Any surplus topsoil <br />from excavation areas may be moved and stockpiled at the "old pit" areas <br />as it is available. Any topsoil stockpiles in the "old pit" will be shaped <br />and seeded with the recommended "grass seed mix" for stabilization. <br />These topsoil stockpiles will be located away from other stockpiles and <br />equipment and reserved for the "old pit" reclamation. As soon as the old <br />pit area is not needed due to expanding the mine area, concurrent <br />reclamation will be done to the areas of the "old pit" that are not part of <br />the landowner's future "post mining" ranch operations plans. <br />The applicant plans possible asphalt production operations at the site as <br />indicated in the Mine Plan.

When such asphalt processing occurs at the <br />site, such reject will be set aside (temporally isolated within an earth berm) <br />for either daily/weekly reprocessing or for final disposal offsite at the end <br />of the specific project requiring the asphalt production at the site. All <br />asphalt residues and affected soil will be removed from the site. <br />6.4.5 Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />(1)(9) As stated above: Any and all asphalt reject and/or surplus asphalt material <br />resulting from site activities will be reprocessed or removed from the site <br />to be disposed of at an appropriate facility.
