EXHIBIT D <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Grasser Construction & Paving, LLC (Applicant) Stewart Pit II <br />1. <br />A. As mining completes a stage and we have to strip another part of the permit area, we will take <br />strippings and place them on the part that was finished with mining. Therefore, reclamation will be an <br />ongoing process as we mine instead of waiting until pit is completed. <br />B. All slopes will be a 4 to 1 or less. <br />C. The site will be planted back to grass. It is a pasture now and will be put back as pasture land <br />for its future use. Seeding will be done when a large enough area is done to justify a seeding company <br />to come out. The ground, if compacted, will be chiseled and disked to eliminate compacted ground. <br />Compost will be spread over reclamation area if needed. We will use a disk till to plant grass seed. <br />We will use a Blue Grama and Western Wheat Grass with Buffalo grass being the majority. Seeding <br />ratio will be 25 lbs per acre. <br />D. There will be no ponds, streams, or buildings left to remain after reclamation. If land owner <br />wants, we will leave the entrance to the land. <br />E. There will be no waste rock, underground mine openings or buildings left to create any <br />hydrologic imbalances. <br />2. The maximum number of acres to be disturbed would be 9 acres. Topsoil and overburden run <br />an average of 18". 9 acres of 18" overburden equals 21,780 cubic yards. To re-spread over permitted <br />area with haul distances of 1200' or less, cost per cubic yard would be $1.45. Cost to re-spread <br />overburden and topsoil would be $31,581.00. To seed, fertilize, and crimp would be $1,800.00 per <br />acre. This total would equal to $16,200.00. To rip and disk access road and seed, fertilize, and crimp <br />and add topsoil to access road the cost would be $600.00. To remove the culvert from access road the <br />cost would be $300.00. The total cost with re-spreading of topsoil and overburden and seeding would <br />be $48,681.00.
