The reclamation plan shall include the following items of information:
1. A grading plan showing the end state topography of the site upon completion of reclamation;
2. A revegetation plan indicating what planting will occur to reestablish vegetation on the site;
3. A drainage/hydrology plan indicating the hydrological characteristics of the site after reclamation, including the creation/modification of floodplains and wetlands;
