Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />i) Final grading - specify maximum anticipated slope gradient or <br />expected ranges thereof; <br />ii) Seeding - specify types, mixtures, quantities, and expected time(s) <br />of seeding and planting; <br />iii) Fertilization - if applicable, specify types, mixtures, quantities and <br />time of application; <br />iv) Revegetation - specify types of trees, shrubs, etc., quantities, size <br />and location; and <br />v) Topsoiling - specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths <br />for those areas where topsoil will be replaced. <br />This application provides substantial detail of features by utilizing aerial <br />photography ortho-rectified to near survey accuracy. This highly accurate and <br />detailed portrayal of the mining and reclamation is visible under Exhibit C-1: <br />Existing Conditions Map, Exhibit C-2: Extraction Plan Map, and, Exhibit F — <br />Reclamation Map. How reclamation will occur over affected lands is further <br />detailed under Exhibit L — Reclamation Costs. <br />As extraction progresses over planned areas in Tracts A and B; the resulting <br />1.25H:1 V or flatter slopes created during extraction will be concurrently modified <br />by pushing the resulting pit bottom with a dozer until the resulting basin slopes <br />conform with Rule 3.1.5(7). Lands above the anticipated final water level of the <br />basins and within 10.0± feet below the anticipated final water level of the basins <br />will be graded to 3H:1V, or flatter. Lands below 10.0± feet from the anticipated <br />final water level of the basins will also be graded to 3H:1 V, or flatter. Naturally <br />occurring slopes may exceed 2H:1 V where not otherwise affected by extraction <br />activities and will not be altered as part of reclamation unless necessary to facilitate <br />the reclamation of affected lands. <br />A Backfill Notice is included with this application as an Addendum at the back of <br />Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan, to facilitate the use of inert fill over portions of the <br />extracted lands to accomplish final end-use potentials, reservoir storage, and other <br />mixed uses, which may include residential, commercial or industrial structures or <br />uses otherwise approved now or in the future by Weld County, Colorado. The <br />extent and nature of the reservoir represents the maximum build -out respective of <br />optimal extraction of commercial product and resulting final slopes. <br />All affected lands remaining above the anticipated high water mark of the finished <br />reservoirs will be capped with a minimum of six (6.0±) inches of soil, as supported <br />by Exhibit I & J — Soils and Vegetation Information.
