Exhibit E <br /> Page 14 <br /> (5) Topsoiling-Although "topsoil"has not been identified as being present within the Permit Area, soils <br /> that are present currently support vegetation and rangeland uses in their undisturbed or pre-mining state <br /> and can be considered suitable growth medium(refer to Exhibit I: Soils Information). Such soils are <br /> ubiquitously present across the extent of the Permit Area,typically exhibiting an approximately 8-inch <br /> root zone. Accordingly,CSC will pre-strip(salvage)this growth medium to a nominal depth of <br /> approximately 12inches at all locations of planned disturbance or"affected area". <br /> These pre-stripped volumes of growth medium will be either utilized in concurrent reclamation or, <br /> alternatively,be placed in interim stockpile storage locations as described in Item(d)above and Exhibit <br /> D: Mining Plan. For virtually all areas subject to disturbance, it is anticipated that replacement of the <br /> growth medium will occur to a nominal depth of 8 to 12 inches. Variability in replacement depth may <br /> result from a number of factors,to include undulations in topography,inherent equipment operational <br /> limitations, and/or a specific intent to vary the depth to address localized conditions.Nonetheless, on <br /> average,the minimum depth is anticipated to range between 8-and 12-inches for the re-placed growth <br /> medium. <br /> Glossary <br /> CSC Colorado Sand Company II, LLC <br /> DRMS Division of Reclamation,Mining,and Safety <br /> LOM Life-of-mine <br /> PDS Process discard stockpile <br /> ROM Run-of-mine <br /> Colorado Sand Company II, LLC <br /> Kersey Mine Construction Material Regular(112)Operation Reclamation Permit Application <br /> June 7,2024 <br />
