RECLAMATION PLAN—Reed-Clements Pit 2015 George Reed, Inc. Page 6 III. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RECLAMATION A. Subsequent Use(s) All disturbed land will be reclaimed back to farming capability; proposed to be walnut orchards with solid set sprinklers for irrigation. All property owners of possessory interest have been provided a copy of the proposed project and reclamation plan. B. Reclamation Schedule Project is designed in three phases. Reclamation is continuous and concurrent with mining. Orchards will be planted in ±30 acre increments as excavation allows. Each phase will be totally reclaimed within two years after mining ceases in each phase. Phases are shown on the Reclamation Plan attached. C. Post Minine Topography Post reclamation topography, drainage, benches, roads, cross sections through slopes, cuts, fills, original ground, post-mining surface, geologic conditions, reclaimed surface, and other pertinent features are shown on the attached Reclamation Plan. Slopes will not exceed 2:1, and stabilization should not be a problem. Slopes will be seeded with resident hybrid erosion control seed mix to control slope erosion prior to planting of orchard. I7. Impoundments No impoundments are proposed for this project. E. Drainage Drainage is not a problem for this project. Water is naturally absorbed in the soil and/or controlled by berms and slopes. During extreme precipitation there may be water standing in the excavated area which is simply pumped out as necessary to adjacent land near excavation. No water is pumped into or near the river. Planting resident hybrid erosion control seed mix prior to total reclamation in each phase will minimize erosion of disturbed land and sedimentation. Planting of walnut trees will occur in 30f acre increments as excavation allows. 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.
