EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN (REVISED) (continued) The picnic area. will contain 4 individual picnic sites 18 feet in length by 24 feet in width with compacted gravel surface suitable for all weather use. Each such site will be equipped with a standard picnic table and charcoal grill. Unsurfaced areas in this site will be topsoiled to a depth of at least 12 inches, graded, fertilized and seeded accord- ing to recommendations of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service as contained in Exhibits I and J, following. Tree planting in this area will be in accordance with recommendations of the Larimer County Forester (with whom initial contact has been made), and the U.S. Soil Conservation Service as con- tained in Exhibits I and J, following. The lake will be located and generally configured as shown on the Reclamation Plan Maps (Revised), Exhibit F. Average depth of this lake will be about 20 feet, and slope of its banks will be 5:H:1V, or gentler, throughout. Topsoiling to a depth of at l~=_ast 12 inches, fertilizing, and seeding re- commended by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service will be carried to the high water line; side slopes of the lake be- low its high water line will be surfaced using the sandy loam overburden removed during extraction operations. Lake will be used for fishing, and will be suitably stocked with fish in accordance with recommendations of the Colorado State Division of Wilcilife. Grading, topsoi:ling to a depth of at least 12 inches, fertiliz- ing, and seeding; the remainder of the project area will be in accordance with recommenations of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service as cont~iined in Exhibits I and J, following. Drain- age from reclaioied area will continue to clear the site through appurtenances located in the Southeast Corner of the project as they existed prior to commencement of mining operations. There will initially be no public access to this site until reclamation seeding and planting has had opportunity to be- come firmly established, and fish stockage in the lake has been accomplished. Thereafter, controlled access by the public will be permitted on a "first-come first served" basis; control will be exercised to the extent required to insure that no wore people than the area can accommodate will be permitted entry at any one time. 2. TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING: The plan for tree and shrub planting as part of reclamation in the mined area involves 3 basic aspects. These are the shelter belt, and the picnic area, and the Lake.
