EXHIBIT E <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> Upon completion of the mining in any cell, that cell bottom will be graded to prevent ponding of storm <br /> runoff.The headwalls will be reclaimed to a slope of no steeper than 3H:1 V. The topsoil from the next cell <br /> will be stripped and placed in the previous exhausted cell. The topsoil material will be compacted to 90% <br /> standard proctor. Upon completion of the placement and compaction of the topsoil the cell will be seeded <br /> with native grasses suitable for the area (per the vegetation and soils reports, the seed mixture shall be <br /> approximately 1.05 PLS per acre prairie sandreed, 0.84 PLS per acre little bluestem, 1.26 PLS per acre <br /> sideoats grama, 0.56 PLS per acre sand bluestem, and 0.88 PLS per acre western wheatgrass). Drilled <br /> seeding will be implemented and straw mulch will be applied to site. Finally, weed control to prevent <br /> noxious weeds will be sprayed at the time of seeding.Erosion control measures including silt fencing along <br /> both sides of the creek as well as the mulch and weed control will continue to be maintained until the grasses <br /> are established over 60% of the ground surface. This process will be repeated for each cell as they are <br /> depleted and the next cell opened. Upon depletion of the last cell the topsoil that was removed and <br /> stockpiled in the first cell will be used to cover the final cell in the same manner outlined above. <br /> Upon completion of the reclamation of the final cell, or if it becomes financially infeasible to continue <br /> mining this property,Kiewit will remove the creek crossing used during the mining operations and reclaim <br /> that area in similar methods to cell reclamation. The culvert will be removed from the site and the fill <br /> material used at the crossing will be used for reclamation elsewhere on site. The stream bed in the area <br /> where the culvert was installed will be restored to native preinstallation condition. All construction and <br /> crushing equipment will be removed from the site. Kiewit or it is successors will remain legally and <br /> financially responsible for final decommissioning of the site. Once vegetation is established, the BMP's <br /> will be removed and all security held by the County and or the DRMS will be released back to Kiewit. <br /> See Sheet F-1 for the reclamation plan map with the anticipated topography following reclamation. <br /> Contours for Cells 1 through 3 were derived based on the depth of the resource as determined in the <br /> Terracon report. Contours for Cells 4 through 13 were derived assuming the cells would be mined to a <br /> depth of 12' BSG;the actual depth of mining will vary depending on the depth of the resource encountered <br /> in these cells. All headwalls will be sloped to 3H:1V upon reclamation as specified in this reclamation <br /> plan. <br /> Kiewit will reclaim the site to rangeland in order to be consistent with the current use of the land and <br /> surrounding land uses. <br /> Kiewit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Application <br /> Page E-1 <br />
