EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> 5 Mile Pit will disturb 51 acres of the permitted 130.56 acres as part of mining. 40.7 acres will be <br /> the mine pits,while the remainder will be berms, roads, and the detention pond. The reclamation <br /> breakdown of the site is as follows: <br /> Table E-1 Reclaimed Areas <br /> Post Mine Land Use Area (acres) <br /> Dry rangeland 34.70 <br /> Lakes 16.30 <br /> Undisturbed 79.56 <br /> Total 130.56 <br /> Reclamation will be pursued contemporaneously with mining. Backfilling to the final contour, as <br /> shown on Map F-1,will take place as mining progresses. The final shape of the reclaimed lakes <br /> will be like that shown on Map F-1, although there might be small variation in the shoreline so <br /> that the lakes appear organic. The maximum length of mined out, unbackfilled highwall is 1000 <br /> feet.No more than 400 feet of backfilled slope will be untopsoiled at any time. <br /> Final reclamation slopes will be 3H:1 V down to 10 feet below the anticipated water level, and <br /> then 21-1:1 V to the bottom. If no DRMS approved water right is in place for the consumptive of <br /> exposed groundwater,than mining and reclamation will stop at 4990'. Map F-2 shows this <br /> scenario. <br /> The post-mine land use of the site will be predominantly dry rangeland, like the pre mine <br /> condition, with the addition of the ground water lakes. <br /> 5 Mile Pit March 2016 E-1 <br />
