~~ EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN (REVISED) 1. GENERAL: ~- ~Rg[-oaa 'f~-DI W-Z3-8~ ' Reclamation activities will be divided into two general catagories. (1) Those associated with reclamation of the 5.471 acre service and support area, and (2) Those associated with reclamation of the 9.956 acre area which is to be mined for sand and gravel. Reclamation of the 5.471 acre service and support area will be a reasonably simple process, since no excavation or min- ing will be done in this area. Upon completion of mining operations and :reclamation in the adjoining 9.956 acre mine, the surface of this service and support area will be cleared of all equipment, materials and facilities, and returned to agricultural use as it was before involvement with mining of sand and gravel under auspices of this permit. Reclamation of t:he 9.956 acre mined area will convert the site from agricultural use t:o a recreational area/wildlife habitat in acco:-dance with Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Maps (Revised). Essential elements of Chis plan involve construc- tion of a lake :surrounded by a landscaped area including a picnic area, a surfaced parking lot and foot trail access; the landscaped area will be topsoiled to a depth of at least 12 inches, graded, seeded, and planted to provide a suitable vegetative surface for the intended purpose. Significant aspects of the earthwork mechanics involved in development of this site have been previously covered in detail in Ex- hibit D, Mining Plan (Revised). Parking lot in the landscaped area surrounding the lake will be 50 feet in width by 100 feet in length, and divided so as to provide parking facilities for 15 passenger type vehicles at one time plus turning and maneuver space for vehicles entering and leaving the site. This area will have a suit- able compacted sub grade and compacted gravel surface so as to provide an all weather parking capability. Trail from the parking area to picnic areas will have a compacted gravel surface 5 feet in width and suitable for all weather foot traffic.
