EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> The Operator/Applicant will reclaim this mine site back to pastureland and residential home sites <br /> in the future.No trees shrubs or bushy-type vegetation will be planted, only the appropriate <br /> grasses selected by the NRCS will be used. The site will be graded to compliment the <br /> surrounding topography. The pit floor will be flat and the slopes will be graded at 3H:1 V or <br /> flatter. The saved topsoil, located as per Map-C, will be spread over all the disturbed areas and <br /> prepared for seeding according to the NRCS recommendations. Topsoil will be replaced at 8"to <br /> 12". <br /> The entire affected area will be reclaimed as pastureland with home sites planned for future use. <br /> This use was selected by the landowners as being consistent with the other acreage they own <br /> adjacent to the affected area. The landowners do not want the access/haul road reclaimed as it <br /> will provide ingress and egress to the balance of their acreage and will allow for cattle feeding <br /> and the residential development. <br /> Earthmoving for reclamation will be simple and typical of this type deposit. Mining will leave a <br /> level pit floor with some slight(plus/minus 6")differential contours to facilitate revegetation and <br /> to conform more closely to the surrounding topography, A Special Use Permit (SUP) application <br /> has been granted by the Las Animas County Planning and Land Use Office and the Las Animas <br /> County Commissioners for gravel mining at this location. <br /> Post mining land use as pastureland and residential development is consistent with the land use <br /> in the vicinity. <br /> The Operator/Applicant, in consultation with the Landowners (also the applicant), have decided <br /> to reclaim the affected area back to pastureland and residential development <br /> The results of the decisions were formulated into the reclamation plan. This application, of which <br /> this is a part, and all of the decisions formulated into it, constitute what the applicant believes is <br /> an appropriate and workable Reclamation Plan. <br /> Reclaiming substitute land is not a consideration of this operation. <br /> Robinson Gravel No 1 <br /> September 2018 E-1 �~ <br />
