<br />EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan <br />Reclamation will consist of final shaping, applying the 2"-4" of topsoil <br />and replanting the site with grass species adaptable to this area. Those <br />grass species are Blue Grama, Western Wheatgrass and Buffalo Grass. The <br />mixture of these grasses in live seed per acre will be as follows: <br />Blue Grama -- 0.3 lbs. PLS (Pure Live Seed); <br />Western Wheatgrass -- 4.8 lbs. PLS; and <br />Buffalo Grass -- 1.1 lbs. PLS. <br />The area of the proposed gravel pit will be reclaimed in the following <br />manner: The subsoil or overburden will be stripped and spread over those <br />areas that have been mined and banks will be backsloped in a 3H:1V slope. <br />All work will be done on the contour to reduce wind and water erosion as <br />much as possible and a mulch of straw and manure will also be used to <br />prevent erosion by wind and water. <br />Topsoil will be replaced immediately prior to reseeding the disturbed areas. <br />Reseeding will be scheduled for late spring or early summer to take advantage <br />of rains that normally occur during this period of time. A mulch of straw, <br />crimped to protect seed and seedlings from wind and water erosion, will also <br />be used. <br />Shaping of the area will be as close to the original slopes as is possible <br />and no slope will exceed the 3:1 ratio. <br />EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan <br />
