Page 110 <br /> 6.4.5 EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan <br /> increase the other long-term values for everyone in the area communities <br /> formed by the towns of Evans and Milliken; and greater Weld County. <br /> The final acreage of land remaining for development relative to surface acres <br /> of resulting ponds is illustrated on the following Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan <br /> Map. The map details the post resource recovery land form establishment. <br /> The size of the resulting basins is a function of area geology and available <br /> resource relative to man-made obstructions that serve to prohibit a greater <br /> linkage. <br /> 'Exhibit F presents Raptor Material's current expectation of the remaining above- <br /> ground and underground structures within the Affected Area at the point the <br /> reclamation of mining related disturbance is complete. Any revisions, additions, <br /> or modifications to this forecast of what maybe the outcome of mining and <br /> reclamation operations some 30-35± years from now will be updated on <br /> required Annual Reports, or by Technical Revision, as warranted, or as <br /> otherwise directed consistent with Colorado Statute. <br /> The estimated timetable for extraction, commencing approximately spring to <br /> winter 2023; is estimated to take 23-28± years combined, or longer, followed by <br /> an additional five years to complete reclamation; or a total estimated life of the <br /> mine of 28-33± years; ending approximately winter 2051 to 2056. This is a life of <br /> the mine operation and all timetables are estimates and may prove shorter or <br /> longer than stated. The final determination will occur five years after the deposit <br /> is exhausted and all marketable product has been removed and necessary infill <br /> completed at the location to the point of final reclamation as approved or <br /> modified under the terms of the permit is completed. <br /> 5Table E-1 provides a projection of mine development and regrading/reclamation. <br /> The plan as described in Exhibit D and above in this Exhibit E, is a forecast and may <br /> vary according to market conditions with mining and subsequent regrading <br /> occurring faster or slower, sometimes significantly so. The geology may also dictate <br /> changes in the rate of extraction. If efficiency demands in a higher production <br /> demand scenario, separate areas could be developed in the manner described in <br /> Exhibit D simultaneously. Such changes may happen quickly and would be <br /> addressed in the Annual Report. <br /> Miscellaneous considerations: <br /> Fertilizer maybe utilized as part of revegetation efforts. The need for <br /> fertilization and any subsequent fertilizer rates will be determined <br /> based upon soil tests taken at the time of reapplication of salvaged soil <br /> 4 Adequacy Item 41 <br /> 5 Adequacy Item 29 <br /> VARRA COMPANIES, INC.
