1 <br /> EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. General Reclamation Plan <br /> The total permit area is 256.2 acres. The post-mining land use for the BRS&G Pit 1 will be lakes <br /> with surrounding dryland fields. The rough breakdown of these areas can be seen below: <br /> Table E-1 Reclaimed Areas <br /> Post Mine Land Use Area(acres) <br /> Fields 12.1 <br /> Lakes 145.2 <br /> Roads 3.0 <br /> Undisturbed 95.9 <br /> Total Permit 256.2 <br /> As described in the mining plan, reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. Topsoil and <br /> overburden from the current mining area will be used to reclaim the mined out areas. Topsoil will <br /> be replaced on all graded areas except those areas that are at least 10 feet below expected water <br /> level. By doing this the distance that the topsoil and overburden will have to be transported as well <br /> as the amount of material which will have to be rehandled will be minimized. Additionally, the <br /> acreage which is unreclaimed will be minimized, which will make the worst case reclamation <br /> smaller and thus, the bond will be smaller. The existing irrigated crop fields will be maintained <br /> until it is time to mine them. <br /> All reclamation slopes will be 3H:1 V or shallower. No more than 2000' of highwall will remain <br /> unbackfilled at any time. <br /> The access to the site will remain following mining and reclamation as it is the only property <br /> access. Internal roads that are used by the farming operation will remain as well, if undisturbed by <br /> mining. <br /> BRS&G Pit 1 l.rc I.asaal and �ssnei.ur..I'I i< <br /> March 2019 E-1 <br />
