EXHIBIT E
RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE
RECLAMATION PLAN
The proposed future uses include industrial area, lake area and
rangeland. The Plant Site will continue to be used for indus-
trial purposes when reclamation is done . The lake will need
little reclamation and the remaining newly mined areas above
water will be revegetated as rangeland.
After mining and reclamation is completed. A quiet lake area
that covers approximately 29 . 32 acres ± will be created when
mining ends (see MAP EXHIBIT F) . Deep Cut plans to use the lake and
surrounding area as a private recreation area and the unmined
portions of the Plant Site as industrial area per the County Use
Permit . The property will have a variety of grasses planted to
stabilize the soil , reduce erosional damage, enhance the wildlife
habitat, and emphasize the natural beauty of the land. The
landowner may choose to plant trees around the site, but at no
time will we commit to planting trees on the permit area .
Any soil encountered during mining will be salvaged and stored
along the setback areas for use in reclamation. If the northeast
area is redisturbed, the topsoil\growth medium salvaged from that
area will be placed along the north line on the setback/perimeter
of the mined area . Any growth medium salvaged from the plant site
area will be saved for use on the lake perimeter in that area .
Growth medium will be placed along the setbacks to minimize the
effect of mid-plan stoppage since it would only have to be pushed
onto the above water slopes to prepare the seed bed.
The mine will be sloped so that stormwater is directed to the
existing lake . The setbacks will leave a level area around the
lake that will be graded so any surface water runoff will flow to
the property interior and will be retained on site . This setback
will allow access to the property line and land around the lake
for the landowners . When sloping is complete the side slopes and
setback area will be resoiled and revegetated using the approved
seed mixture . The reclamation timetable shows the amount of land
in each reclamation area when complete .
The area to be revegetated will be returned to at least it ' s
present vegetative condition when reclamation is complete, except
in the Plant Site where industrial uses are allowed. This area
