EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />C.F. and R.M.Cooper Trust Pit #7 <br />I. Soil Base Line Data: <br />Baca Clay Loam, I to 3 percent Slopes: The Baca soil is deep and well drained. It formed in loess <br />on the plains. Typically the surface is clay loam 5 inches thick. The subsoil is clay loam or silty clay <br />loam 19 inches thick. The underlying material is silt loam to a depth of 60 inches or more. Permeability <br />is moderately slow. Available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more, <br />Runoll is slow except in more sloping area. The hazard of water erosion is moderate on areas with slopes <br />over 3 percent. The hazard of wind erosion is high. Most of this unit is used for cropland. <br />Gravelly Land: Gravelly land consists of deep and excessively drained soils bordering major <br />drainageways. Slopes range from 3 to 20 percent. The surface is gravelly loam 12 inches thick. The <br />underlying material is gravelly loamy sand grading to sand and gravel to a depth of GO inches or more. <br />Permeability is moderate. Availab[e water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. <br />Runoff is rapid and the hazard of water erosion is high. <br />Wages Loam: The Wages soil is deep and well drained. It farmed in alluvium on terraces. Typically <br />[he surface is loam 4 inches thick. The subsoil is clay loam 8 inches thick. The underlying material is <br />clay loam to a depth of 60 inches or more. Permeability is moderate. Available water capacity is high. <br />Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow to medium. The hazard of wind erosion is <br />moderate to high. Slopes range frotn 0 to 3 percent. This soil is subject to rare flooding. <br />Wiley Loam, 1 to 3 percent Slopes: The Wiley soil is deep and well drained. It formed in loess on <br />the plains. Typically the surface is loam 5 inches thick. The subsoil is silty clay loam 10 inches thick. <br />The underlying material is silt loam to a depth of 60 inches or more. Permeability is moderate. Available <br />water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow to medium. The <br />hazard of wind erosion is high. The hazard of water erosion is moderate on slopes exceeding 3 percent. <br />II. Vegetation Base Line Data: <br />Species % of Mix lbs. PLS/AC (Drill seeded) <br />Blue Grama 40% 1.2 <br />Sideoasts 25% 2.25 <br />Western Wheatgrass 25% 4.0 <br />(Double rate for broadcast seeding) <br />III. Reclamation Plan: <br />Erosion control during and after mining: Depending on the specific site of the pit, a <br />diversion dike may be needed on the upper side to convey surface storm runoff from a <br />large block of loamy/sandy soils above the pit to a safe disposal site. Where it is possible <br />the A and B horizons of the soil profile will be removed and stockpiled separately by <br />horizon for replacement in the borrow area in the natural sequence when mining <br />8 <br />
