EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN (coNT) <br /> As mentioned previously, topsoil in the property is of good <br /> quality, so it should be a decent growth medium for reclamation. <br /> When topsoil is removed, to reach the sand and gravel deposit , it <br /> will be segregated and stored in graded stockpiles, generally <br /> located in areas where disturbances by ongoing mining operations <br /> will be at a minimum, i . e . , along setbacks on the pit perimeter. <br /> If the topsoil (and overburden) stockpiles remain undisturbed for <br /> more than a year, the approved seed mix will be applied to <br /> prevent erosion, to control weeds, and to keep them viable for <br /> reclamation. Fertilizer and other soil amendments may be used <br /> as discussed in this plan. <br /> RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br /> Reclamation will begin once enough area has been opened so <br /> that any reclamation completed will not be disturbed as mining <br /> progresses . This may take 5 or more years depending on the <br /> economic conditions in the area and the amount of material mined. <br /> The operator anticipates approximately 80% of the total mined <br /> land will be reclaimed by the time mining is completed. <br /> If revegetation problems occur before release, an analysis <br /> of the problem area will be done and the area will be revegetated <br /> again as necessary. The seed mixture and rates may be revised as <br /> needed to complete reclamation, if a substantial modification is <br /> required, the Division will be notified prior to making the <br /> change . This gives us the most flexibility to complete <br /> reclamation successfully. <br /> L G.Evenst, Inc. Ragsdale Reservoirs 25 May 5,2020 <br />
