EXHIBIT E <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> A. Overburden will be replaced when there is a sufficient area affected (3-5 acres) <br /> and it will not disrupt mining operations. (See Mining Map) <br /> B. Maximum gradient - Per the Natural Resources Conservation Service <br /> recommendation contouring the pit by smoothing all banks to no more than 2:1 <br /> slopes and will be flatter where feasible and practicable. The topography will be <br /> made smooth with no spoil piles or pits present. <br /> C. Topsoiling and seeding - All stockpiled overburden and topsoil will be used <br /> exclusively for reclamation. Topsoil will be spread uniformly over the disturbed <br /> area to a packed depth of 6 inches. In the event that existing soils have <br /> insufficient depth, topsoil shall be brought in and spread over the deficient areas. <br /> The pit will be seeded during the last year of operation. (See Item 'A'). Seedbed <br /> should be well settled and firm, but not friable for seed replacement. <br /> The Natural Resources Conservation Service has recommended the following seed <br /> Requied %of PL.S Rate/ Total PES <br /> Species Variety PLS/ac species specieslac Ibs/species <br /> (100%) in mixture <br /> Blue grama Lovin ton Hachita 3.0 20.0% 0.60 12.1 <br /> Switch rass Grenville NE 28 4.5 10.0% 0.45 9.1 <br /> Sideoats Grama Vaughn, Butte Nlner 9.0 30.0% 2.70 54.4 <br /> Western Wheat grass Arriba Barton 16.0 20.0% 3.20 64.4 <br /> Little Bluestem Pastura Ornmarron 7.0 20.0% 1.40 28.2 <br /> D. Seedbed Preparation - The total area to be seeded will include all disturbed <br /> areas. The seedbed will be well settled and firm, but not friable, for seed <br /> placement. Soils that have been compacted by equipment will be tilled to break <br /> up rooting restrictive layers, then harrowed, rolled or packed to prepare the <br /> required firm seedbed. Grass seed will be drilled using a grass drill from <br /> November 1 st to April 30th, prior to a period of anticipated moisture and after all <br /> other treatment is completed. Recommended planting depth is % to 3/4 inches. <br /> See (above) CO-ECS <br /> E. Fertilization and Weed Control - Manure will be spread on the prepared surface <br /> at the rate of 20 tons per acre; or nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (13205) fertilizer <br /> 719958 05/28/2014 08:12 AM 6: 01008 P: 131 DOCUMENT <br /> Pape: 16 of 63 R 50.00 D $0.00 T $0.00 <br /> Pamela M.
