EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> Trout Valley Ranch will disturb 457.4 acres of the permitted 473.6 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 /> Undisturbed dredge pile 192.8 <br /> Redaimed d area <br /> Undisturbed non-dredge area 190.8 <br /> Access Road. <br /> W............................. _.W_.___.____._._—_ _._._ ...__. ._..... ....... ... <br /> Total 472.3 <br /> Full lti� <br /> __....�..�.__ ................_......__—_..._.__ <br /> Undisturbed dredge pile 4.6 <br /> _Redaim+ 'dml,ara 457.4 <br /> _...__ -_- _ j ... _ _....._. .... _. <br /> Undisturbed non-dredge area 10.1 <br /> Access Rand <br /> Total 473.6 <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 newly disturbed dredge highwalls to 2H:1 V or less (current permanent <br /> stable pile slopes are —1H:IV), 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. Undisturbed dredge slopes will not be altered. Maps F-1 and F-2 shows the dredge mining <br /> stage reclamation plans. Processing fines will be used as substitute topsoil in the dredge pile <br /> areas. Map F-1 represents the reclamation plan for the first 20 years of the operation.
