<br /> <br />EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Beneficial end land use is designated as rangeland. The slope and the vegetative cover will be <br />conducive to the grazing of cattle and horses. <br />Roads and culverts utilized in the mining will be left intact. These facilities provide access to the <br />Lakeshore and to the irrigation ditches for maintenance. Ranch buildings presently on the site <br />will remain in the reclaimed state. The three access driveways from State Highway 9 into the <br />property will also remain. These facilities will be used for the ranching operation on the land. <br />Also the water release pipe in Lake 1 will remain. <br />[n the final reclamation state, the land will be reclaimed in the following categories: <br />Lake 115 acres <br />Rangeland 88 acres <br />Roads 5 acres <br />Ranch Headquarters 8 acres <br />Total 216 acres <br />The mining operation will create lakes. Mining along the shoreline will be at a 3:1 and 2:1 <br />configuration. As the mining progresses through a certain length of shoreline, the overburden <br />and topsoil will be placed on the Lakeshore slope above the waterline. In the existing operation to <br />the east, the operator found that the water table is fairly stable and the lake level does not <br />fluctuate more than two feet. <br />The rural azeas between Silverthorne and Kremling are in grazing and mining uses. Thus the <br />post-mining use proposed here is compatible. Summit County Land Use Plan allows for rural <br />and agricultural uses in this area. <br />The operator will comply with Rule 3.1 according to the following measures: <br />Reclamation Measures/Materials Handling <br />The mining will create the rough topography for the lake shore. Instead of being mined <br />vertically, these lakeshores will be mined at the 3:1 and 2:1 configuration. See detail C on <br />Exhibit F for proposed Lakeshore configuration. Overburden and topsoil will be placed on the <br />shoreline for fmal grading. Compaction of this overburden will occw by the scrapers and dozers <br />which place the soil. There are no structures proposed here so no greater compaction is required. <br />Final grading will be done along the contours and revegetation will occur as soon as possible to <br />prevent erosion. Lakeshores will be graded and seeded within one to two years after the mining <br />occurs. <br />E-1 <br />
