EXHIBIT E
RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE
Amendment0l. The amendment to the Reclamation Plan involves
the five (5) changes that were listed in the Mining Plan, and as
explained in further detail below.
The methods described and approved in the original Reclamation
Plan will remain unchanged unless discussed in this text . Where
appropriate, the Reclamation Plans and Timetables have been
revised to reflect the proposed changes and update the current
conditions at the mine.
The amendment will follow MLRB Rule 1 . 8 and Colorado Revised
Statutes, 1992, Section 34 32 112 (8) .
ExPANSION- The addition of the areas in Phase 1 and Phase 2
will not increase the reclamation responsibility in either stage.
The 18 . 72 acres added along the west side of both phases was to
move the permit boundary to a location that uses a land form
(existing landowner' s berm) which will be an easily definable
boundary line that is not be crossed. The small area that covers
where the under drain enters the river corridor was sized to
leave access to the drain and outlet if needed. If any portions
of this area are disturbed, it will be reclaimed.
PHASE2A REMOVAL- this has no effect on the reclamation plan as
it is incorporated into Phase 2 and will be reclaimed with that
Phase.
The 7 . 90 acres of conveyor corridor added to Phase 3' s total
area, and located between Phases 3 and 4 is on land owned by
Cannon Land Company. The disturbance will be confined to an
existing access road and small areas around the conveyor facility
support columns and footings . Of the 7 . 90 acres, less than 1 . 0
acre will be disturbed during construction and removal of the
support pilings . The existing dirt road will remain when the
area is reclaimed.
UNDERDRAIN- The under drain is contained in the areas to be
reclaimed in Phases 1 and 2, except for the small area west of
those stages . This area has been graded and seeded so no
reclamation is needed. The clean out and inspection hatches
located on the drain pipe will remain to facilitate maintenance
of the drain by the reservoir owners (Cannon Land Co . ) .
RESERVOIR RECLAMATION CHANGE- The change to the reclamation of the
reservoir perimeters is to change the reclamation practice of
resoiling and revegetation on the land between the high water
line and the slurry wall. Instead, gravel will be placed in the
area from the high water line to the slurry wall. The reservoir
access road will also be in these areas since no resoiling or
vegetation will be done . No soil cover will be put on the
armored areas but the voids between the riprap will be filled
with natural pit run material .
On the areas around the reservoirs, from the slurry wall out, any
disturbed area will be resoiled and seeded as currently approved.
