EXHIBIT E <br /> (B) A Comparison of The Proposed Post Mining Land Use. <br /> Table E.(B).1,compares post-mining land use,including rangeland,wildlife habitat,and renewable energy. State Land <br /> Board has expressed that Wildlife Habitat as the intended post mining use. <br /> See section 6.4.6, EXHIBIT F-Reclamation Plan Maps,for more information on post-mining land use and related maps. <br /> TABLE E.(B).1 <br /> Post Mining Use Purpose <br /> Rangeland Livestock grazing and Restores vegetation and soil,risk of erosion Benefits through livestock,supports Sustainable with proper <br /> foraging and habitat destruction if overgrazed rural economies management and conservation <br /> practices <br /> Wildlife Habitat Preserving and enhancing Positive for biodiversity and ecological balance Potential ecotourism,hunting,limited Highly sustainable,contributes to <br /> habitat for wildlife direct economic benefits long-term environmental health <br /> (C) The Reclamation Plan <br /> Reclamation at the West Side Placer will be a continuous process. This involves: Boundry GPS surveys and flagging. Photo <br /> documentation of pre-mining state,stockpiling topsoil,mining,returning ore to the active mining block,contouring, <br /> reapplying topsoil,seeding,and monitoring.AuPt Industries has already successfully implemented reclamation under their <br /> 110-2 permit with excellent results. <br /> The mining operation is structured into distinct stages,each critical to the overall project. <br /> 1.0 Initial Reclamation Planning: Site Surveys and Mining Block Preparation <br /> Activities that take place before mining of any ground. <br /> Reclamation Step Time Of Expected Time-frame Key Activities and Details Equipment Personnel Deliverables/Outcomes <br /> Year <br /> 1.1 Site Survey Year round 3 Weeks st the Photographic GPS Survey GPS technician and Photos and GPS information <br /> commencement of the documentation of site.
