RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> East of2kcademy Boulevard LITTLE JOHNSON AREA <br /> For the most part, the existing p1mi remains in effect fbr the portion of the operatiot <br /> located east ofikcademy. As noted previoubl', . 5r adjustments have been made in some <br /> of the reclaniation contours in specific areas,but throughout most of the ;bite the existing plan <br /> fully applies. Most of the fbilowing discussion p.Irtains to the Little johnson area with some <br /> discussion as to how this area wfl!inerge with the existing pfm-. THE FOLLOWING <br /> SECTIONS PERTAIN ONLY TO THE LITTLE JOHNSON RESERVOIR AREA OF THE <br /> PERMIT. FOR ALL OTHER AREAS OF THE PERMIT PLEASE REFER TO THE <br /> SIMILARLY TITLED SECTIONS ELSEWHERE IN THIS EXHIBIT. FOLLOWING THIS <br /> PLAN FOR THE LITTLE JOHNSON RESERVOIR RECLAMATION IS A SEPARATE <br /> SECTION THAT DISCUSSES BLENDING THE EDGES OF THIS PLAN WITH THE <br /> OVERALL PLAN. <br /> GRADING: The grading plan for the Little Johnson area is different from the rest of the <br /> operation. Whereas 3:1 slopes are the maximum steepness of slope allowable elsewhere, the <br /> Little Johnson area will have a slope similar to that shown on the Reclamation Plan maps <br /> (LITTLE JOHNSON Exhibits F-1 and F-2). These slopes will vary from about�on the <br /> western half to about 40:1 on the eastern half of the mining area. If the mining does not, in fact, <br /> extend as far east as shown on the map then the slopes will be somewhat steeper, but should not <br /> ever be steeper than about 12:1. <br /> The final slopes will be crea ed in the process of mining. For details on the mining <br /> process please refer to LITTLE JOHNSON PORTION OF Exhibit D -Mining Plan. Thus,no <br /> more than just some minor touch-up will be needed before the growth medium is replaced. <br /> However, the slopes along the south side of the Little Johnson mining area will have a <br /> maximum gradient of 3:1. The temporary slope aiong the north edge of the bittle Joinis . . - <br /> area will also have a maximum 3 e f slope. But, as noted on ffiC Reclamation Plan Map (Exffibit - <br /> 2) this northem section is potentially a temporary treatment, whereas the south side of the mining <br /> area is most likely permanent. THE TEMPORARY SLOPE REFERRED TO IN THE <br /> ORIGINAL APPROVED PLAN FOR THE LITTLE JOHNSON AREA NO LONGER <br /> APPLIES. TOPOGRAPHY CREATED HERE, AS SHOWN ON THE FINAL TOPOGRAPHY <br /> MAPS (PRIMARILY EXHIBIT F-1), WILL BE APPLIED. THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED <br /> FURTHER IN THE SECTION DISCUSSING THE BLENDING OF THE LITTLE JOHNSON <br /> AREA WITH THE REST OF THE FINAL TOPOGRAPHY IN THE PIT. <br /> Daniels Sand Pit Amendment (2008) Exhibit E Page 5 of 22 <br />
