,: <br /> <br />EY,HIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Areas 3 and 4 are to be reclaimed as lakes. Sideslopes will be held to a <br />maximum of 3:1 to 10 feet below the water line and a maximum of 2:1 below <br />that depth. Some of the existing trees will be preserved if possible, and <br />the banks will be reseeded to native pasture grasses down to water line. <br />A minimum of 20 additional Siouxland Poplar trees (2" min. caliper) <br />will be planted adjacent to the lakes as shown on the map. Area 2 <br />is to be used by the City of Loveland as a repository for such debris <br />as torn up asphalt, broken concrete, broken tree limbs and the like. <br />The debris will be covered sequentially using stored overburden soils <br />from the mining process. When the filling of the area is complete, <br />the area will be recovered with topsoil and reseeded to native pasture <br />grasses of a drouth resistant strain. Significant compactive efforts <br />are not felt to be practical or particularly necessary, as nearly the <br />entire area lies within the 100-year flood plain of the Big Thompson <br />River, and is therefore unusable for building purposes. If needed by <br />the City, Area 1 may also be utilized for the above purposes, with the <br />same reclamation scheme applying. If not felt to be needed by the City, <br />the area will be filled with overburden soils topped with topsoil at <br />approximate elevation 4890 and reseeded as above. <br />In general, the reclamation process shall be handled on a sequential <br />basis, so that mined out areas are not left unreclaimed for more than <br />two years. As noted above, this will not totally apply to Area 2, <br />which will be serving a long-term purpose. <br />
