6.4.5 Exhibit E <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> Reclamation to residential use will occur following mining at the site. Topsoil, waste <br /> rock, overburden and onsite berms will be utilized for reclamation. Throughout mined area, <br /> slopes will be graded at a 3H:1V or flatter. Waste rock and overburden will be placed on the pit <br /> floor as quantity allows. Four to six inches of topsoil will be replaced on affected surfaces. If <br /> necessary, surfaces will be roughened prior to cover seeding. <br /> Turkey Canon Quarry LLC will use the seed mix below if needed to stabilize soils prior to <br /> residential building begins. The seed will be drilled at X"to%" in depth and straw mulch will be <br /> crimped in. <br /> I bs. <br /> Species Pt S/Acre <br /> Western wheatgrass 6.4 <br /> Sidenats grams 1.8 <br /> Needle-and-thread .9 <br /> Little bluestem 1.8 <br /> Prairie sandreed 1 .8 <br /> Bluegrama 1.2 <br /> 13.9 <br /> All mining structures, including interior haul roads and stormwater diversion structures, <br /> will be reclaimed following all mining operations. <br /> Throughout the mining area,salvageable surface material will be used in final <br /> reclamation. Upon commencement of reclamation,the area will be monitored for noxious <br /> weeds. Turkey Canon Quarry LLC implement appropriate methods to manage weed growth <br /> and will work with the El Paso County Weed Control Program for recommendations in the <br /> event noxious weeds develop. <br /> Enclosed is the proposed drainage map showing how the material from the berms will <br /> be used to establish the grade. Onsite material is estimated to be sufficient for all reclamation <br /> activities with no need to import materials. <br /> Additionally, the residential land use concept maps are provided for additional <br /> information. Entech Engineering, Inc. has also provided a letter with their analysis of the berm <br /> removal process for final reclamation purposes. Their analysis indicates that no adjacent <br /> properties will be impacted due to this activity. A detailed reclamation cost estimation is <br /> attached for review. <br />
