8 <br /> Exhibit E <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> The plan of reclamation is to never have more than 33.5 acres disturbed, and begin reclamation <br /> to keep the cost of the bond and the disturbed area to a minimum. We will first work out of the <br /> mining area A East by removing stockpiles as they sell, and begin reclamation in 10 acre <br /> increments east to west. <br /> Timeline of Reclamation Area to be Worked <br /> Mining Area A East 33.5 Acres For approximately 12-24 months <br /> this area will continue to be <br /> mined for gravel and aggregates. <br /> Stockpiles are located along the <br /> eastern section of the disturbed <br /> area. <br /> Mining Area A West 25.5 Acres Once Stockpiles have been <br /> diminished in the Mining Area A <br /> East, mining activity will move <br /> into the Mining Area A West, and <br /> reclamation will begin moving <br /> from east to west in <br /> approximately 10 acres section. <br /> Mining activity in Mining Area A <br /> West would take 2-3 years at the <br /> current rate of sales and <br /> production. <br /> Mining Area B 16 Acres Mining activity in Area B will not <br /> begin for several years, upon the <br /> movement of stockpiled <br /> materials from Area A West and <br /> commencement of reclamation <br /> activity on that parcel. <br /> Extraction from Exhibit E page 6 of Four X Ranch Gravel Pit application: <br /> "The affected land will be partially reclaimed when approximately fifty percent of the" Mining <br /> Areas listed above "have been mined. The remaining portion of the land will be reclaimed upon <br /> completion of the site for mining purposes. Reclamation of the land back to sustainable <br /> rangeland is a priority of the owner/operator as each acre of reclaimed rangeland provides an <br /> incremental increase in grazeable acreage. <br /> The maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes will be 3:1. Any waste rock will be used in grading <br /> final slopes for reclamation. <br /> Four(4)to 6 inches of topsoil is currently present on the site and will be stripped, stockpiled, <br /> and covered with manure to minimize erosion. <br /> The quality and fertility of stockpiled soil will not have changed significantly during stockpiling, <br /> however amendments will be applied if soil testing indicates nutrient deficiencies." <br /> Four X Ranch Gravel Pit amendment <br />
