18 <br /> Exhibit E: Reclamation <br /> i. Reclamation plan: No permanent structures are located on BLM property. <br /> ii. The edges of the mining area will be mined to a 2:1 - 3:1 leaving a roughed in slope that <br /> will require minimal effort for knockdown and shaping. In the North West corning of the <br /> mining area there will be about 7.05 acres of 3:1 that will require minimal knock down <br /> and shaping with a dozer. See Map F1. We will utilize incoming clean fill dirt to help <br /> make and maintain 3:1 slope like we have done in past reclamation. <br /> iii. Tie existing grades together to create a nice rolling landscape. <br /> iv. The pit floor will not be reclaimed until the very end of the pit's life, since its currently <br /> being used as a stockpile area. In the mining area there will be about 25.12 acres of pit <br /> floor that will require pit floor ripping with a dozer and shaping. We will rip the rip floor, <br /> and place 3"-12" of overburden on top. See Map F1 <br /> v. Storm water in the current permitted area will drain to the west into our new sediment <br /> pond in Salebarn Canyon. Reference Map D4 & D6. <br /> vi. The southwest corner of the mining area will have about 1.44 acres of 3:1 slopes that <br /> will be shaped with a dozer. See Map F1 <br /> vii. The current stockpile area in the center of the affected land will require a dozer to rip <br /> and shape the 36.01 acres of pit floor. See Map F2 <br /> viii.In the South east corner of the affected land area, there will be need for a dozer to <br /> knockdown and shape the existing dirt backhaul slopes from 1:1 to a 3:1. <br /> ix. BLM approved seed will be hand broadcasted @ 22.6 pounds per acre. <br /> x. The end reclaimed area will be rolling grass fields on the BLM property. <br /> xi. The private land owned by Gilleland Enterprises will then be turned into commercial <br /> real-estate lots. <br /> xii. All storm water measures will stay in place from drainages to sediment ponds. <br /> xiii.Various machines will be used during the reclamation process: dozer, excavator, loader, <br /> haul trucks, dump trucks to reacclimate the remainder of the slopes and pit floor. <br /> xiv.There is no irrigation, we will have to rely on weather to germinate the seeds. This may <br /> take 2 seasons for the seed to take off. In the event that the seed does no take off we <br /> will have to reseed. <br /> xv. The main access road will stay in place after mining and reclamation has finished. <br />
