1 <br />' EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />' The conditions of the reclamation plan were substantially altered during <br />negotiations between the submittal of the 112 application and its approval. <br />Those conditions concluded in the following: <br />No slopes steeper than 2 to 1 will remain after reclamation. Slope <br />information is contained in the two-foot contour postmining reclamation map; <br />' Exhibit F. <br />All available topsoil and overburden appropriate as growth media will be <br />replaced during reclamation. A nominal depth of at least 6 inches will be <br />' sought subject to material availability. <br />The horseshoe shaped settling ponds south of the plant site will be <br />' reclaimed after the operation is completed. Grading will be minimal as <br />containment berms are quite low. Seeding on road side embankments and other <br />' perimeter areas of the mine will be completed in the fall of 1980 to minimize <br />' erosion. <br />All compacted areas which are not to be left in place at the request of <br />' the landowner will be ripped to a depth of 6 to 8 inches before the preparing <br />the seedbed. <br />' The seedbed will be prepared by discing and harrowing or as appropriate. <br />' The seeding application of preference will be drilling, although the Soil <br />Conservation Service has indicated that either broadcasting or drilling would <br />be appropriate. <br />Mulching will be included as part of the reclamation seeding plan. <br />' The Terry Grazing Association will be asked not to run cattle on the <br />' reclaimed areas of Section 17 or Section 20 until the ground cover has <br />reestablished itself and the bond has been released. <br /> <br />
