EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN Unless specifically discussed below, the reclamation methods described and approved in the approved permit application, will remain unchanged. The following text explains the changes to the reclamation plan as proposed in this amendment . Reclamation will run concurrent with mining as the site is developed to reduce the amount of reclamation required at any-one-time . Discussions are underway with the Last Change Ditch company that would allow for potentially relocate the Last Chance Ditch around the perimeter of the mine . This would remove the ditch and bordering setbacks and allow the reservoirs to be combined into one larger area, if feasible . If this happens, L.G. Everist, Inc . would file a Technical Revision to update the Reclamation Timetable and Reclamation Plan Map showing the final location of the ditch and the new reservoir configuration. The 2 . 09 acre ± being added will be mined leaving a very narrow band of above water area and bank sloping on the north side . This change will reduce the total reclamation required at the mine because when the area was not in the permit, it had longer banks and more above-water areas needing reclamation. RECLAMATION TIMETABLE The numbers presented below represent our estimate of the various area of disturbance in the mine site . They may change as the actual mining progresses thru the site .
