EXHIBIT "E" <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 6.4.5 The Reclamation Plan for the Patty's Pit is as follows: <br /> (1) In preparing the Reclamation Plan: <br /> The Reclamation Plan addresses the following items: final grading, seeding, soil amendments, <br /> topsoil replacement, soil stabilization, and seedbed preparation. <br /> (2) The Reclamation Plan shall include provision for, or satisfactory explanation of the <br /> 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 accorded to <br /> each, and a general discussion of the methods of reclamation as related to the <br /> mechanics of earthmoving: <br /> The amended area will be reclaimed in a similar fashion as the mined area under the 110 <br /> Construction Materials Permit. The existing land use for the proposed mining area is <br /> 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 unneeded portions of Phase 1,and then proceed <br /> to Phase 2 followed by Phase 3. The last area to be reclaimed will be the existing area of <br /> the 110 Construction Materials pit, since it may be needed for product processing and <br /> potentially, an excess overburden stockpile which may still exist in a portion of Phase 1. <br /> Once the sands and gravels are removed,the final slopes will be mined at 3:H1V. The areas <br /> ready for reclamation will have the topsoil replaced to a depth of 8 to 10 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 mining <br /> land use is for commercial purposes,appropriate evidence supporting such reasonable <br /> assurance shall be submitted,it not,a plan for revegetation 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 /> 27 <br />
