EXHIBIT E
RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE
RECLAMATION PLAN
The proposed future use is to back fill the excavated area and
level the property so it can be developed for commercial uses .
This site contains 4 lots which are zoned agricultural in Adams
County. The intent is to have the entire area zoned commercial
at some point so this permit request contains a duel reclamation
plan that provides for eventually allowing commercial development
on the land. If Option 2 is used, the operator will file a
Technical Revision with the Division showing the specific
development plans for the site. Both plans call for backfilling
the excavated areas as shown on the Reclamation Plan Map. During
and after mining ends the site will be operated as an Inert
Material landfill until it has been completely backfilled as
shown on MAP EXHIBIT F-RECLAMATION PLAN MAP. This Inert Materials
landfill may operate up to 15 years after mining ends before
enough material is delivered to complete filling.
A signed and notarized inert fill affidavit as required in rule
3 . 1 . 5 (9) , is provided in the Appendix section of this packet .
The operator will commit to notifying the Division when they
begin to import inert fill material into the mine. In Phase 1,
only on-site generated materials will be used to backfill the
mined area so no affidavit is needed for that area.
See Figures E-1, E-2 and E-3 for the various reclaimed scenarios
discussed in this plan. Figure E-1 shows the area as if it were
totally backfilled and seeded but not yet developed as
commercial/industrial area. Figure E-2 is drawn as described in
Option 1 but only partially backfilled and seeded. Figure E-3 is
Option 2 with only the mine perimeter and undisturbed areas shown
as revegetated and the commercial/industrial development
envelopes, left as unseeded.
The estimated amount of fill to be placed in Phase 1 is 247, 000
yd3 and in Phase 2 it is 1, 553, 700 yd3, for a total of 1, 800, 700
cubic yards . Adams County requires an Inert Materials
Certificate of Designation (CD) permit for backfilling the Phase
2 area so a CD for the entire permit area will be obtained from
the county. A copy of the permit will be provided to the
Division upon receipt .
