EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1 . Introduction <br /> One of the purposes of this amendment is to change the primary future land use of the site from <br /> pastureland to industrial/commercial. This change will accommodate a planned asphalt and <br /> concrete recycling operation, Newby Aggregate Recycling. The project will consist of two main <br /> areas: the Production Area and the Storage Area. The Production Area (12 acres) will be on the <br /> west side of the site and is where material is delivered to the site and recycled. The Storage <br /> Area (14 acres) will be where long-term product storage of material will take place and will <br /> consist of stockpiles and a road for customers. There are currently five acres of disturbed <br /> ground in the permit area, with the remainder of the currently permitted 30 acres being <br /> undisturbed or already reclaimed. This is the worse-case reclamation scenario for the Newby <br /> Aggregate Recycling facility. The five acres of currently disturbed ground is within the foot print <br /> of the planned Production Area, therefore construction of the Production Area and conversion of <br /> that portion of the permit area from a primary final use of pastureland to a primary final use of <br /> industrial/commercial will not lead to an increase in the size of the permit area requiring <br /> revegetation. <br /> This exhibit describes the plans and processes involved in reclaiming the site and transforming <br /> it to its ultimate post-mining use as an industrial/commercial area and rangeland as shown on <br /> Map F-1. Topsoil stripped in order to create the industrial/commercial area will be used to <br /> reclaim areas not yet fully revegetated if required. Final reclamation of the permit area will occur <br /> after the construction of all industrial/commercial activities. Current use of the permit area is that <br /> of a rangeland. Final use of the permit area, after this amendment is proposed to be rangeland <br /> and industrial/commercial. Pursuant to Rule 6.4.5.2.(b), the applicant evaluated the proposed <br /> post-mining land use in regard to adopted state and local land use plans for this area and land <br /> uses in the vicinity. The proposed post-mining use as a rangeland and an industrial/commercial <br /> area is compatible with the general character of the area. The use of the reclaimed portions of <br /> the permit area for an industrial/commercial purpose is that of an aggregate recycling center, <br /> approved through an Eagle County Special Use Permit (SUP). Therefore, a plan for rangeland <br /> revegetation of the industrial/commercial areas is not included. <br /> The affected area of this site is the same as the permit area of this site, 30.0 acres, not all of <br /> which will be disturbed and require reclamation. The table below provides a summary of <br /> intended end uses within the affected area upon completion of reclamation as proposed on Map <br /> F-1. <br /> Carol Ann Pit <br /> November 2021 E-1 Lewicki&Associates <br />
