EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> This information provided in this Exhibit is intended to satisfy the requirements <br /> outlined in Section 6.4.5 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board <br /> Construction Material Rules and Regulations: The proposed mining and <br /> reclamation plan focuses on minimizing the ecological impacts of mining, <br /> minimizing the length of time of impact, and maximizing long-term benefits. <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> The previously approved reclamation plan for the two mining areas (West and East) <br /> remains the same. The amended off-site conveyor route will be reclaimed as uplands <br /> meadow and agricultural. Reclamation activities have been coordinated with the property <br /> owners and are intended to meet the proposed final land use. <br /> Aggregate Industries (Al) has set forth measures that will be taken to meet performance <br /> standards for the following requirements: <br /> (1) Grading shall be completed to create a final topography appropriate to the final land <br /> use selected in the Reclamation Plan. <br /> (2) Overburden and waste materials will be placed in the mined area in a manner to <br /> ensure adequate compaction for stability and to prevent leaching of toxic or acid-forming <br /> materials. <br /> (3) All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and siltation of the affected <br /> lands, to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other damage. <br /> (4) All backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining <br /> process. Al has established reasonable timetables consistent with good mining and <br /> reclamation procedures. <br /> (5) There is no anticipated refuse, acid-forming or toxic producing materials associated <br /> with this site. <br /> (6) Any drill or auger holes that are part of the mining operation will be plugged with non- <br /> combustible material, which shall prevent harmful or polluting drainage. There are no <br /> adits or shafts associated with this site. <br /> (7) Maximum slopes and slope combinations will be compatible with the configuration of <br /> surrounding conditions and selected land use. In all cases where a lake or pond is <br /> produced as a portion of the Reclamation Plan, all slopes, shall be no steeper than a <br /> ratio of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical ratio). There is no swimming associated with the end <br /> use of this property. <br /> (8) Future agricultural use is anticipated along the Weld County portion of the conveyor <br /> alignment. Native topsoil will remain or be returned to this area of the conveyor in a <br /> manner that historic crop yields can be maintained. <br /> Aggregate Industries—Tucson South Amendment—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit E-1 <br />
