EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> Trout Valley Ranch will disturb 452.6 acres of the permitted 472.3 acres as part of mining. How <br /> the disturbance area breaks down will change over the 50+ year life of the mine. A breakdown of <br /> the two different major points shown on Maps F-1 and F-2 is shown in Table E-1. <br /> Table E-1 Reclaimed Areas <br /> Post Mine Land Use Area (acres) <br /> Partial Dredge Pile Mining Reclaimed (Map F-1) <br /> Undisturbed dredge pile 195.6 <br /> Reclaimed dry rangeland area 76.9 <br /> Undisturbed non-dredge area 194.9 <br /> - ------------ <br /> Access Road 4.9 <br /> Total 472.3 <br /> Full Mining Reclaimed (Map F-2) <br /> Undisturbed dredge pile 4.8 <br /> Reclaimed dry rangeland area 452.2 <br /> Undisturbed non-dredge area 10.4 <br /> Access Road 4.9 <br /> Total 472.3 <br /> - .................. ................ <br /> Since the dredge piles have been in place on the property for long before any reclamation laws or <br /> regulations were in place, and no topsoil or vegetation was salvaged during the dredging, no <br /> capping of the dredge piles will take place. In the event the mining activity ceases at the Trout <br /> Valley Ranch prior to all the dredge piles on the property being mined out, reclamation will <br /> consist of reducing the disturbed dredge highwalls to 2H:1 V or less (current permanent stable <br /> pile slopes are—1H:1V), grading any flat areas to drain in the same general direction as the <br /> baseline topography likely does, and"topsoiling" and revegetating all disturbed non-dredge <br /> areas. Maps F-1 and F-2 shows the dredge mining stage reclamation plans. Processing fines will <br /> be used as substitute topsoil in the dredge pile areas. <br /> Map F-1 represents the reclamation plan for the first 20 years of the operation. This is the <br /> reclamation plan used to guide bond planning in Exhibit L. <br /> Trout Valley Ranch November2016 E-1 CretLcwkkiaooAssociates,PLIA: <br />
