EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1. Introduction <br /> This exhibit describes the plans and processes involved in reclaiming the site and transforming <br /> it to its ultimate post-mining use as a rangeland and industrial/commercial area as shown on <br /> Map F-1. Reclamation will occur contemporaneously as portions of the permit area are mined. <br /> Final reclamation of the permit area will occur after the cessation of all mining activities. Current <br /> use of the permit area is that of a rangeland. Final use of the permit area is proposed to be <br /> rangeland and industrial/commercial. Pursuant to Rule 6.4.5.2.(b), the applicant evaluated the <br /> proposed post-mining land use in regards to adopted state and local land use plans for this area <br /> and land uses in the vicinity. The proposed post-mining use as a rangeland and an <br /> industrial/commercial area is compatible with the general character of the area. The use of the <br /> reclaimed portions of the permit area for an industrial/commercial purpose is planned for yet <br /> cannot be reasonably well assured. Therefore, a plan for rangeland revegetation of the <br /> industrial/commercial areas is included. <br /> The affected area of this site is the same as the permit area of this site, 319.8 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 /> Table E-1.

General Reclamation Plan <br /> Mining will take place to the final topography and slopes as shown on Map F-1. Rangeland <br /> reclamation will be conducted on final graded areas by covering them with 12 inches of topsoil <br /> and seeding with the seed mix found in Table E-3.
