br />' reclamation map, Exhibit F or F-1, indicates the component <br />parts of this plan. <br />' Wildlife habitat in the area should be enhanced by the <br />reclamation plan. See Exhibit H for more details. <br />' Revegetation Program. The revegetation program has been <br />' adapted from recommendations of the Soil Conservation Service <br />with only minor changes (see Exhibit I/J). <br />Fertilizer. All areas to be seeded will receive an appli- <br />cation of 100 lbs. AgriChem (NZ) (18-46-0) and 80 lbs. AgriChem <br />' (P205) (34-0-0) per acre. <br />' 16 <br />
