October Ore Pile Reclamation Exhibit D <br />110(d) Limited Impact Permit Application <br />Nuvemco LLC <br />6.3.4 Exhibit D - Reclamation Plan <br />6.3.4 (1) (a) Overburden replaced (amended) <br />No overburden will be displaced or replaced. Very thin soils of the Bodot-Sili- <br />Rock outcrop complex are found at the ore pile site. Alternative 1 will be to scarify the <br />underlying soil and rock after the October Ore Pile is removed, and then reseed. Should <br />the re-vegetation not be successful after a reasonable time period, the Nuvemco <br />operator will cover the ore pile site with silty soil removed from a location along John <br />Brown Canyon as previously described. <br />6.3.4 (1) (b) Maximum gradient of restored slopes <br />As shown on Exhibit D, Map 3 (next page) the area will be graded to the original <br />contour with a maximum slope of about 6 percent. <br />6.3.4 (1) (c) Measures to be taken for re-vegetation of the site (amended) <br />Reclamation of the ore stockpile will be required. This area is approximately one <br />third of an acre (.35) in size (see maps). The truck turn-around location west of the Ore <br />Pile will add about 0.11 acres to the disturbed area for a total disturbed area of 0.46 <br />acres, and be reclaimed similarly. The October Ore Pile is located on a rock shelf, so <br />there is limited topsoil to salvage. The only equipment needed will be a loader with a <br />bucket to prep the area, and an ATV to pull a portable broadcast seeder to distribute the <br />seed mixture. The area will covered with a silty soil provided by the BLM which will be <br />seeded with the following recommended seed mixture approved by the Bureau of Land <br />Management: <br />SPECIES <br />Arriba Western wheat grass <br />Primar Slender wheat grass <br />Luna Pubescent wheat grass <br />Nordan Crested wheat grass <br />Paloma Indian rice grass <br />Needle and Thread grass <br />Hachita Blue Grama <br />Lewis Flax <br />Cedar Palmer Penstemon <br />Lutana Cicer Milk Vetch <br />Rincon or Native Four Wing Salt Brush <br />APPLICATION RATE/LBS/ACRE PLS <br />PLS/acre Total <br />2.7 <br />2.0 <br />3.0 <br />1.5 <br />2.1 <br />2.4 <br />0.4 <br />0.8 <br />0.2 <br />0.3 <br />3.0 <br />18.4 lbs. <br />Seed tags shall be submitted to the Bureau upon completion of the seeding.
