EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> The total disturbed area to be reclaimed under this permit is 54.6 acres. Reclamation plans may <br /> be viewed on Map F-1. The post-mining land use will be rangeland. Internal roads and site <br /> access will be left in place for the property owner to utilize the site following mining. Table E-1 <br /> shows a breakdown of the reclamation areas. <br /> All slopes will be reclaimed to 3H:1 V or shallower. Creation of the final slopes will be <br /> conducted during mining by knocking the crest of a mining highwall down to the final grade, as <br /> discussed in Exhibit D. Fines, overburden, or import fill may be used to backfill areas to <br /> shallower to 3H:IV. Topsoil will be applied to all slopes to a depth of 12 inches. As described in <br /> the mining plan, after the first five years reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. This <br /> initial period of time will see mining progress principally downward within a single pit area <br /> effectively limiting reclaimable slopes.No more than 500' of highwall will remain active at any <br /> time. <br /> Topsoil and overburden from the current mining area will be used to reclaim recently mined out <br /> areas. By mining and reclaiming areas concurrently,the distance that topsoil and overburden is <br /> transported as well as the amount of material that will be rehandled will be minimized. <br /> Additionally, the acreage that is unreclaimed will be minimized and will result in a lower worst <br /> case reclamation scenario effectively reducing the bond. <br /> The reclamation plan shown on Map F-1 shows the final slope configuration that is anticipated. <br /> However, it is anticipated that there will be enough reject fines (-20%of raw mined gravel)to <br /> achieve the reclamation plan shown, or close to it. <br /> Table E-1 Reclamation Areas <br /> Description Area <br /> Rangeland 53.1 Acres <br /> Access Road 1.5 Acres <br /> Undisturbed 13.6 Acres <br /> Total 68.2 Acres <br /> 1.1 Post Mine Land Use and Area Land Use Plans <br /> DMRl:,iY:tA•nii'hi anJ lsxniatr+.,�'� <br /> September 2018 E-1 <br />
