RECLAMATION PLAN <br />1. General Reclamation Plan <br />EXHIBIT E <br />The total area of the permit is 134.50 acres. The permit has both disturbed area (72.70 acres) and <br />undisturbed area (61.80 acres). The large amount of undisturbed area is due to avoiding the <br />central wetland. The access road will be left in place as the primary property access. The <br />reclaimed land use is shown in Table E -1. The reclaimed slopes vary above the anticipated water <br />line (7709' to 7710' elevation) to provide a more aesthetically pleasing shoreline than typically <br />found at sand and gravel pits. Below the anticipated lake level the slopes will be 2H:1 V. Map F <br />shows the reclaimed land use and layout of the site, while Map C -3 shows the difference in <br />topography between mining and reclamation. <br />Table E -1 Tomichi Pit Reclaimed Land Use <br />Description <br />Area <br />Lake Area <br />46.08 <br />acres <br />Wetlands Built <br />4.14 <br />acres <br />Other Wildlife Habitat Built <br />21.48 <br />acres <br />Roads <br />1.00 <br />acres <br />Undisturbed Areas <br />61.80 <br />jacres <br />Total Permit Area <br />1 134.50 <br />jacres <br />Reclamation will be conducted concurrently with mining to minimize the unreclaimed area <br />exposed at any given time. Considering that the maximum mining highwall is expected to be <br />approximately 1200' long, this will most likely be the largest area of unreclaimed slope at any <br />time. The worst case reclamation scenario for the mine is detailed in Exhibit L. <br />2. Topsoil Replacement <br />The topsoil salvaged during mining will be immediately placed on the unreclaimed portions of <br />the pit as much as possible. This will happen concurrently with mining to minimize the amount <br />of unreclaimed slope. Some topsoil will be placed in various berms on site, with some berms <br />being permanent. <br />Tomichi Pit, December 2013 E -1 <br />
