May Day and Idaho Mine Complex 112 (d) Permit Application <br />Phase 5 - Production Expansion may extend beyond the proposed time period in which case appropriate <br />permit extensions will be applied for by Wildcat. All above ground expansion activities will be reclaimed <br />upon abandonment of each expansion area as appropriate. Reclamation closure activities will commence <br />at the end of the life-of-mine. Grading, seeding, and planting activities will commence as soon after ab- <br />andonment or closure as season and weather permits (i.e., snow and frost free periods). <br />Table E-1.

Surface disturbances are limited to the operational areas (depicted on Figure C-4 in Exhibit Q. <br />These individual operational areas are restricted to less than 1.0 acre, and are anticipated to be life of mine <br />and therefore will be reclaimed during final closure. Locations of the facilities and structures detailed <br />below are identified and located in Figure C-4. <br />Phase I - Preliminary Construction and Reclamation Activities <br />• Access Road Construction <br />Primary access road in permit area is immediately off of County Road 124. This road base area is <br />approximately 50 feet wide along a 1,900 foot length (1.8 acres). Road reclamation closure activ- <br />ities are identified below. The road construction work plan is summarized in Attachment 6.5-3 <br />• Grading of Existing Access Roads <br />Pre-existing access roads within the 50 foot corridor will be graded and reseeded. The 50 foot <br />wide corridor is approximately 8,300 feet in length (9.5 acres). These roads are permanent and <br />will not be reclaimed. <br />• May Day No. 2 Bench - Run of Mine Rock Storage <br />This bench area is approximately 0.5 acre and is within the May Day No. 2 Operational Area. <br />The rock storage site will be designed and reclaimed in accordance with the criteria presented in <br />Exhibit 6.5 <br />• Installation of Stormwater Best Management Practice Structures <br />Stormwater control structures will be installed as outlined in Exhibit T <br />• Repair of May Day No. 1 does not require interim reclamation. <br />May Day Idaho Mine Complex 112(d) Permit Application <br />September 21, 2010 (REVISED Oct. 22, 2010) <br />18
