RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> George Reed, Inc. <br /> Page Five <br /> G. Contaminants: There are no potential contaminants applicable to this project. <br /> H. Waste Water: Waste water or possible contaminants do not apply to this project. <br /> 1. Water Impoundments and Diversions: Impoundment or diversion structures will <br /> not be constructed within the project area. <br /> J. Ore Processing: All materials will be processed at the existing processing plant <br /> operating under a separate permit. This project will not increase production at the <br /> processing plant. <br /> K. In-stream Mining: In-stream mining does not apply to this project. <br /> K. Other Information: This project would allow operator to continue sand and gravel <br /> extraction in an area which has had mining activity for the past 9 years. The <br /> processing plant has been permitted for the past 20 years. There will be no <br /> substantial change from the daily operations as they currently exist. <br /> III. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RECLAMATION: <br /> A. Subsequent Use(s): All disturbed land will be reclaimed back to farming capability; <br /> proposed to be walnut orchards with solid set sprinklers for irrigation. All property <br /> owners of possessory interest have been provided a copy of the proposed project and <br /> reclamation plan. <br /> B. Reclamation Schedule: Project is designed in two phases. Reclamation is <br /> is continuous and concurrent with mining. Orchard will be planted in 20 +/-acre <br /> increments as excavation allows. All phases will be totally reclaimed within two <br /> years after mining ceases. Phases are shown on the Reclamation Site Plan attached. <br /> C. Post Mining Topography: Post reclamation topography, benches, roads, cross <br /> sections through slopes, cuts, fills,original ground,post-mining surface, geologic <br /> conditions, reclaimed surface and other pertinent features are shown on the <br /> Reclamation Site Plan attached. Slopes will not exceed 2:1 and stabilization should <br /> not be a problem. Slopes can be seeded for erosion control. <br /> D. Impoundments: No impoundments are proposed for this project. <br />
