i <br /> EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN(CONT) <br /> eradication of weeds from the site is not necessarily desirable or <br /> possible, so we will be using stronger controls on the noxious weeds <br /> and controlling the rest as needed. Weed control may be done through <br /> mowing or chemical means . Control of noxious weeds is important to <br /> the state, so we will follow USDA Extension Service recommendations <br /> to control them. Our Weed Control Plan is included in the APPENDIX. <br /> IRRIGATION <br /> No irrigation is planned for the revegetated area around the <br /> reservoirs . It makes the vegetation dependent on water and does not <br /> promote a vegetation cover that is diverse and capable of <br /> self-regeneration. <br /> RECLAMATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> (The following information is presented to address specific parts or <br /> Rule 3 as required by the MLRB Rules and Regulations. ) <br /> L.G. Everist, Inc. intends to operate the mine in compliance with <br /> the Reclamation Performance Standards of Rule 3 . Grading will be <br /> done to create a final topography that is compatible with the intended <br /> final land use. <br /> will lee efraeieEi fflinedto }he `i al slepes . These slopes will be 3 : 1 <br /> or shallower and on the unmined areas they will remain in their current <br /> configuration in an attempt to retain the present drainage pattern <br /> across the property as much as possible . <br /> A mine entrance sign that conforms to the requirements in Rule <br /> 3 . 1 . 12 (1996) will be installed at the entrance to this facility prior <br /> to commencement of mining. <br /> The material used to create the slopes will be native material <br /> found on the site . It will consist of sand, gravel, overburden and <br /> topsoil . The Phases will be reclaimed so that a suitable grade for <br /> drainage exists . All surface runoff within the mine site will be <br /> directed into the excavated area, and all surface runoff outside of <br /> the permitted area will be allowed to flow into natural existing <br /> drainages outside the site . <br /> All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and to <br /> protect areas outside the affected lands . All backfilling and <br /> grading will be completed as soon as feasible after mining is <br /> completed. <br /> All refuse will be hauled away or disposed of in a manner that <br /> will control unsightliness and protect drainage systems from <br /> pollution. <br /> L.G.
