<br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> <br />EXHIBIT "D" <br />(aj When and what depth overburden will re replaced in relation to extraction. <br />There is a layer of sandy clay loam 1' - 4' in depth immediately below the topsoil that could be called <br />overburden. However, in this instance, this material will be mixed with the aggregate below to aid <br />in compaction of the non-specification road base. Therefore there will be no overburden.stockpiles. <br />(b) Maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes (horizontaUvertical). <br />Reclaimed backslopes on the north and south perimeters will be finished at 3H:1 V or flatter. <br />(c) Measures that will be taken to revegetate the site. <br />(i) Thickness of the plant growth medium to be replaced. <br />It is projected that with a topsoil range of 5" - 12"~, an average'of 10" will he replaced in reclamation I <br />If topsoil stockpiles aze to remain for more than one growing season, they will be seeded with <br />7#pls/A of Western Wheatgrass. <br />tbl~ <br />(ii) Time of seeding, seedbed preparation, type, application rate and soil incorporation <br />method of fertilizer application. <br />Fall seeding is proposed and historically has provided the best results.
