RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (CONT.) <br />RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br />Reclamation will begin once enough area has been opened so <br />that any reclamation completed will not be disturbed as mining <br />progresses. This may take five or more years depending on county <br />needs in the area and the amount of material mined. The operator <br />anticipates approximately 80% of the total mined land will be <br />reclaimed by the time mining is completed. We expect reclamation <br />to be complete on the north side slopes by the time the southern <br />area is ready for resoiling. A portion of the floor area will <br />also be complete, but the area under the plant/stockpile area <br />will still need work. Shortly after mining ends, all resoiling <br />and revegetation will be complete. The area will then be moni- <br />tored until it is released by the Division or Board. The opera- <br />tor estimates that this will happen 3 to 5 years after mining <br />ends. <br />If revegetation problems occur before release, an analysis <br />of the site will be made and the area will be revegetated again <br />as necessary. The seed mixture and rates may be revised as <br />needed to complete reclamation, if a modification is required, <br />the Division will be notified in the next annual report after the <br />change was made. This gives us the most flexibility to complete <br />reclamation successfully. <br />RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br />F--- Acres ± <br />Years Total <br />Area Revege- <br />tation Road Setbacks <br />F 3-5 38.57 36.78 0.0 1.79 <br />20
