6.4.5 Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />Description <br />All areas adjacent to oil and gas wells will be backfilled to a radial distance of 200 <br />ft. within 2 weeks of excavation. A Surface Use Agreement (SUA) has been <br />signed and put into place with Anadarko Petroleum for this permit area since <br />October 2008 which outlines the responsibilities with respect to land uses for <br />both Anadarko and ASCI. Reclamation will occur concurrently with mining <br />following completion of gravel extraction in the Southern 1/2 of Cell 1. <br />Reclamation operations will backfill pit slopes from 2H:1 V to 3H:1 V. The pit will <br />be reclaimed as a water -storage reservoir. <br />All affected areas above the normal pool elevation of the reservoir will have <br />overburden soil replacement, topsoil replacement and be re -vegetated with <br />native vegetation followed by a weed control program. Exhibit F- Reclamation <br />Plan Map shows final grading and soiled/ re -vegetation areas. <br />The largest overburden stockpiles to occur at any one time (not including finished <br />construction material) shall be approximately 70,000 yd3. <br />Reclamation Earthwork <br />Reclamation earthwork will occur concurrently with mining where possible. Oil & <br />gas operation areas are to be backfilled in a timely fashion as noted above and <br />as specified by the SUA. Reclamation earthwork and operations will generally <br />follow the sequence specified in Table 6.4.5-1, however variations to the <br />sequence may occur depending upon operational constraints. Reclamation will <br />begin following completion of mining of the Southern'/2 of Cell 1 and will backfill <br />the oil & gas operation area with overburden removed from the North Y2 of Cell 1 <br />(direct replacement). Following completion of mining the West Y2 of Cell 2, the <br />oil & gas operations area in the West Y2 of Cell 2 will be backfilled with <br />overburden from the East Y2 of Cell 2. Following mining of the East Y2 of Cell 2, <br />the oil & gas operations area in the East Y2 of Cell 2 will be backfilled with <br />overburden from the stockpile located in Cell 2. Following mining of the East 1/2 <br />of Cell 3, the oil & gas operations area in the East Y2 of Cell 3 will be backfilled <br />with overburden from the West Y2 of Cell 3 (direct replacement) and overburden <br />from the stockpile located in Cell 1. The gravel plant will be relocated to the pit <br />floor of Cell 3 to complete mining in Cell 4. Following mining of the West 1/2 of <br />Cell 4, the oil & gas operations area in the West Y2 of Cell 4 will be backfilled with <br />overburden from the East Y2 of Cell 4 (direct replacement) and overburden from <br />the stockpile located in Cell 1. Following backfilling of the oil & gas operation <br />area in Cell 4, slopes throughout the pit will be backfilled from 2H:1 V to 3H:1 V <br />beginning with Cell 1 unless they were previously backfilled as part of concurrent <br />reclamation along with backfilling of the oil and gas operations areas. Slopes will <br />be backfilled with overburden from stockpiles in the respective Cells. <br />July 2015 Chavers Mining Resource <br />Regular 112 Permit Application <br />
