6.4.5 Exhibit E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Reclamation to rangeland will occur following mining at the site. As topsoil and waste <br />rock and overburden are removed from the working face, they will be stockpiled for future <br />reclamation use. Throughout mining, slopes will be maintained at a 3H:1V minimum. Waste <br />rock and overburden will be placed on the pit floor as quantity allows. Four to six inches of <br />topsoil will be replaced on affected surfaces. If necessary, surfaces will be roughened prior to <br />seeding. <br />Hard Rock Paving and Redi Mix will use the NRCS recommended seed mix. The mix is <br />attached for review. The seed will be drilled at %" to %" in depth at a rate of 2500 pounds per <br />acre and straw mulch will be crimped in. All mining structures, including interior haul roads and <br />stormwater diversion structures, will be reclaimed following all mining operations. All buildings <br />are portable control vans. <br />Throughout the mining area, salvageable surface material will be removed and <br />stockpiled for use in final reclamation. Upon commencement of reclamation, the area will be <br />monitored for noxious weeds. Hard Rock Paving and Redi Mix will implement appropriate <br />methods to manage weed growth and will work with Huerfano County Weed Control Program <br />for recommendations in the event noxious weeds develop.
