EXHIBIT E—Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5) • 8. Phase 2 Area— What is the estimated volume of topsoil needed to reclaim the slopes around the pond and what depth will topsoil be placed? ➢ Response: ✓ To the best of our knowledge topsoil has been placed on all of the Phase 2 area at-an average depth of 6 inches. The topsoil in place will remain in place and simply regraded and reseeded to the approved seed mix. • 9. Phase 2 Area—Please clearly show on a map the areas that require grading and topsoil placement? ➢ Response: ✓ Please see the revised Reclamation Plan Map F-1 • 10. Phase 2 Area— Where is the proposed source of topsoil and what methods will used to transport the topsoil. ➢ Response: ✓ Topsoil: As stated above, we have already applied the required topsoil to Phase Two. The area needs some minor grading, seedbed preparation and seeding. ✓ In addition, we may need to apply soil amendments based on the site specific soil test already provided to the DRMS. ✓ The total area in Phase 2 which received replaced topsoil is approximately 19.0 acres. • 11. Phase 2 Area -Does the operator anticipate that topsoil stockpiles located in the Phase 2 Area will be used for reclamation in other phases?If so,please describe how these areas will be reclaimed. ➢ Response: ✓ We have identified six topsoil piles on-site. The estimated cubic yards in each topsoil stockpile are as follows: ❖ Phase 2, north of the reservoir, equals an estimated 51,000 cyds. ❖ The pile north of the Phase 2 reservoir and just west of Phase 1, equals approximately 3,348 cyds. ✓ Topsoil Removal Reclamation: ❖ Each Phase which has backfill material removed will involve first stripping and stockpiling or direct haul of the topsoil to the area needing topsoil replacement ❖ Once available overburden has been removed, the area will have the topsoil replaced, the seedbed will be prepared by disking and harrowing, as needed. 13
