RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Exhibit E <br />1. The proposed post -mining pit is to replace pit area with topsoil, then it is to be used as <br />pastureland. The areas around this gravel sit is pastureland. <br />2. Any cost estimate for final reclamation has not been prepared since this pit is operated by a <br />county government. Estimated timelines are: <br />1) Begin earthwork <br />2) Application of topsoil <br />3) Date of seeding <br />January, 2016 <br />January, 2036 <br />June, 2036 <br />3. We will remove all gravel stock piles. Any stockpiled overburden will be spread over the mined <br />area. The overburden will be taken down to the bottom of the mined area and then worked so <br />that a 3:1 slope is established on the sidewalls. <br />4. The stockpiled topsoil will be spread evenly over the prepared area. All topsoil will be replaced <br />before seeding of the pit occurs. The amount of topsoil available varies depending upon the soil <br />type originally covering the mined area. <br />5. We will plant a cover crop and grass seed as recommended by NRCS. <br />6. The eastern part of the pit will be mined in early 2016. It is to be mined at no more than 3 acres <br />per usage. We will work our way out to the West as needed before completion in 15-20 years. <br />
