EXHIBIT E
RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE
RECLAMA TION PLAN
The proposed future use of this site is to return it to it ' s
existing use of rangeland. Mining will create a depression in
the terrace deposit that leaves an amphitheater in the Terrace
deposit by day lighting out the north side, and creating a flat
bench running east-west approximately 3 feet above the Huerfano
River. This makes the reclamation plan very simple in that the
mined area will have to be shaped, resoiled and then revegetated
with grass seed once mining is complete . Review of various
options shown on the RECLAMATION PLAN MAPS in this application
packet depicts how we believe the site will look once mining is
complete .
As noted in the MINING PLAN we are proposing two options for
reclaiming the site . The method used to reclaim each option are
the same, the difference in being the amount of sloping needed
and a revegetated area increase . In Option 1, the Perroni House
Area and School House Area setback area will remain undisturbed
and 3h to 1 v slope will extend to the floor of the mine to allow
access to them as shown on MAP EXHIBIT F-1 . In Option 2 , the
Perroni House Area and School House Area will be removed and
those areas will be mined as shown on MAP EXHIBIT F-2. The amount of
sloping, recoiling and revegetation will be different between the
two options as shown in the Reclamation Timetable . Basically, in
Option 2 the floor area will increase by approximately 8 . 2 acres .
As mining progresses the slopes along working face of the
mining area will be temporally graded 2 : 1 to stabilize them until
it is time for resumption of mining or they are final graded for
final reclamation. By creating the temporary slopes as mining
progresses, we are reducing the amount of work necessary to
reclaim the site if mining stopped prematurely.
Since the slopes around the perimeter of the mined area will
steeper then their final slopes, only minor amounts of backfill
slope work will be necessary as mining ends . Five Hundred feet
of the working face will be left nearly vertical and will need to
be cut/fill sloped if mining ended early. The excess overburden
being stockpiled will insure that adequate material is on site,
to complete the sloping plan. This sloping plan will also
insure, that if mining ceases before the resource is exhausted,
only a minor amount of work would have to be done to finish
reclamation on the disturbed area. The placement of the soil
stockpiles around the perimeter of the mined area or direct
