9. Final Reclamation Timetable <br />Because of the concurrent reclamation of the site, the final reclamation tasks will be fairly <br />limited. All of Mining Area 1 will be fully reclaimed within six months of mining termination in <br />the area. All of the earthwork, topsoiling, and dry rangeland revegetation will be completed in <br />Phases 1, 2, and 3 of Mining Area 2 during mining. The task to be completed at the end of <br />mining at the Scott Pit will be backfilling of the pit highwalls in Phase 4 of Mining Area 2, <br />topsoiling the remaining disturbed areas, revegetation of the remaining dry rangeland areas and <br />all wetland seeding/planting for Mining Area 2. The following table shows the final tasks and <br />their anticipated duration. <br />Final Reclamation Timetable <br />Task Description Duration (Months) <br />Re-grade Final Slopes of 0.25 <br />Area 2-Phase 4 <br />Topsoil Disturbed Area 0.10 <br />of Area 2-Phase 4 <br />• <br />Disc Topsoiled Areas of 0.10 <br />Area 2-Phase 4 and Wetland <br />Fringe <br />Seed and Mulch Dry 0.25 <br />Rangeland Area of Area 2-Phase 4 <br />Seed Wetland Areas of 0.25 <br />Area 2 <br />Total 0.95 <br />• <br />10. Supplemental Irrigation <br />Any dryland reclaimed areas that experience drought conditions will be watered, typically buy <br />water truck, to replicate what the average precipitation would be for a certain period. This is <br />likely to be during the summer or fall months. No excessive watering will occur, only enough to <br />mitigate drought conditions. Water for this will be provide either from the lakes or a water truck. <br />Scott Pit March 10 <br />E-10
