EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN(CONT) <br /> ceases before the resource is exhausted, only a minor amount of <br /> work would have to be done to finish reclamation on the disturbed <br /> area. The temporary topsoil and overburden stockpiles in the <br /> various mining phases will be available for reclamation needs . <br /> Armoring in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 will progress with <br /> sloping, so no more than 1000 feet will need to be completed at <br /> any time. No armoring will be done along the Irrigation Return <br /> flow trench south of CR 35 . 5 . The BANK ARMORING PLAN is in the <br /> APPENDIX and explains how and where the armoring will be placed. <br /> There are no plans to install Inlets or Outlets for the reser- <br /> voirs . Those will be the responsibility of the reservoir devel- <br /> opers . LGE will be working with the Town of Platteville for <br /> directions on Flood Plain development . This facility is not in <br /> an Urban Area, not near public land, or facilities where public <br /> safety is a concern so, inlet/outlet structures for private <br /> reservoirs are not needed. <br /> When grading and shaping is completed on a large section of <br /> reservoir banks, the areas above the high water line will be <br /> resoiled and then seeded during the next seasonal planting win- <br /> dow. The EXHIBITF-RECLAMATIONPLANMAP shows the sloping plans, where <br /> armoring will be installed, the area to be revegetated and areas <br /> that will be reservoirs in this plan. <br /> All reservoir bank sloping will be completed to the stated <br /> 3 : 1 slopes or flatter. All areas that are above the high water <br /> line, and are not being reclaimed as graveled access roadways, <br /> will have an average of 10-12 inches of soil placed and prepped <br /> for seeding. All top soiled areas will be seeded with the seed <br /> mix described in this plan, and effective weed control measures <br /> will be implemented until the Phase is released from the permit <br /> area. <br /> GENERAL DISCUSSION <br /> There are sufficient amounts of topsoil on the site so the <br /> mined areas can be resoiled to an average depth of 10-12 inches . <br /> Sufficient topsoil will be saved for use in reclamation. The <br /> available topsoil to be salvaged from the stripping process will <br /> preclude having to haul additional soils onto the site for <br /> revegetation. The existing soils on the property have been <br /> capable of producing healthy crops and grasses and are expected <br /> to work well for revegetation of mined areas . <br /> The vegetation information was obtained from site visits and <br /> data provided in the NRCS Web Soil Survey page. A copy of that <br /> report is in EXHIBITIANDJand describes the current soils and vege- <br /> tation on the properties in more detail . <br /> L.G.
