EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN (CONT) <br /> will be complete for that area. For areas outside the slurry <br /> walls, they will be resoiled and then seeded during the next <br /> seasonal planting window. The MAP EXHIBIT F RECLAMATION PLAN MAP OPTION <br /> A and OPTION Bshow the sloping plan and how the areas around the <br /> reservoirs will be handled in this plan. The cross section on <br /> the Reclamation Maps, show the relationship between the gravel <br /> band, reservoir slope and revegetated areas . <br /> All reservoir bank sloping will be completed to the stated <br /> 3 : 1 slopes or flatter . All areas that are above the high water <br /> line, and are not being reclaimed as graveled areas or access <br /> roadways, will have an average of 6 12 inches of topsoil placed <br /> and prepped for seeding. All top soiled areas will be seeded with <br /> the seed mix described in this plan, and effective weed control <br /> measures will be implemented until the Phase is released from the <br /> permit area. The applicant requests that the establishment of <br /> full revegetation will not be required for permit acreage release <br /> if "reasonable assurance" that the development for the approved <br /> post mining land use will continue prior to establishing <br /> permanent vegetation. An example of "reasonable assurance" is a <br /> letter from the landowner (Cannon Land Company) stating they <br /> accept the reclamation "as is" and they plan to continue <br /> development of said reservoir and will be re disturbing some <br /> areas to install developed water storage reservoir operation <br /> facilities As mentioned in the Mining Plan, if the reservoir <br /> phase acreage is not released from the DRMS permit, and the <br /> landowner constructs developed water storage facilities that are <br /> not in this Reclamation Plan, then L.G. Everist will file a <br /> Technical Revision to incorporate the changes prior to asking for <br /> release of the area. <br /> RECLAMA TION PLAN FOR BACKFILL AREAS <br /> This section covers reclamation on the developed water <br /> storage reservoirs in Phase 1A, 4A, 4B, AND 5A. The 4 areas have <br /> commercial deposits of gravel but are too small or too shallow to <br /> develop as water storage reservoirs . The Mining Plan calls for <br /> leaving the side slopes of these areas graded 3h to lv when <br /> mining ends to leave a stable slope during backfilling and so <br /> they would not have to be graded if backfilling does not fill <br /> them completely. The backfill material will be excess <br /> overburden, and site generated inert materials, including the <br /> fines generated during processing of the raw sand and gravel . At <br /> any given time, backfilling may be taking place on 2 or more <br /> Phases as shown on the MAP EXHIBIT C-1 - MINING PLAN MAP. <br /> L.G. Everist, Inc.
