<br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />EXHIBIT E Icontl <br />3:1 depending on the final use proposed in a particular area of a <br />pond; the remainder of the area will retain its present drainage <br />pattern. <br />Some offsite fill materials may be use to enhance fish <br />habitat in tads or bank armoring, this materia m v consist <br />of°broke concrete or other materials suitable for that purpose. <br />The pi wt iTl be-rec-l-aimed so that a sui~ble grade for drainage <br />exists, all surface runoff will be directed into the ponds <br />created by mining. Some areas may be silted in from wash water, <br />this type of backfilling tends to firm up and stabilize during <br />the first 18 months after being placed. <br />All grading will be done in a manner to control erosion and <br />to protect areas outside the affected land from slides or other <br />damage. Backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as <br />feasible after mining is completed in a given area. All refuse <br />will be hauled away or disposed of in a manner that will control <br />unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. <br />There are no acid-forming or toxic materials involved in this <br />operation. The~ninimal amQUnts~f_petroleum products stored at <br />the site will be done as prescribed by applicable laws.._The <br />moorage tanks'wil-1 be usirounde--d b berm adequate to retain_any <br />fluid_should-a_tank_rupture_ In addition, there is-adequate <br />`absorbent materials on site to contain any spills that would <br />occur outside the berms. There are no drill or auger holes on <br />the land. Maximum slopes will be within the limits set forth in <br />the Rules and Regulations of the Board and will be capable of <br />being traversed by machinery. <br />The operator does not expect prevailing hydrologic <br />conditions to be disturbed. We will comply with applicable <br />Colorado water laws and regulations (as the operator understands <br />them) governing injury to existing water rights in order to <br />minimize any disturbance, which might occur to the prevailing <br />hydrologic balance of the affected land and surrounding areas and <br />to the quality of water in surface and ground-water systems both <br />during and after the mining operation and during reclamation. In <br />addition, the operator expects to comply with applicable Federal <br />and Colorado water quality laws and regulations. Any water used <br />in the operation of the processing plants and gravel pit will <br />come from water owned by Tom Sharkey. <br />This is a dredge facility, but there are no temporary <br />siltation structures involved in this operation and no mining is <br />done within the confines of the river. If a U.S. Army Corp of <br />Engineers Permit is required for mining in waters of the U.S. or <br />wetlands on the site we will obtain it prior to disturbing these <br />areas. Settling ponds will be constructed on the site to collect <br />water from the washing operation before it re-enters the mined <br />part of the lake area. There will be no earthen dams on the <br />mined area. <br />The mining and reclamation plans consider existing wildlife <br />conditions and final reclamation will enhance the area for <br />wildlife use. The mining and reclamation plans take into account <br />the safety and protection of wildlife remaining on the mine site, <br />16 <br />
