EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Ellison Mine - Pioneer Uravan, Inc. <br />November 13, 1978 <br />The Ellison Mine is a new mine. What topsoil is available on the dis- <br />turbed site will be removed, stockpiled and seeded (to prevent erosion) <br />in the area outlined on the detailed map (Exhibit C-2). Rock dump slopes <br />are very difficult to determine at this time. Where possible they will be <br />kept gentle, 3 to 1 or 4 to 1. <br />All buildings, fuel tanks, equipment, power lines and other man made <br />improvements will be removed. Portals will be sealed. All rock dumps, <br />roads, building sites and other disturbances will be re-contoured when <br />possible (according to the U.S. Department of Energy requirements), covered <br />with the previously stockpiled topsoil and seeded with the following seed <br />mixture recommended by the U. S. Department of Energy: <br />SPECIES <br />Sand Dropseed <br />Indian Rice Grass <br />4 Wing Saltbush <br />Crested [Jheat Grass <br />Western Wheat Grass <br />Yellow Sweet Clover <br />POUNDS PER ACRE <br />1J2 <br />2 <br />3 <br />3 <br />3 <br />2 <br />Total 13 1/2 <br />Pioneer Uravan will follow a plan of reclamation suitable for wild- <br />life habitat, dry range land and for recreational uses as set forth by the <br />U. S. Department of Energy a[ that future Cime when mining operations are <br />completed. <br />The portal can only be temporarily sealed as required by the U. S. <br />Department of Energy. Erosion of rock dump slopes is virtually non-existant <br />due to the airid climate. The minor amount of erosion which does occur will <br />be controlled by strategic placement of rip rap material. <br />Vent holes will be sealed off. <br />No other permits zre required for this mine. <br />
