This site will be prepared for seeding with the above information as a guideline <br />and with the NRCS suggestions given with the grass-seeding plan dated 12/99 by <br />Mr. Tony Arnhold. The seedbed will be firm and weed free the method of seeding <br />will be by drill with the drill spacing of 8 inches type grass planting depth 1/4-1/2 <br />inch. No fertilizer, straw or grass mulch (certified weed free) at a rate of 2000 <br />pounds per acre applied by broadcasting and anchored by crimping to a depth of 2 <br />inches. The seeding rate will be doubled if the seed is broadcast. <br />16.) The salvaged topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with western wheatgrass at <br />a broadcast rate of 9 pounds per acre to prevent wind and stormwater erosion. <br />The stockpiles will be inactive for long periods of time until used <br />for reclamation. Therefore the reason for establishment of vegetation. <br />17.) The access road will remain after active mining concludes for the landowner. <br />This access will allow the landowner to use the rangeland for <br />ranching activities. The remaining road will be 30 feet wide by 610 feet long. <br />18.) The grass seeding plan as prepared by Mr. Tony Amhold planner for the <br />NRCS did not recommend fertilizer for this project. No fertilizer will be <br />used per his recommended grass-seeding plan. <br />Rule 6.4.6 Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan Map <br />19.) The maximum depth of the pit will be approximately 25 feet from the <br />original surface grade elevation. The pit highwall will be reduced to a slope of <br />3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter to facilitate the post mining use as rangeland. <br />The revised Reclamation Plan Map now shows the expected physical <br />appearance of the affected land after the site has been reclaimed. <br />20.) All of the affected land on site will be reclaimed has rangeland no other use <br />is planned on this mine site. The entire affect areas will be reclaimed as <br />rangeland. <br />Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G- Water Information <br />21.) Surface water (stormwater) will be controlled by small earthen berms and <br />swales that the mine operator will initiate as Best Management Practices <br />(BMP'S) for the STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN. Part of the BMP's <br />control measures will be to direct the stormwater into the excavated portion of <br />the pit and have it flow to the western end for detention. The stormwater will be <br />held in the detention pond area for no more than 72 hours, as it will percolate <br />into the bottom of the pond and into the sidewalls of the pit. As stated previously <br />the detention pond will be designed and constructed to hold the stormwater for a <br />period of no longer than 72 hours and will use the natural conditions on site to <br />percolate the stormwater into the pit floor and sidewalls. <br />5
