EXHIBIT E {Cont'd) <br />dredge facilities nor are there any temporary or large silta- <br />tion structures involved in this operation. There will be no <br />earth dams. See Exhibit G for details concerning water <br />resources. <br />The mining and reclamation plans take into account the <br />safety and protection of wildlife remaining on the mine site, <br />at the processing sites and along all access roads to the mine <br />site. <br />Where it is necessary to remove the topsoil and overburden <br />to reach the mineral deposit, the highest-quality topsoils <br />found on the affected land will be removed in sufficient <br />quantity to implement the reclamation plan. These topsoils <br />will be segregated and protected. I4 the topsoil is not <br />replaced on areas to receive revegetation within a short <br />enough time (not to exceed one growing season) to avoid <br />deterioration of the topsoil, vegetative cover or other means <br />will be employed to preserve the topsoil from wind and water <br />erosion, to protect it from any contamination by acid or toxic <br />materials, and to keep it in a useable condition for sustain- <br />ing vegetation when it is redistributed in accordance with the <br />reclamation plan. Topsoil stockpiles will be maintained to <br />minimize erosion and will be located in areas where disturbances <br />by ongoing mining operations will be at a minimum. The top- <br />soils will be handled as little as possible until they are <br />replaced in disturbed areas. The operator will take measures <br />necessary to insure the stability of the replaced topsoil on <br />-16- <br />
