EXHIBIT "E" <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 6.4.5 The Reclamation Plan for the Belveal Pit is as follows: <br /> (1) In preparing the Reclamation Plan: <br /> The Reclamation Plan addresses the following items: final grading, seeding, soil <br /> amendments,topsoil replacement, soil stabilization, and seedbed preparation. <br /> (2) The Reclamation Plan shall include provision for, or satisfactory explanation <br /> of the general requirements for the type of reclamation proposed: <br /> (a) A description of the types of reclamation proposed to be achieved in the <br /> reclamation of the affected land and why chosen,the amount of acreage <br /> accorded to each, and a general discussion of the methods of reclamation as <br /> related to the mechanics of earthmoving: <br /> The amended area will be reclaimed in a similar fashion as the mined area under the <br /> 110 Construction Materials Permit. The existing land use for the proposed mining <br /> area is rangeland and the owner wants the area returned to rangeland. <br /> Table 1, above, lists the various phases of mining and associated acres estimated to be <br /> affected. Reclamation will likely begin in Phase A-1, and then proceed to Phase A-2. <br /> The last area to be reclaimed will be the existing area of 110 Construction Materials <br /> pit since it will also be needed for product processing. <br /> Once the sands and gravels are removed,the final slopes will be mined at 3:H1 V. <br /> The areas ready for reclamation will have the topsoil replaced to a depth of 6-8 <br /> inches. <br /> (b) A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the <br /> vicinity and to adopted State and local land use programs. Where the post <br /> mining land use is for commercial purposes, appropriate evidence supporting <br /> such reasonable assurance shall be submitted,it not, a plan for revegetation <br /> shall be submitted: <br /> The site and the surrounding land use is rangeland and wildlife habitat. <br /> (c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each <br /> applicable requirement of Section 3.1: <br /> This Section is addressed in the following sections and narrative. <br /> 26 <br />
