EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> The total disturbed area to be reclaimed under this permit is 83.5 acres. Reclamation plans can be <br /> viewed on Map F-1. The post-mining land use will be rangeland. All slopes will be reclaimed to <br /> 3H:1 V or shallower. No more than 200 feet of highwall will remain unbackfil led at anytime. As <br /> described in the mining plan, reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. Three areas will <br /> be in operation at any time: the active mining area,the mining area being reclaimed, and the <br /> main processing area in Area 1. <br /> Topsoil and overburden from the current mining area will be used to reclaim mined out areas. <br /> 12-15 inches of topsoil will be replaced on all graded areas. Prior to overburden placement, <br /> 1 H:1 V mining slopes will be knocked down to 2H:1 V slopes. Overburden will be replaced at an <br /> average depth of 4 feet beyond attaining a 3H:1 V slope. By reclaiming concurrently, the distance <br /> that the topsoil and overburden will have to be transported as well as the amount of material that <br /> will have to be rehandled will be minimized. Additionally,the acreage that is unreclaimed will <br /> be minimized and will make the worst-case reclamation smaller and thus, the bond will be <br /> smaller. <br /> An internal road will be left in place for the property owner to access and use the site following <br /> mining. The currently existing access to the property will be left in place for the landowners use <br /> as well. <br /> 2. Reclamation Timetable <br /> The time for reclamation is shown below—Table E-2. Exhibit L: Reclamation Costs describes <br /> the worst case bond scenario. <br /> Yevoli Cobblestone Pit (:,,,,.I—A.and,�,. •,.,�,•,,141 t <br /> December 2018 E-1 <br />
