Exhibit D <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Reclamation Plan: <br />1. Overburden from continued mining will be replaced where there is sufficient area <br />affected. It will not disrupt mining operations. <br />i. Maximum gradient of slopes will be 2H:1 V. Final Reclaimed Pit. <br />Slopes minimum 311:1 V shore line to 10' below water level. Slope <br />no greater than 2H:1 V 11' below water level. Shore line gradient <br />will extend a minimum of 1' vertically above maximum water <br />surface. <br />ii. All stockpiled overburden and topsoil will be used exclusively for <br />reclamation. All topsoil placed for reclamation will be a minimum <br />of 6". <br />iii. The pit will be seeded on an on-going basis. Seedbed will be <br />worked to provide well settled and firm but friable for seep <br />replacement. Soils that have been over-compacted by equipment <br />will be tilled to break up restrictive layers, harrowed, rolled or <br />packed, to provide the required seed bed. <br />iv. Seed mixture: Please see the attached Reclamation Plan from the <br />MRCS. When topsoil is used for residential select areas will be <br />seeded at 2 pounds per acre with Kentucky Blue Grass, with all <br />other areas seeded as shown below. <br />Species #'s/AC <br />Alkali Sacaton 0.375 <br />Prairie Cordgrass 0.25 <br />Switchgrass 0.90 <br />Western Wheatgrass 3.22 <br />Big Bluestem 1.10 <br />v. Application method for non-residential areas will be by seed <br />drilling. Drill spacing will be 7"-12" with a planting depth of <br />1'/4"-1/2" inches. Application method for Kentucky Blue Grass <br />will be by broadcast seeding. <br />vi. A straw mulch will be spread and crimped into the soil at a <br />minimum rate of 2,000 pounds per acre. Mulch will stick 6" out of <br />the soil to control wind and water erosion until grass becomes <br />established. <br />vii. Trees and shrubs might be planted. <br />viii. There will be no off-site drainage. <br />ix. Anticipated reclamation costs are shown as a cost per acre. All <br />costs include labor.
