ESTON <br /> CONCRETE INC. <br /> Exhibit E: Reclamation Plan <br /> The post mining land use in the existing reclamation plan that was approved in 1997 is allotted <br /> for"industrial usage." We do not intend to change the post mining land use nor change any of <br /> the approved reclamation plan. All guidelines created within the approved plan from 1997 shall <br /> continue to be adhered to. <br /> Leftover material generated from processing operations within the property will continue to be <br /> utilized for reclamation. As well as the vast amount of overburden the pit produces. The existing <br /> reclamation plan is working and has worked well since it was approved and it is not our intention <br /> to rewrite the plan. <br /> In regard to reclamation of the wash plant, we intend to set the plant up as a"portable operation." <br /> We do not plan on taking the plant elsewhere at any point in time, however we will set it up on <br /> blocks; similar to the way a portable operation would be. This would allow it to be brought back <br /> down and pulled away with a semi-tractor if need be. <br /> The other added components will be stackers/conveyors for material discharge handling and a <br /> surge bin. These will be a-typical; nothing out of the ordinary. We plan on installing a belt to <br /> feed the wash plant from the surge bin. Another set of belt systems for the sand, one for the 1/4" x <br /> ``/z"rock, as well as the ``'A" x 3/4" clean rock. There will be nine conveyor belts total within the <br /> entire wash plant set up. All of which will be positioned on either legs or concrete cribbing <br /> blocks. <br /> We will be adding a pond to create a location to discharge the reject material generated from the <br /> washing procedure. The process-water pond will be one pond linked together with a series of <br /> earthen dikes to allow reject material the opportunity to settle out of the water. We will pull clean <br /> water back off the furthest away location in the pond and recycle it back through the wash plant <br /> for processing. Allowing us the privilege to recycle & re-use as much of the water as possible. <br /> Thereby creating a closed loop recycling system. The pond will be located to the North of the <br /> wash plant and lay on the property in a South-West to North-East fashion. <br /> The pond is approximately 500' long, 25' wide, and roughly 10' deep. However, the full depth is <br /> achieved by berm height. We excavated a hole approximately 5' deep from the grade of the <br /> quarry floor. The material we pulled out of the hole was used to create a berm around the <br /> perimeter of the pond on the North side thereby adding height to the overall depth of the pond. <br /> The berm height is approximately 5' above the grade of the quarry floor. The South side depth is <br /> naturally created due to the existing contours of the land. It is sort of dug into the bank. <br /> When the time comes to fill the pond in, the way we have created the berm around the perimeter <br /> allows us the privilege of simply pushing the berm in. The material around the perimeter is the <br /> same material that was pulled from the excavated hole to create the pond, so simply shoving it <br /> back into the open hole will be a quick and easy process. No material will need to be hauled in <br /> 902 South Union Street Florence, Co. 81226 (719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
