EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan <br /> Reclamation will be of two methods... one for high wall slopes and one for low sloping pit floors. <br /> Both will be to promote revegetation to at least the native cover provided before mining. <br /> Slopes will be finished at 2:1 maximum during the phase of mining for each area.No hanging walls <br /> will be left for slope construction after mining is completed. Stiped overburden is stockpiles in berms <br /> above property perimeter slopes. This stored overburden along with added manure will be spread at a <br /> minimum of 4" on finished slopes to provide a growth medium. In low sloping areas,the slopes will <br /> be at approximately 1%to allow surface drainage and will be covered with at least 3" of fine-grained <br /> material with manure for growth. <br /> Approximately 100,000cy of overburden is stockpiled to date.After mining is complete and all <br /> slopes are to grade,it is estimated that 30,000cy of material is needed to provide a 4" cover over the <br /> approximately 50 acres of stripped surface.Ditches and ponds will be filled as required but will not <br /> disturb drainage patterns for future land uses. It is assumed that all of the reclaimed property will be <br /> developed as industrial/commercial as currently zoned to conform with other Smeltertown <br /> properties. <br /> In total,approximately 100 acres of disturbed area will be reclaimed with reseeding. Half will be <br /> treated with topsoil and half will rely on the exiting topsoil. All areas will be treated with manure at <br /> the rate of 50 tons per acre(5,000 total tons)and 13-13-13 commercial fertilizer at the rate of 200 <br /> pounds per acre(10 total tons). Seed beds will be prepared by disc and harrow. Seed will be a blend <br /> of Sodar Streambank Wheatgrass,Rosanna Western Wheatgrass and Critana Thickspike Wheatgrass <br /> drilled at 8 pounds per acre each(2,400 total pounds).Fertilizer and seed blend will be as confirmed <br /> by CSU Extension Agent at the time. Fertilizer will be compatible with grass blend selected. <br /> At this time,no buildings are intended to be removed. After reclamation,the site is meant to be used <br /> for industrial/commercial purposes. <br /> EXHIBIT F Reclamation Plan Map(As per mining plan maps and schedules,Exhibit D) <br /> Features shown on this plan are to remain through reclamation.The pit floor will provide the acreage <br /> for development as shown in F2 which depends upon how deep mining goes before termination and <br /> reclamation. <br />
