<br />Reclamation <br />Year Phase Relation to Mining_Phases and Reclamation Activities <br />Reclamation <br />4-10 Phase 3 - Mining of the Phase 3 mining area should involve 3± years. The area will be <br />Reclamation Phase 3. All backfilling, sloping, replacement of 6-12"+ topsoil, <br />and revegetation with non-irrigated grasses as outlined on page 6 should begin <br />within the phase after mining is completed within this phase. Revegetation of <br />non-irrigated grasses as outlined on page 6 should begin in the 5'" year, be <br />completed in the 8'" year, and be fully established by the 10's year. <br />7-14 Phase 4 - Mining of the Phase 4 mining area should involve 4± years. The area will be <br />Reclamation Phase 4. All backfilling, sloping, replacement of 6-12"+ topsoil, <br />and revegetation with non-irrigated grasses as outlined on page 6 should begin <br />within the phase after mining is completed within this phase. If a second slurry <br />wall is necessary to enclose this area, the area disturbed by the installation of <br />the slurry wall will be the first area reclaimed. Revegetation ofnon-irrigated <br />grasses as outlined on page 6 should begin in the 8`" year, be completed in the <br />11'" year, and be fully established by the 14'" year. <br />11-14 Phase 5 - Unless the Plant Site is continued to be operational by amendment of this <br />permit to mine property north of 104'" Avenue or other adjacent properties <br />and utilize the Plant Site to process material from these additional areas, the <br />Plant Site Area and the area utilized for wash water will be Reclamation Phase <br />5. Final sloping and replacement of6-12"'± topsoil should begin within 1 year <br />of when all mining is completed in Mining Phase 4.Disturbed areas not <br />proposed as wetiands will be revegetated with non-irrigated grasses as <br />outlined on page 6. Areas of proposed wetland areas will be revegetated in <br />accordance with recommendations to be provided by the consultant on <br />wetlands. Any areas of the Plant Site not proposed for immediate industrial <br />use after removal of the Plant Site facilities will also be revegetated with the <br />same non-irrigated grass seed mixture as outlined on page 6. Thus the final <br />reclamation area is assumed to total approximately 30 acres, which consists <br />of 25± acres of the wash plant discharge area and 5± periphery acres of.the <br />former Site Plant area. Revegetation ofnon-irrigated grasses as oultined on <br />page 6 should be undertaken in the 1 I'" year and be fully established by the <br />14's year. <br />aaayM.e ~ <br />~~ <br />3 <br />
