_~ 21 <br />' EXHIBIT E <br /> RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> <br /> Upon completion of mining activities, overburden and spoils will be graded <br />1 into the corridor that has resulted from the extraction of gravel. <br /> The bordering highwalls will be graded into gently sloping hills to <br />' harmonize with the surrounding topography. In order to minimize erosion <br />' and siltation during reclamation slopes greater than 2.1 will be avoided <br /> where possible. Stockpiled topsoil will then be regraded to an average <br />' depth of 4" to 6" over the pit site and other areas that have been distrubed. <br /> The site will [hen be furrowed and seed caill be broadcast at a rate as pre- <br />' scribed by the Soil Conservation Service. <br /> The rates are as follows: <br /> <br />' % of Mix Drilled Rate <br /> 50% Side Oats Grama 4.5 lbs/ ac. <br />' 20% Western Wheatgrass 3.2 <br /> 20% Russian Wildrye 2.0 <br />' <br /> 10% Yellow Sweetclover .7 <br />' Note: Use double these amounts if seed is broadcast rather than drilled. <br />' A mulch of 4000 lbs/acre of clean straw or hay should also be applied <br />after seeding. Poor seeding success is likely without a protective mulch. <br />' A mulch as prescribed above will also be applied after seeding. <br />-- - <br />' l e developed spring will provide irrigation for the seeding.Ji'he <br />irrigation will continue until a hardy vegetation cover is attained. <br /> <br /> <br />
