NEWMONT <br />GOLDCORR <br />Growth medium will be applied to a minimum depth of six inches over the regraded VLF surfaces <br />and associated disturbances. After placement, the growth medium will be amended as needed, <br />and seeded pursuant to the procedures described in Sections 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 above. <br />Closure and reclamation processes at each VLF, including neutralization (approximately six <br />years), physical reclamation (approximately two years) monitoring (approximately two additional <br />years), are scheduled to take up to ten years after final leaching of ore has been completed at <br />each facility. <br />1.5.4 External Solution Storage Pond (ESP) <br />Reclamation of the External Solution Storage Pond (ESP) remains unchanged from that approved <br />in MLE - Amendment 9 and MLE2 - Amendment 10. The ESP likely will be used to facilitate final <br />rinsing of the VLFs. Solution contained in the ESP at the conclusion of rinsing will be spray <br />evaporated or treated with H202 and applied to the VLF. Any sludge that may remain in the bottom <br />of the ESP will be removed, tested and appropriately disposed of, most likely by hauling to and <br />placing on the VLF. The ESP liner will be folded into the bottom of the pond and the impoundment <br />area filled with material. Facilities demolition debris may be placed in the pond bottom prior to <br />filling with material. The filled ESP area will be graded, soil will be placed, and the area will be <br />reclaimed. <br />1.5.5 Haul Roads <br />Haul road reclamation will occur in the same manner as previously approved for haul roads in <br />MLE - Amendment 9 and MLE2 - Amendment 10. At the conclusion of mining activities, haul <br />roads designated for closure will be regraded to blend with the surrounding terrain. Existing haul <br />road embankment fill material will be pulled onto the road surface, where possible and the <br />remaining road surfaces will be ripped. Cut slopes will be reduced or filled with material, where <br />appropriate, to achieve the desired configuration. As appropriate on a location -specific basis, <br />culverts may be removed or retained, with proper drainage accommodated in the field. Soil <br />typically is part of the fill materials that are pulled onto the road surface or will be retrieved if in <br />close proximity to the road to assist with the reclamation effort. <br />Roads outside the limits of the mine areas and OSAs will also be reclaimed. In consultation with <br />appropriate representatives of Teller County, CC&V may later propose to retain and use certain <br />existing road corridors to provide light -vehicle access to reclaimed areas for monitoring; however, <br />it is not possible to specify those potential routes at the present time. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit E <br />Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br />14 <br />
