EXHIBIT E <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> The proposed future use of this site is to return it to it' s <br /> existing use of rangeland. Mining will create a depression in <br /> the terrace deposit that depending on what Option is used will <br /> create an amphitheater in the Terrace deposit or daylight out the <br /> east side creating a continuous bench running east-west parallel <br /> to County Road 613 . The possibility of removing the side slopes <br /> between the adjoining mine on the east is very probable. This <br /> makes the reclamation plan very simple in that the mined area <br /> will have to be shaped, resoiled and revegetated with grass seed <br /> once mining is complete. Review of the two options shown on the <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN MAPS in this application depict how we believe the <br /> site will look once mining is complete. <br /> As noted in the MINING PLAN we are proposing two options for <br /> reclaiming the site in this amendment . The third option has been <br /> removed as it is not practical to mine through the western permit <br /> boundary. The method used to reclaim each option are the same, <br /> the difference in being the amount of sloping needed. In Option <br /> 1, the east and west sides will be developed leaving 3 : 1 slopes <br /> around the mined area as shown on the maps . <br /> In Option 2, the eastern slope will be removed so the floor <br /> of the adjoining mine will match the floor of this mine. The <br /> amount of resoiling and revegetation will remain the same as in <br /> Option 1 but the floor area will increase by approximately 0 . 41 <br /> acres ± if Option 2 is used. <br /> As mining progresses the slopes along the outside perimeter <br /> of the mining area will be graded 3 : 1 to stabilize them until it <br /> is time for resoiling and seeding by backfilling with reject <br /> materials or overburden. By creating the temporary slopes as <br /> mining progresses, we are reducing the amount of work necessary <br /> to reclaim the site as mining progresses . Depending on the <br /> timing as mining progresses to the eastern permit line that slope <br /> may be graded 2h to lv and seeded until it is mine out to blend <br /> the mine floors . A deal may also be consummated that allows the <br /> operator that reaches this line first to mine out both sides of <br /> the line and leave a 2h to lv slope on the other mine that would <br /> be removed when the later mining operation reaches the boundary. <br /> Since the temporary slopes along the working face will be <br /> steeper then their final grade, as mining progresses, only minor <br /> amounts of backfill or cut/fill sloping work will be necessary as <br /> mining ends . <br /> W5G- Hribar Pit Amendment December 2020 <br /> 13 <br />
