<br />EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Landscape design: <br />After mining is complete, the area will be shaped and <br />graded. Where possible, final grading should be done on the <br />contour to conserve moisture and reduce erosion. Slopes <br />should be cut or filled so that no slope is greater than <br />3:1. Seeding sucess will increase if lesser slopes remain. <br />The land will be scarified to a depth of six inches <br />following grading to provide better cohesion between topsoil <br />and the graded area. <br />Topsoil: <br />Topsoil will be stockpiled prior to mining. After <br />grading is completed, topsoil will be spread over the area <br />as evenly as possible. <br />Fertilizer: <br />A soil test should be made to determine the proper <br />amounts of fertilizer to apply. Fertilizer should be <br />applied immediatly prior to seeding, at the time of seeding, <br />or immediately following seeding, as applicable to the kind <br />of fertilizer and type of equipment used. <br />Seeding: <br />Seeding will <br />applied to prevent <br />erosion. Seed wil <br />plant grass seed. <br />the 1st of November <br />be done shortly after the topsoil is <br />excess weed growth and loss of soil by <br />1 be planted with a drill designed to <br />The area will be seeded sometime between <br />and May 31st. <br />Mulching: <br />Mulch will consist of hay or straw, free of noxious <br />weed seed, applied at the rate of 4,000 pounds per acre. At <br />least 508 of the material should be 10 inches or more in <br />length. The mulch can be anchored by a disc plow with its <br />discs set straight or a crimping machine. The mulch should <br />be crimped 4 inches into the soil. <br />Protection: <br />The area will be protected from grazing and disturbance <br />until it is stabilized. Vegitation should not be burned or <br />mowed. <br />
