d) The pre-existing one lane road to the pit will be left existing when reclamation is done. <br />e) Waste rock piles will be hauled for use in county ditches, etc. where needed for fill material. This operation will use <br />berms to minimize hydrologic balance and provide for a stable configuration consistent with the proposed future <br />land use. <br />f) The post mine land use is expected to be rangeland due to the topopgraphy being too rough for farming <br />g)To the extent that overburden below the topsoil exists and is stockpiled, that portion will be spread evenly <br />across the area being reclaimed. The topsoil berm will be spread at least 6 inches over the entire area <br />being reclaimed, including pit floor. <br />g) We expect to have to fence off the immediate area which is being reclaimed keep livestock from spoiling <br />The growth of new vegetative cover <br />h) After having mined an area of approximately 10 acres, we will then start reclaiming area by splitting <br />roughly half of the mined area off and replacing overburden and topsoil then fertilizing, seeding, then <br />fencing the area off for protection if livestock threatens the new growth . As we mine more area, we will <br />reclaim in 5 acre increments, thereby having no more than 20 acres disturbed at any one time.
