.: _ <br />(5) E'iCHIBTT E - Reclamation P]an <br />Sao <br />a, Reclamation proposed is seeding xith range grasses suggested by <br />the local Soil Conservation Service, Phase I xas stripped prior <br />to 1976 and had Q,~ agricultural purpose, Phase II is covered <br />xith overburden stripped from Phase I, <br />b. The surrounding area is rangeland, <br />c, Seeding to range grasses xould be more than adequate to restore <br />Phase I and Phase II to conditions as they existed in 1976, <br />d. The existing condition xas a cinder cone being mined, No <br />rr.ter is impounded, <br />e, Seed xould be broadcast during September or October with the SCS <br />recommendation of 6,6 lbs PIS Basin Wildrye, 9,6 lbs PIS Western <br />Wheatgrass, 3.0 lbs PIS Needle and Thread, and 8,4 lbs PIS <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass per acre, <br />f, (i) Seeding xould not occur until the final depth had been <br />reached, <br />(S1) Twelve acres in Phase I and ten acres in Phase II, <br />(111) Not applicable <br />g, (i) Final grade is anticipated to be approximately flat, <br />11) Seeding - see e, above <br />(111) Fertilization - not applicable <br />(iv) Revegetation - see e, above <br />(v) No topsoiling is planned, <br />(6) EXHIBIT~~- Reclamation Plan Map <br />a, See profile of cinder cone on map Exhibit C, <br />b, See profile of cinder cone on map Exhibit C, <br />(7) EXHIBIT ~~ Water Information <br />a, The cinder pit itself does not have any drainage coming into it <br />nor does it contribute to drainage in the immediate azea, The <br />site is surrounded by the railroad and there aze several sediment <br />ponds formed by the county road xhich x111 trap rater leaving the <br />site, Any rainfall on the site xould probably never leave the <br />site due to the porous nature of the cinders, There are no severe <br />erosion problems associated xlth the site, The site presently <br />does not pose any rater quality problems (erosion oriented) to <br />the surrounding azea. <br />b, The mining operation is not expected to affect surface or ground <br />rater systems, <br />c. None <br />d, Not applicable <br />e, Not applicable <br />(8) EXHIBIT t( - Wildlife Information <br />a, The status of wildlife on the volcanic cone has not changed since <br />1976 and is not expected to change xith the proposed mining p]an, <br />
