EXHIBIT D- RECLAMATION PLAN <br />1. Soil will be replaced to approximately V-10" in depth as the quarry areas are depleted or no <br />longer used. It will be seeded when it is known that no machinery will be driving on those areas <br />to be reclaimed. <br />2. The gradient of reclaimed slopes will be 3:1 or less. If steeper slopes are required then the <br />slopes will be stepped into terraces to accomplish the desired stability for the vegetation. The <br />slopes are expected to follow the general slope of the existing lands. <br />3. All salvageable soil will be kept and incorporated into to work deck or used to replace deplete <br />quarry areas for reclamation purposes or put into soil stock pile as shown on map. Soil Stock <br />Pile, if left for more than a 3 month period, will be stabilized with a vegetation cover. <br />4. The following measures will be taken to re-vegetate the site as they are applicable. <br />(a) The thickness of the plant growth should be equal to or better than the surrounding growth <br />to establish the quantity and quality desired. ( See Exhibit B Custom Soils report for Larimer <br />County Area, Colorado Meadow Hollow Quarry) <br />(b) The site will be seeded on an on-going reclamation program. Top soil will be replaced and <br />seeded as it is determined that an area is depleted and it will not be disturbed by <br />machinery. Seeding will be done in the spring and late fall. Top soil will be spread onto the <br />reclamation site; top soil will be spread carefully to allow oxygen in and to prevent <br />compaction. <br />(c) See Soil resource report in Exhibit B for types and amount of PLS/acre. <br />(d) The seed will be applied by hand broadcast. <br />(e) Trees will be replaced at 48 seedling per acre. <br />S. Trees will be place randomly or in a natural pattern over the reclamation area at the rate of 48 <br />seedling per acre. The trees will be planted by hand and watered for until they become <br />established. <br />6. There are no ponds, streams, or buildings in the permit area. <br />7. The existing roads will remain as they provide access to the land surrounding the permit area <br />and were constructed for that purpose. <br />8. The quarry access roads will remain in place at the time of reclamation. <br />9. The waste rock and tailings will be incorporated into the reclamation areas of the depleted <br />quarries. They also may be sold as rip rap, or used for working decks for future building site. The <br />area will be seeded into pasture until the building site would be needed. <br />10. There are no water resources within the proposed 110 Limited Impact Permit area. There is a <br />small pond and perennial creek approximately 225', at its closest, down slope from the <br />proposed 110 Limited Impact Permit area The work deck is porous and historically absorbed all <br />run-off. Two strategically placed detention ponds will be constructed to collect any sediment so
