EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN(coNT)
Estimates show that it is possible to complete the
backfilling in these Phases as shown on MAP EXHIBITF -RECLAMATION
PLAN MAP - OPTION A and OPTION B if the amount of overburden is
present . At a minimum, each backfilled Phase will be backfilled
to a level at least 2 feet above the highest ground water
elevations if there is not sufficient material to bring them back
to their original elevation. Once backfilling is complete in a
Phase, an average of 6-12 inches of topsoil will be spread over
the disturbed area and it will be seeded as cropland during the
next planting season.
Optional Reclamation Plans
Note that all changes connected with the following optional
plans will take place within the permitted boundaries, therefore
not affecting (increasing) the overall acreage of the permitted
area and guaranteeing the allowed use of the Technical Revision
process for these changes .
RESER VOIR AREAS
We are submitting two options for a final configuration of
the reservoir areas . These are based on the current and future
status of various oil/gas facilities located in the permit area .
Option A - The reservoir configurations for Option A are
show on the large map on MAP EXHIBIT F - RECLAMATION PLAN MAP -OPTION A
and the areas are shown on the Reclamation timetable for Option
A.
Option B - The reservoir configurations under Option B are
shown on MAP EXHIBIT F - RECLAMATION PLAN MAP -OPTION Band the areas are
shown on the Reclamation timetable for Option B. In general , the
optional changes in Option B could be caused by oil and gas
facility changes, other utility and ROW changes, and changes by
the landowner . Changes by the landowners could include their
construction of developed water storage facilities prior to
acreage release in a reservoir phase, or transforming a backfill
phase into a wetland area, for wetland banking by the landowner.
If any options of Option B are chosen, L .G. Everist will submit a
Technical Revision to incorporate the changes .
The methods used to reclaim the reservoirs will be the same
for both options as previously discussed. The difference may be
an increase/decrease in the volume of developed water storage and
an increase/decrease in the amount of revegetation necessary.
