GoodMiller #2 Pit 112c Permit
RECLAMATION PLAN
General Reclamation Plan
EXHIBIT E
As stated in the mining plan, the mining slope will be 1.5H:1 V to recover the material. These
slopes will be backfilled to the final reclamation slope of 3H:1 V. The material that will be used
for this backfilling will be overburden, import material and waste fines. Topsoil will be placed
over the fill material. This will then be seeded. All areas will be reclaimed as dry rangeland.

Topsoil Placement
Topsoil has been salvaged from the existing operation and is stockpiled on the northern portion of
the permit area (See Map C -2). Topsoil will also be salvaged from the other mining areas. Initially,
topsoil will be stockpiled. As the mining progresses, topsoil can be directly placed in the
reclamation areas to remove the stockpile step. Topsoil will be replaced at an approximate
thickness of 6 inches over the entire site. Topsoil will only be placed on areas ready for final
reclamation. An additional 1.0 feet minimum of overburden will be placed immediately below the
topsoil.
Haul Roads and Access
The in -pit roads will be removed as shown on Map F -1. The ramp and access road will be left.
These roads will be used for site access.
Reclamation Sequencing
Reclamation of the site will follow the mining operation and will occur on an ongoing basis to
allow areas to be reclaimed quickly. This contemporaneous reclamation also allows for limiting
the size of the bond required by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. As soon as
