EXHIBIT E <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> Lined water storage reservoirs will be the final reclaimed use for the Sweet Valley Pit where it <br /> will become the Sweet Valley Reservoir Complex. Portions of mining area will be reclaimed as <br /> "native" areas, which will be re-seeded with native vegetation. The mining areas will be <br /> reclaimed as water storage reservoirs. The remaining area within the proposed permit boundary <br /> will consist of reservoir shoreline, unimproved access roads around the reservoirs, and <br /> reclaimed vegetated land. <br /> Final Land Use Reclamation <br /> Plan Area <br /> (acres) <br /> Reservoir Water Surface (North Cell) 32.23 <br /> Reservoir Water Surface (South Cell) 40.10 <br /> Access Roads (North Cell) 2.11 <br /> Access Roads (South Cell) 2.42 <br /> Reclaimed Vegetated Land (Disturbed Land 7.80 <br /> and Slopes above Reservoir Water Surface) <br /> (North Cell) <br /> Western Mutual Ditch 2.62 <br /> Existing Gravel Roads and Structures 6.22 <br /> Reclaimed Vegetated Land (Disturbed Land 12.67 <br /> and Slopes above Reservoir Water Surface) <br /> (South Cell) <br /> Reclaimed Vegetated Land (Disturbed Land 41.66 <br /> for Processing Area and Stockpiles) <br /> TOTAL 147.83 <br /> Water Storage Reservoir <br /> In general, the mining limits will be mined down to the claystone/sandstone bedrock. The <br /> relatively impermeable bedrock will make the bottom of the reservoir. The reservoir will be <br /> separated from the surrounding alluvial aquifer by the slurry wall liner system as detailed in the <br /> cross-section shown on the Reclamation Plan Map. The slurry wall liner will be keyed into the <br /> bedrock material and extend upward through the height of the alluvium to three feet above the <br /> reclaimed normal water surface elevation. Design specifications and quality control procedures <br /> used during the construction of the slurry wall liner will ensure that the reservoir meets the State <br /> Engineer's Office (SEO) performance standards for permeability. <br /> All reservoir slopes will be reclaimed to 3H:1V final grade. The cells will be mined at 3H:1V <br /> slopes. As the mining progresses, the final 3H:1V reclamation slopes will be shaped using a <br /> dozer. Final reclamation by capping with topsoil and re-vegetating above the expected reservoir <br /> water level will follow grading operations as well as backfilled areas that will not be haul/access <br /> roads to minimize the amount of disturbance at any one time. <br /> �)♦ Central Colorado Water Conservancy District <br /> J&T Consulting,Inc. <br /> Sweet Valley Pit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Application <br />
