EXHIBIT E <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> EAST BRADBURY PIT <br /> The sides of the pit will be sloped at 3 horizontal to 1 vertical from the existing ground <br /> level to the pit floor.The floor of the pit will slope from east to west at approximately <br /> one percent to the southwest comer where mining was terminated under the existing <br /> permit. See Exhibit F. <br /> Overburden will be used to backfill slopes around the perimeter of the pit.The salvaged <br /> topsoil will be distributed over the side slopes and the pit floor to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. <br /> The disturbed areas will be seeded using the seed recommendations of the NRCS. See <br /> attached seed recommendation. The seed will be drilled and mulched. Seeding will be <br /> done in the fall to take advantage of winter moisture. <br /> The above described reclamation will be completed as the mining progresses with <br /> seeding being done in the fall.The estimated time to complete final reclamation is 2 to 3 <br /> years after mining has been completed and all processed material has been removed from <br /> the site.This amount of time will be required to establish the vegetation which is <br /> dependent on the amount of moisture received in any given year. <br /> The haul road from the pit to Highway 50 will remain in place to provide access to the <br /> various parcels. <br /> The post mining land use will be grazing which is compatible with surrounding land use. <br /> The following will address the requirements of Section 3.1.5: <br /> (1) Final topography will be appropriate for grazing which is the final land use. <br /> (2) Backfilling of the slopes will be compacted using conventional compaction <br /> equipment.There will be no toxic or acid-forming material on site. <br /> (3) The area will be graded to contain surface runoff with in the mined area. <br /> (4) Backfilling will be completed as soon as the mining has been completed in the <br /> area being mined. <br /> (5) N/A. <br /> (6) N/A. <br /> (7) The maximum slopes within the pit will be 3:1 which are compatible with ridges <br /> adjacent to the pit. <br /> (8) N/A. <br /> (9) At this time,no offsite material will be used for backfill. <br /> (10) Surface drainage from the mined area will remain within the mined area. <br /> (11)There are no materials to be mined that would pollute the ground water. <br />
