Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br /> (i) Final grading - specify maximum anticipated slope gradient or <br /> expected ranges thereof; <br /> (ii) Seeding - specify types, mixtures, quantities, and expected time(s) <br /> of seeding and planting; <br /> (iii) Fertilization - if applicable, specify types, mixtures, quantities and <br /> time of application; <br /> (iv) Revegetation - specify types of trees, shrubs, etc., quantities, size <br /> and location; and <br /> (v) Topsoiling - specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths <br /> for those areas where topsoil will be replaced. <br /> This application provides substantial detail of features by utilizing aerial <br /> photography ortho-rectified to near survey accuracy. This highly accurate and <br /> detailed portrayal of the mining and reclamation is visible under Exhibit C-1: <br /> Existing Conditions Map, Exhibit C-2: Extraction Plan Map, and, Exhibit F — <br /> Reclamation Map. How reclamation will occur over affected lands is further <br /> detailed under Exhibit L —Reclamation Costs. <br /> As extraction progresses over planned areas in Tracts A and B; the resulting 3H:1 V <br /> or flatter slopes created during extraction will be concurrently modified by pushing <br /> the resulting pit bottom with a dozer until the resulting basin slopes conform with <br /> Rule 3.1.5(7). Lands above the anticipated final water level of the basins and <br /> within 10.0± feet below the anticipated final water level of the basins will be <br /> graded to 3H:1 V, or flatter. Lands below 10.0± feet from the anticipated final <br /> water level of the basins will also be graded to 3H:1 V, or flatter. Naturally <br /> occurring slopes may exceed 2H:1V where not otherwise affected by extraction <br /> activities and will not be altered as part of reclamation unless necessary to facilitate <br /> the reclamation of affected lands. <br /> A Backfill Notice is included with this application as an Addendum at the back of <br /> Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan, to facilitate the use of inert fill over portions of the <br /> extracted lands to accomplish final end-use potentials, reservoir storage, and other <br /> mixed uses, which may include residential, commercial or industrial structures or <br /> uses otherwise approved now or in the future by Weld County, Colorado. The <br /> extent and nature of the reservoir represents the maximum build-out respective of <br /> optimal extraction of commercial product and resulting final slopes. <br /> All affected lands remaining above the anticipated high water mark of the finished <br /> reservoirs will be capped with a minimum of six (6.0±) inches of soil, as supported <br /> by Exhibit I & J — Soils and Vegetation Information.
