EXHIBIT E -Maps <br />Rule 6.3.5 (Starts on Page 141 of the Rules) <br />The purpose of the mine plan map is to describe how mining will affect the permit area through duration of the <br />operation. The purpose of the reclamation plan map is to describe the timing,procedures, criteria and materials <br />that will be used to reclaim the affected land to the proposed post-mining land use. Reclamation is required for <br />all affected lands. The mine plan map and the reclamation plan map must satisfy the general map requirements <br />of Rule 6.2.1(2), and illustrate the information specified under Rules 6.3.2(b), 6.3.3 and 6.3.5. Examples of a <br />mine plan map and axeclamation plan map are enclosed for reference. <br />1) Please show the following on the Mine Plan Map (Please use the optional template or attach a <br />map): <br />a. Boundary of Affected Lands must be delineated and labeled (the mine boundaries cannot be <br />larger than 5 acres); <br />b. Where will mining start; <br />c. What direction will mining progress; <br />d. Label all immediately adjoining surface owners; <br />e. Show the name and location of all creeks, roads, buildings, oil and gas wells and lines, and <br />power and communication lines on the mine and within two hundred (200) feet of the mine <br />boundary; <br />f. Show the existing topography (contour lines of sufficient detail are required to portray the <br />directipn and rate of slope of the affected land); <br />g. Label the type of vegetation covering the mine; <br />h. Show all permanent man-made structures on the mine and within two hundred (200) feet of the <br />mine boundary and label the owners of the permanent man-made structures; and <br />i. If the operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems, a statement of <br />that expectation shall be submitted <br />i. Illustrate on the pre-mining map if the operation is not expected to directly affect surface <br />or groundwater systems, a statement of that expectation shall be submitted. <br />ii. Please identify all known aquifers. <br />iii. Submit a brief statement or plan showing how water from dewatering operations or from <br />runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will be managed to <br />protect against pollution of either surface or groundwater. <br />Note: It may be helpful to print an aerial photo and label everything on the aerial photo. <br />2) Reclamation Plan Map (Please use the optional template or attach a map) <br />Please provide a map that clearly describes the features associated with the mining plan and the <br />components of the Reclamation flan. Include one map for the mine plan and one map for the <br />Reclamation Plan. The map(s) must be drawn to a scale no smaller than appropriate to clearly show all <br />elements that are required to be delineated by the Act and these Rules; show a north arrow, note any <br />section corners adjacent to the proposed operation, and indicate the date illustrated. At a minimum, <br />maps must include the following information: <br />a. Please illustrate the gradient of all reclaimed slopes (horizontal:vertical) sufficient to <br />describe the post mine topography; <br />b. If ponds are a part of the Reclamation Plan, outline the final shore configuration of the <br />ponds and shallow areas if the future land use is for wildlife; <br />c. State the average thickness of replaced overburden by reclamation area or phase; and <br />d. State the average thickness of replaced topsoil by reclamation area or phase.
