<br />' Exhibit D -Reclamation Plan <br />' The <br />oal of reclam <br />tion <br />ill b <br />t <br />t <br />bili <br />h <br />d <br />Th <br /> g <br />a <br />w <br />e <br />o s <br />ze an <br />a <br />secure t <br />e site. <br />e <br /> ' lack of a suitable growth medium on site and steep topography makes this <br /> the realistic and practical goal of reclamation. However, the area is <br /> t surrounded by forest and open areas, and other disturbance created by <br /> historic mining operations. And by virtue of the topographic and <br />' ecological setting, the area will ultimately be used partially as limited <br />' wildlife habitat following completion of operations. <br /> Reclamation will be implemented upon completion of mining except that <br />1 reclamation of the waste rock dump to be removed will be completed in <br /> conjunction with the plan of its extraction. The estimated life of the <br />' underground mining operation is 10 years, and possibly longer depending on <br /> the reserves of ore and market price of metals. <br />1 R <br />l <br /> ec <br />amation will consist of grading and stabilizing areas disturbed in <br />t conjunction with the mining operation and the area where removal of the <br /> waste rock dump (for processing) will occur. <br />' All refuse generated in conjunction with this operation will be hauled <br />from the site. Other old refuse such as the old mill building will remain <br />upon completion of operations. The structures on the upper mine bench <br />' (office, shed, generator building) used in conjunction with the operation <br />will be dismantled and sold for scrap, etc., and otherwise removed from the <br />t site. The generator building is set on a simple cement-footer type of <br />foundation and will be broken and buried in place. .Alternatively, the <br />' buildings (which are pre-existing) may have an alternate use desired by the <br />landowner at the time of reclamation (cabins, storage, etc.) and would thus <br />not be dismantled. <br />-19- <br />
