Reclamation calls for stabilization and cover of disturbed <br />areas in accordance with standards that will accommodate the proposed post- mining <br />use. The permit area will be reclaimed using concurrent reclamation techniques. <br />Reclamation Process <br />Reclamation will consist of establishment of contours, re- spreading and any amendment <br />of plant growth medium, seeding and planting, and management prior to release. <br />The timetable for reclamation complements the phase mining plan, as noted below. In <br />general, concurrent reclamation will address final grading of mined slopes within 3 years <br />of the commencement of mining in any given area. <br />Topsoil Preservation <br />Topsoil stripped prior to mining will be stockpiled separately from overburden as specific <br />segments of screening berms around the permit boundary, or within the pit area, and will <br />be preserved by a temporary seed mix until ready for placement on the land surface for <br />reclamation. <br />Final Grading <br />Final proposed contours in mined areas are shown on the Reclamation Plan Map <br />(Exhibit F). In general, contours in mined areas will, conforming to Rule 3.1.5(7), <br />descend at 3H:1V from the top of slope to groundwater at approximately 5 feet and then <br />at 3:1 for an additional 10 feet below the groundwater level. Slopes of 2H:1V will be <br />Debeque Sand and Gravel Resource <br />Oldcastle Southwest Group, Inc. 11 <br />11019 <br />November 2011 <br />
