EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN (CONT) <br /> IRRIGATION <br /> No irrigation is planned for the revegetated area around the <br /> reservoirs . It makes the vegetation dependent on water and does <br /> not promote a vegetation cover that is diverse and capable of <br /> self regeneration. On cropland areas, irrigation may be used by <br /> the landowners . <br /> RECLAMA TION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> (The following information is presented to address specific parts <br /> or Rule 3 as required by the MLRB Rules and Regulations. ) <br /> The operator intends to mine the property in compliance with <br /> the RECLAMATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OF RULE 3. Grading will be done to <br /> create a final topography that is compatible with the intended <br /> final land use. The slope in the developed water storage <br /> reservoirs will be mined to their final slopes . These slopes <br /> will be 3 : 1 and on the backfilled areas we will attempt to retain <br /> the present drainage pattern across the property. <br /> A mine entrance sign that conforms to the requirements in <br /> Rule 3 . 1 . 12 (1996) has been installed at the entrance to this <br /> facility. <br /> The material used to create the slopes will be native <br /> material found on the site. It will consist of sand, gravel, <br /> overburden and topsoil. The Phases will be reclaimed so that a <br /> suitable grade for drainage exists . All surface runoff will be <br /> directed into the excavated area or natural existing drainages <br /> around the site. <br /> All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and <br /> to protect areas outside the affected lands . All backfilling and <br /> grading will be completed as soon as feasible after mining is <br /> completed. All refuse will be hauled away or disposed of in a <br /> manner that will control unsightliness and protect drainage <br /> systems from pollution. There are no acid forming or toxic <br /> materials inherent in the sand and gravel deposit . If petroleum <br /> products stored at the site for mining equipment and operations, <br /> is being stored as prescribed by applicable laws . Any storage <br /> tanks will be surrounded by a berm or be of the latest <br /> construction, and is adequate to contain any fluid spilled, <br /> should a tank rupture. In addition, there is adequate absorbent <br /> materials on site to contain any spills that would occur. There <br /> are no drill or auger holes on the land. Maximum slopes will be <br /> within the limits set forth in the Rules and Regulations of the <br /> Board and will be capable of being traversed by machinery. The <br /> operator does not expect prevailing hydrologic conditions to be <br /> L.G. Everist, Inc. Ragsdale Reservoirs Revised February 11, 2025 <br /> 30 <br />
