EXHIBIT E <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> PICKENPAUGH GRAVEL PIT (M-1978-078) <br /> The majority of the overburden and topsoil will be stockpiled until the time <br /> for closing the operation approaches. Some will be replaced in areas of the <br /> operation where reclamation will commence and to depths necessary for <br /> stability of the slope. <br /> Reclaimed slopes will be approximately 3-1. <br /> Measures taken to re-vegetate the site will be in accordance with the <br /> reclamation plan recommended by Natural Resources Conservation Service <br /> (see reverse side for these recommendations). <br /> The berm on the Northeastern boundary of the pit will be monitored and <br /> maintained until final reclamation and release of the site has been achieved. <br /> Weed control will be monitored and executed until full reclamation has been <br /> achieved. <br /> Measures taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrological balance are as <br /> excavation proceeds from Southeast to Northwest: <br /> Exposed surface area should be minimal. The disturbed area will be back <br /> sloped to reduce runoff possibilities. The lower area of the operation is flat <br /> and porous and should slow runoff from the exposed surface area. If <br /> necessary a fast growing cover of Prosso millet can be sown to retard any <br /> runoff possibilities. <br />
