Areas 1 end 2 are to be reclaimed as ponds. Sidealopes on the ponds, sad all areas to be reclaimed,will be held 4o a maximum of 3H:1V to 10 lest below the waterline end a maximum of 2H:1 V below that depth. Areas above the waterline will be covered with a minimum of 6° of topsoil. The banks of the ponds will be reseeded down to the waterline. Areas to be seeded, will be disked and raked using coaveational farming implements. The seed will be distributed by broadcasting, therefore the seeding rate below will be doubled. The following seed mixture, which was recommended by the local Sail Conservation Service ofitce will be used: Thicksptke wheatgrass (Crltana) 5.5• PLS/Ac. Side-oats grams (Vaughn) 2.25• PLS/Ac. Switchgrass (Nebr. 28) 1.125• PLS/Ac. 8.875• PLS/Ac. At the request of the property owner, overburden and topsoil will be spread along the western perimeter of 4he owners property in the arse indicated on Exhibit °E°. Grading in this area will direct drainage generally to the northeast. The slope will be less than 5~. There will be a minmum of 6° of topsoil spread over the entire fill area. This area will be reseeded with the above seed mixture and methods, unless the owner decides to plant a crop. All areas to be reseeded will be fertilised with a 18-46-0 Diammonium Phosphate mixture at a rate of 100 pounds per aces. After the seed mixture ie well established, the Owner will evaluate the need for weed oonuol. If weed oflnuoi is necessary, the Owner will oonuact with as established weed onnuol service to neat the weeds. Care will be taken in spraying for weeds near the ponds to prevent contamination ~ the water. A minimum of 30 5ouixland 1?opulars ("seedless cottonwoods") wlll be planted to enhance the ®vildlite habitat around the perimeter of the ponds. Approximately 12.7 acres will be reclaimed. Approximately 10.1 acres of this total may be planted es a crop by the owner, in which case only 2.6 acres will need to be reseeded. The rest of the area will be in either ponds or will not have been disturbed by the mining oparetions. Surface acreage and depths of the ponds are shown on Exhibit °F'.
