Exhibit E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />William011inois Gravel Pit <br />The Pre- mining use of the WilliamMinois Pit was Rangeland so the area will be <br />returned to Rangeland during reclamation with the seeding plan recommended by the <br />(NRCS) Natural Resource Conservation Service. <br />Reclamation work will begin in the pit area during and after each stage is_mmed. An area <br />of approximately 5 acres will be in reclamation during mining of each stage so that no <br />more than ten 10 acres of land will be disturbed at any given time during the life of the <br />112 permit. <br />This work will be accomplished with a front -end loaders, dump trucks, excavators, <br />graders, scrapers, or dozers. Side slopes of the edge of the mined out pit area will be <br />reclaimed at a minimum of 3: 1 slope. During reclamation, topsoil will be spread at a <br />minimum, depth of 8 inches across the area being reclaimed. The existing access road <br />into and through the pit will be modified but left for existing and future uses. <br />At the close of mining operations, any leftover stockpiles of topsoil or overburden will be <br />spread across the pit to gradually blend into the pit area utilizing loaders, dump trucks <br />excavators, graders, scrapers, and dozers. <br />Reseeding and planting will be accomplished at the time of year, an in a manner <br />recommended by the (MRCS) as shown in Exhibit B (a) of the original mining plan. <br />The operator of the mining plan has and will continue to work diligently to control <br />invasive weeds by spraying annually or as deemed necessary in the entire permit area. <br />
