Exhibit E Reclamation Plan The reclamation work at the London Mine Clean Up will be applied to each waste pile disturbed. Map F- 1 shows a standardized view of a waste pile in reclaimed conditions. Annual reports to CDRMS will list the areas reclaimed in the prior year, ensuring that the 20-acre limit of disturbed waste piles is not exceeded. 1 . RECLAMATION PLAN All reclamation at the London Mine Clean Up will be to achieve stable slopes and site conditions for the post mine land use of industrial/commercial or bare rock. Final slopes will be no steeper than what surrounding topography can allow. Typically slopes will be 1.5H:1V or shallower. All stormwater and sediment controls will remain in place until revegetation is successful. Topsoil placement and revegetation will vary depending on the mining environment. Fertilizer may be applied to vegetated areas depending on reclaimed soil conditions. The type, quantity, and schedule of application of fertilizer will be determined in conjunction with the US Forest Service. Any roads built to access waste piles will be reclaimed according to the mining environment that the access road is in. No structures will be installed as part of mining, so none will need to be removed during reclamation. Each mining environments reclamation plan is discussed in more detail below. 1 .1 . Vegetated Loose Ground Topsoil disturbed areas with either stockpiled topsoil from local stripping, or cap with crushed NPAF material processed at the London Mine 110D to an average depth of four inches. Scarify the soil prior to seeding. Revegetate with the Alpine seed mix, as described in Table E-1. Drill seed if possible, broadcast at two times the drill rate if broadcast seeding is required. 1 .2. Non-Vegetated Loose Ground Cap with crushed NPAF material processed at the London Mine 110D to an average depth of four inches. No revegetation will occur on these areas. 1 .3. Vegetated Competent Ground Topsoil disturbed areas with either stockpiled topsoil from local stripping, or leave bare to match surrounding bare rock conditions. If topsoiled, revegetate with the Alpine seed mix, as described in Table E-1. Drill seed if possible, broadcast at two times the drill rate if broadcast seeding is required. 1 .4. Non-Vegetated Competent Ground Exposed bedrock will remain as the final ground condition. Remove all loose material from the disturbance area and use at other sites for grading. No topsoiling or revegetation in this environment. London Mountain Clean Up E-1 11 Lewicki& Associates April 2025
