RECLAMATeON PLAN[Rev#2] —Bellino Pit <br /> George Reed, Inc. <br /> Page 7 <br /> III. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RECLAMATION (continued) <br /> F. Disposition of Old Equipment <br /> No permanent structures or buildings are involved in this project. All equipment to be used at the project site is <br /> portable and easily removed from the site upon completion of excavation and reclamation. <br /> G. Revegetation <br /> An abundance of topsoil is available for reclamation purposes. After excavation activities cease, the replaced <br /> topsoil and roads(or other compacted areas)are ripped and leveled in preparation for planting. Almond trees are <br /> usually planted by hand in the early spring of the year, as weather conditions allow. Soil amendments, fertilizer, <br /> etc., are placed at the discretion of the Farm Contractor in charge of fanning operations. Irrigation water for the <br /> existing and future orchard is provided by a private well. <br /> H. Monitoring and Maintenance <br /> Almond trees require land preparation prior to planting as well as constant maintenance and monitoring by the <br /> Owner and Farm Contractor. To ensure successful planting, the orchard will be maintained by the Farm <br /> Contractor regularly. If a tree failure occurs it will be replanted. Using the services of a qualified Farm <br /> Contractor,the Owner/Operator has successfully reclaimed ±320 acres of mined lands back to almond & walnut <br /> orchards. <br /> I. In-Stream Mining <br /> In-stream mining does not apply to this project. <br /> J. Future Mining <br /> This project will deplete existing mineral resources within the project area. It will not preclude future mining on <br /> lands adjacent to or near the project area. <br /> K. Public Safety <br /> "Slow Trucks" signs are currently posted on River Road approximately 500 feet east and west of the entrance to <br /> the processing facility. River Road is double-lined from Harrold Avenue to the facility entrance. Additional <br /> measures and/or recommendations can be incorporated if deemed necessary. <br /> L.
