y &CLAMATION PLAN—Bellino Pit George Reed, Inc. Page 7 III. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RECLAMATION (continued) F. Disposition of Old Equipment No permanent structures or buildings are involved in this project. All equipment to be used at the project site is portable and easily removed from the site upon completion of excavation and reclamation. G. Reveeetation An abundance of topsoil is available for reclamation purposes. After excavation activities cease, the replaced topsoil and roads (or other compacted areas) are ripped and leveled in preparation for planting. Almond trees are usually planted by hand in the early spring of the year, as weather conditions allow. Soil amendments, fertilizer, etc., are placed at the discretion of the Farm Contractor in charge of farming operations. Irrigation water for the existing and future orchard is provided by a private well. H. Monitorine and Maintenance Almond trees require land preparation prior to planting as well as constant maintenance and monitoring by the Owner and Farm Contractor. To ensure successful planting, the orchard will be maintained by the Farm Contractor regularly. If a tree failure occurs it will be replanted. Using the services of a qualified Farm Contractor, the Owner/Operator has successfully reclaimed :320 acres of mined lands back to almond&walnut orchards. I. In-Stream Minine In-stream mining does not apply to this project. J. Future Minine This project will deplete existing mineral resources within the project area. It will not preclude future mining on lands adjacent to or near the project area. K Public Safety Truck crossing signs are currently posted on River Road approximately 500 feet east and west of the entrance to the processing facility. River Road is double-lined from Harrold Avenue to the facility entrance. Additional measures and/or recommendations can be incorporated if deemed necessary. L.
