Exhibit C - Pre-mining and Mining Plan Map of Affected Lands <br />A current map denoting existing topography with contour lines as prepared in <br />cooperation with the Bent County Conservation Service is included herewith. <br />6.4.4 Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />Mining in the area will not be intermittent; if the original Exhibit D as submitted <br />with the application denoted this impression it was incorrect. Mining, once <br />commenced, will be on a continual basis. <br />6.4.5 Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />It is not anticipated that any reclamation of this pit will take place until after all <br />available materials have been mined. At the commencement of this process all <br />removed topsoil will be initially utilized and seeding of the area will begin as <br />based on the recommendations of the Bent Soil Conservation District. All topsoil <br />will be protected and seeded as necessary if it is anticipated that the life of the <br />stockpile will be greater than 180 days. In that it is not anticipated that <br />reclamation will occur until after all materials have been mined we anticipate at <br />the outset that all topsoil will be vegetated to assure it will be in a usable <br />condition at the time reclamation does get underway. <br />Pure live seeds will be used for re-vegetation in accordance with the <br />recommendation of the Bent Soil Conservation District and will occur in early <br />spring or early fall at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds per acre. It is not intended that <br />any fertilizer will be required, however in the event it is determined that either <br />mulch or fertilizer is needed Bent County will be using manure and straw. <br />As indicated mining will not be intermittent; the time required for reclamation will <br />be contingent upon on the availability of moisture. <br />The seedbed will be prepared by utilizing 4-6 inches of the salvaged topsoil and <br />seeding as required. The area will be disked and drilled. <br />Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map <br />Please see the attached Exhibit F reclamation plan map. Reclamation sloping <br />will be on the ratio of 3-1 from the exterior inward from all sides of the permitted <br />area. <br />Exhibit J - Vegetation Information <br />Blue Grama is the present plant community found on the site and it is of <br />approximate 2-3 inches in height. Information is enclosed as provided by the <br />local NRCS office. <br />2
