EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan <br />The primary reclamation plan for the pit is to allow the floodwaters of Frenchman Creek to <br />smooth out and reclaim the creek flow area. That portion of the pit will essentially be returned <br />to being a dry, creek bed at the completion of the operation. The current creek area only has a <br />vegetative cover in dry periods. Floodwaters destroy such vegetation periodically. No topsoil <br />will be put in the creek bed since it would only be washed downstream during the next heavy <br />rainfall. The area on each side of the creek and the creek banks will be back sloped from the <br />bottom of the pit area to the original ground elevation at a slope no steeper than 2:1. Those <br />areas will have topsoil replaced, then be seeded according to recommendations received from <br />the Natural Resource Conservation Service. <br />a) The creek bed currently has gravel at the surface. There is no topsoil in the creek <br />bed itself. Creek banks have topsoil ranging from 4-5" in depth. That topsoil will be <br />stockpiled and returned during the reclamation process. <br />b) Slopes no greater than 2:1 will be left in the completed pit. <br />c) Sloping will occur as material is mined. <br />d) The access driveways will be left intact once the mining is complete. <br />e) There are no other reclamation treatments to note for this site. <br />A cost estimate for final reclamation has not been prepared since the application is from county <br />government. <br />Phillips County Landfill Page 5 <br />
