EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN (coNT) <br /> OPTION A and OPTION B show the sloping plans and areas that will be <br /> reservoir areas in this plan. <br /> All reservoir bank sloping will be completed to the stated <br /> 3 : 1 slopes or flatter. All areas that are above the high water <br /> line, and are not being reclaimed as graveled access roadways , <br /> will have an average of 6-12 inches of soil fully replaced and <br /> prepped for seeding. All top soiled areas will be seeded with the <br /> seed mix described in this plan, and effective weed control <br /> measures will be implemented until the Phase is released from the <br /> permit area . The applicant requests that the establishment of <br /> full revegetation will not be required for permit acreage release <br /> if "reasonable assurance" that the development for the approved <br /> post mining land use will continue prior to establishing <br /> permanent vegetation. An example of "reasonable assurance" is a <br /> letter from the landowner (Cannon Land Company) stating they <br /> accept the reclamation "as is" and they plan to continue <br /> development of said reservoir and will be re-disturbing some <br /> areas to install developed water storage reservoir operation <br /> facilities As mentioned in the Mining Plan, if the reservoir <br /> phase acreage is not released from the DRMS permit, and the <br /> landowner constructs developed water storage facilities that are <br /> not in this reclamation plan, then L.G. Everist will file a <br /> Technical Revision to incorporate the changes . <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN FOR BACKFILL AREAS <br /> This section covers reclamation on the developed water <br /> storage reservoirs in Phase 1A, 2A, 4A, 4B, AND 5A. The 5 areas <br /> have commercial deposits of gravel but are too small or too <br /> shallow to develop as water storage reservoirs . It was also <br /> determined that with the amount of overburden on the reservoir <br /> areas, there is not a large enough demand to sell all the <br /> overburden that will be stripped. The mining plan calls for <br /> leaving the side slopes of these areas graded 3h to lv when <br /> mining ends to leave a stable slope during backfilling and so <br /> they would not have to be graded if backfilling does not fill <br /> them completely. They will then be backfilled using the excess <br /> overburden from the initial stripping of a phase and the fines <br /> generated during processing of the raw sand and gravel . At any <br /> given time, backfilling may be taking place on 2 or more Phases <br /> as shown on the MAP EXHIBIT C-1 -MINING PLAN MAP. <br /> The intent is to fill Phase 1A, 2A and 4B to their existing <br /> elevations . Phases 4A and 5A may be filled above the original <br /> grade in some areas to dispose of excess overburden. <br /> L G Evenst,Inc Ragsdale Reservoirs May 5,2020 <br /> 17 <br />
