EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />:permitted quarry site is approximately 46.2 acres, from which, approximately 20- <br />;s will be disturbed by mining operations. The proposed site is located entirely within <br />expected limits of the proposed Glade Reservoir, which would inundate the entire <br />. The mining proposal is presented with a contingency that mining will not occur <br />ass the reservoir is a certainty. This reclamation plan is intended to provide <br />amation measures for the short term, with the assumption that in the long-term the <br />will be under water. <br />quarry site is also located adjacent to a wetland. A wetland plan is presented with <br />proposal to prescribe appropriate protection measures during the life of the mine. <br />site is within the Hook and Moore Glade potential conservation area according to the <br />>rado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP). This azea is characterized by a lazge <br />.stone hogback that parallels US Highway 287. A sandstone outcrop is located <br />peen 287 and the hogback, and is the area to be mined under this proposal. <br />quarry site will consist of an access road, the rock outcrop quarry, a fenced <br />ations yard, temporary crusher, and product stockpiles. The outcrop will be divided <br />8 quarry cells that are approximately 2.5-acres in size. The quarry plan includes the <br />it to quarry a single cell at a time in response to concerns regarding visual and <br />ronmental impacts. Mining will be performed primarily by hand, using afront-end <br />er and forklift. <br />initial phase of the 8-phase project will occur on the south side of the outcrop area, to <br />v for the creation of astorm-water detention pond, which will serve to control run-off <br />improve water quality throughout the life of the mine. The pond may or may not <br />standing water at any given time depending on weather conditions. Storm water <br />be directed to the detention pond by way of a vegetated Swale on the east and west <br />s of the outcrop. <br />Surface Conditions <br />:cording to the CNHP, the vegetation is characterized by Mountain mahogany shrub <br />ids on the steeper slopes with scattered Ponderosa Pine and Rocky Mountain Juniper. <br />e valley within the hogback is dominated by grasslands that are somewhat degraded by <br />;invasion ofnon-native species. Some wetland vegetation is present along the western <br />rtion of the site as a result of leakage from the North Poudre Supply Canal. Many <br />;edy species have become established around the canal, probably due to disturbance <br />ated to the ditch operation. Much of the area in general has been either heavily mined <br />disturbed by residential development. <br />S <br />
