EXHIBIT E: The Revised Reclamation Plan <br /> (Technical Revision #3 - June 2022) <br /> CONDENSATION OF THE PLAN <br /> The following presents the highpoints of each of the portions of the Revised Reclamation Plan. This is <br /> intended to be used as a quick reference to the main points under each category and heading of the <br /> rest of this plan. These condensations are not intended to present the whole plan. They are just brief <br /> summary descriptions of the contents of the plan. Please refer to the same titled section in the <br /> detailed plan for a complete description of what is to occur. <br /> Purpose and Land Use Goal of the Reclamation <br /> 1. By law, reclamation plans revolve around the selection of a proposed final land use for <br /> the land. The purpose of this reclamation plan is to control erosion and return the land <br /> to a stable condition with a grazing final land use without any water bodies. <br /> 2. The grazing final land use may never actually occur,but that is the most flexible land <br /> use for a large parcel of land that is next to land that is rapidly shifting to industrial <br /> uses. <br /> 3. In the unlikely event no other use is ever found then at least the land will be <br /> revegetated and potentially available for cattle production. <br /> General Description of the Final Reclaimed Land <br /> 1. When completed the area mined will be a large tract of land that will be lowered about <br /> 45 to 50 feet below the surrounding land, but will open into the valley to the south on <br /> its south end. The entire area will be about 1.75 miles long and about 0.5 mile wide. <br /> 2. The sides of this depressed land(open basin)will be sloped to 3:1 or less steep. <br /> 3. A small amount of localized sub-irrigation in the gravel that will remain on the floor of <br /> the basin will help to maintain a good vegetation growth that should, in time, exhibit a <br /> lot of diversity in composition. <br /> Fountain Pit Technical Revision#3 - June 2022 M-1982-155 Reclamation Plan Page 1 of 23 <br />
