EXHIBIT E <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> a) Reclamation Methods <br /> The general mining reclamation plan consists of a backfill operation that moves stockpiled <br /> top soil back into the mined out areas to be used for final reclamation.During mining <br /> operations,4"to 6"of topsoil will be stockpiled on the We-side of each phase.After mining <br /> has been completed for a phase,these topsoil stockpiles will be excavated and relocated to <br /> provide a natural-looking landform that provides drainage consistent with the pre-mining <br /> condition.The final elevations will depend on the actual quantity of materials available on <br /> the site.No importing of materials is anticipated.Separately stockpiled topsoil will be <br /> spread over the graded surface and then seeded with native grasses and mulched with <br /> straw.The staging process,final condition and seeing requirements are outlined on Exhibit <br /> F-Reclamation Plan Map. <br /> Mining Areas: <br /> Once mined out areas are available to receive topsoil material,the available soil will be <br /> moved to the final location.The final grades will not be steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 <br /> vertical.The concept grading plan is shown on Exhibit F.the reclamation of phases will be <br /> performed as work progresses. <br /> Stockpiling activities will be ongoing by depositing topsoil into mined out areas,as <br /> necessary and as the areas become available.Please refer to Mining Plan Map,for possible <br /> topsoil stockpile locations in each Mining Area.Final reclamation will continue by grading, <br /> spreading topsoil,and reseeding the reclaimed areas. (Please refer to Exhibit F- <br /> Reclamation Plan Map for final reclamation grading.) <br /> At the commencement of reclamation for any phase,it is anticipated that reclamation <br /> activities will continue for 5 years after the phase's reclamation commencements to move <br /> stockpiles,spread topsoil and seed. <br /> Processing Site&Haul Roads: <br /> Exh;b <br />
