EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> GENERAL CONCEPT (6.4.5(2)a.) <br /> Reclaim the operation as non-irrigated grazing land or continued use to produce materials for the Dutton Ranch only. <br /> In general, replace soil stripped from mined areas and convert to grassland initially; use processing fines, overburden, <br /> and some construction debris to backfill and shape to final post-mining grade. Retain some roads (as discussed in <br /> Exhibit D) for future access to all portions of the site. (See acreages in Table E-1.) This reclamation plan is in <br /> accordance with existing pre-mining land use and land use in the surrounding area;the site and all surrounding property <br /> is zoned by Archuleta County as"Agricultural Ranch, Estate, or Forestry." <br /> Objective: to reclaim land affected by excavation "as you go" and create a stable topography and biological <br /> community to sustain the proposed post-mining use of the land and protect downstream water quality and quantity.As <br /> much as possible, as they are mined, soil and excess fines will be stockpiled and easily moved to their permanent <br /> locations as part of the reclamation. Some affected land (plant area, roads, stockpile areas)will not be reclaimed until <br /> the end of a phase or end of the project. Roads are designed to be located and constructed properly both for mining <br /> and post-mining use as access to portions of the site and areas off-site. This will reduce reclamation requirements. <br /> TABLE E-1 SUMMARY OF RECLAMATION AREAS <br /> Area Acres Disturbance/Excavation Reclamation Reclam.

NOTE:All years based on anticipated annual demand. <br /> 1. A residual plant area(Al)will have room for stockpiles of pitrun,construction materials,soil,and for small crushing and <br /> screening plant:2.5 acres.Exact configuration of that area will be determined at end of project. <br /> 2. About''/2 of the Plant Area(6-8 acres)will remain open for ranch use only,with a soil/overburden stockpiles,and material <br /> which can be excavated.A possible location is shown on Map D-1 but the exact location and configuration of that area <br /> will be determined near end of project.Intent is to provide 45,000—50,000 CY of reserves for future Ranch use. <br /> 3. Following mining of Phase I and Phase 2, narrow strips of land (estimated 30-50 feet wide) along the perimeter may <br /> remain without full reclamation,to allow access to other areas being mined and to be mined:to be reclaimed later. <br /> 4. Various roads (Map D-1) will remain as permanent after-reclamation features in accordance with Landowner <br /> requirements.Final alignments subject to change at end of each phase and the project,based on landowner decisions. <br /> COMPARISON OF LAND USE (6.4.5.(2)b.) <br /> We believe that the proposed post-mining use conforms to present and planned land use for the area. The official <br /> zoning classification by the County for the site(Agricultural Estate/Ranching,AE/AR)will continue after mining is <br /> finished. There are no state or tribal land use plans,to our knowledge. <br /> TABLE E-2.AREA LAND USES <br /> Area Zoning and description I>uE R...hA... <br /> To north Agricultural Ranching(private land:The ZONING <br /> �3 <br /> Rendezvous Planned Unit Development PUD '�� ■R aching <br /> To east Agricultural Estate/Ranching(private land) <br /> Stevens Lake and Airport to SE t�statWe.�"I <br /> E <br /> To Agricultural Ranching with some residential use U5 G° (US <br /> south (private land)and one industrial site <br /> hil <br /> To west Agricultural Forestry: National Forest System �-1c.hhm— <br /> (NFS)lands,Agricultural-Estate/Ranching with <br /> some PUD and other residential use(private �I °'r' <br /> Frwn Archuleta <br /> land).
