EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN(coNT) <br /> will also ensure, that if mining ceases before the resource is <br /> exhausted, only a minor amount of work would have to be done to finish <br /> reclamation on the disturbed area. The temporary topsoil and <br /> overburden stockpiles in the various mining phases will be available <br /> for reclamation needs . <br /> Armoring in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 " eea}eei nertli of GR �32 . S) <br /> will progress with sloping so no more than 1000 feet <br /> will need to be completed at any time. No armoring will be done along <br /> the Irrigation Return flow trench south of CR 35 . 5 . The BANK ARMORING <br /> PLAN is in the APPENDIX and explains how and where the armoring will <br /> be placed. There are no plans to install Inlets or Outlets for the <br /> reservoirs . Those will be the responsibility of the reservoir <br /> developers . LGE will be working with the Town of Platteville for <br /> directions on Flood Plain development . This facility is not in an <br /> Urban Area, not near public land, or facilities where public safety <br /> is a concern so, inlet/outlet structures for private reservoirs are <br /> 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 resoiled <br /> and then seeded during the next seasonal planting window. The EXHIBIT <br /> F - RECLAMATION PLAN MAP shows the sloping plans, where armoring will be <br /> installed, the area to be revegetated and areas that will be <br /> reservoirs in this plan . <br /> All reservoir bank sloping will be completed to the stated 3 : 1 <br /> slopes or flatter. All areas that are above the high water line, and <br /> are not being reclaimed as graveled access roadways, will have an <br /> average of 10-12 inches of soil placed and prepped for seeding. All <br /> top soiled areas will be seeded with the seed mix described in this <br /> plan, and effective weed control measures will be implemented until <br /> the Phase is released from the permit area. <br /> GENERAL DISCUSSION <br /> There are sufficient amounts of topsoil on the site so the mined <br /> 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 capable <br /> of producing healthy crops and grasses and are expected to work well <br /> 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 report <br /> is in EXHIBIT I Arm J and describes the current soils and vegetation on <br /> the properties in more detail . <br /> L.G.
