• Topsoil will be replaced on the wetland shelf and areas outside the wetland footprint. In general, <br />reclamation will consist of ripping all areas to a depth of two feet and then restoring topsoil to a depth <br />of 12" to 18", using good upper horizon material from the salvage operation. Discing of soil will then <br />take place followed by seeding and mulching the topsoiled area. Ripping will take place immediately <br />prior to retopsoiling activities. Table E-1 below shows expected amounts of topsoil and overburden <br />required for reclamation. <br />Map F shows all the final contours and reclamation planned for the site. The access road will be left <br />intact so that the landowner has access to the reclaimed areas. Map C-4 shows the cross-sections of the <br />reclaimed terrain compared with the original and the mining terrain. <br />The final land uses, as marked on Map F, are the lake, wetland fringe and wetlands shelves, and a <br />rangeland pad on the south and east sides of the disturbed area. Acreages can be seen in Table E-2. <br />The road on the perimeter used for access to the pit will remain in place in order to allow access after <br />• the site has been reclaimed. There are no foundations or other structures which will be required to be <br />removed with the reclamation process, so the only tasks will involve constructing the wetland shelf, <br />regrading, topsoiling, and seeding of the disturbed areas. The reclamation timetable is shown below in <br />Table E-3 and the worst case scenario is calculated in Exhibit L: Reclamation Costs. <br />• <br />White River City Pit, August 08 E-2
