EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> 1 . General Reclamation Plan <br /> The total disturbed area to be reclaimed under this permit is 83.5 acres. Reclamation plans can be <br /> viewed on Map F-1. The post-mining land use will be rangeland. All slopes will be reclaimed to <br /> 3H:1V or shallower. No more than 500 feet of highwall will remain unbackfilled at any time. As <br /> described in the mining plan, reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. Three areas will be in <br /> operation at any time: the active mining area, the mining area being reclaimed, and the main <br /> processing area in Area 1. <br /> Topsoil and overburden from the current mining area will be used to reclaim mined out areas. 12-15 <br /> inches of topsoil will be replaced on all graded areas. Prior to overburden placement, 1 H:1 V mining <br /> slopes will be knocked down to 2H:1 V slopes. Overburden will be replaced at an average depth of 4 <br /> feet beyond attaining a 3H:1 V slope. By reclaiming concurrently, the distance that the topsoil and <br /> overburden will have to be transported as well as the amount of material that will have to be <br /> rehandled will be minimized.Additionally, the acreage that is unreclaimed will be minimized and will <br /> make the worst-case reclamation smaller and thus, the bond will be smaller. <br /> An internal road will be left in place for the property owner to access and use the site following <br /> mining. The currently existing access to the property will be left in place for the landowners use as <br /> well. <br /> 2. Reclamation Timetable <br /> The time for reclamation is shown below—Table E-2. Exhibit L: Reclamation Costs describes the <br /> worst case bond scenario. <br /> Table E-2 Reclamation Timetable <br /> Task Description Reclamation Time <br /> Mine Area 1(mined out) 0 Years <br /> 2 Mine Area 2,reclaim portions of Area 1 8 Years <br /> 3, I Mine Area 3,reclaim Area 2 10 Years <br /> 4 Mine Area 4,reclaim Area 3 14 Years <br /> 51 Mine Area 5,reclaim Area 4 13 Years <br /> 6 Mine Area 6,reclaim Area 5 13 Years <br /> 7 Mine Area 7,reclaim Area 6 8 Years <br /> 8 Reclaim Area 7 and Processing Area 1 Years <br /> Tonal 67 Years <br /> Yevoli Cobblestone E-1 Lcwicki&Associates <br /> February 2023 <br />
