' EXHIBIT E <br />RECLA?.IATION PLAN AND TI~dETABLE <br />' Reclamation Plan. The proposed future use of the affected <br />1 land is mountain pasture land. The use of the affected lands has <br />been limited in the past because the area is very steep and rocky. <br />' 17hen the mining is complete, the area will be relatively flat but <br />will have a slight crown in the middle so as to preserve the <br />existing drainage pattern. This will allow a greater accessibility <br />and improve the overall land use, promoting better vegetation <br />cover and improving the grazing capability of the land. <br />' As explained in Exhibit D, mining is planned in 14 stages. <br />1 As mining progresses from stage to stage, the reclamation will <br />follow closely behind, progressing phase to phase. Stage P will <br />last for the life of the mine as a plant site and at the conclusion <br />of mining will be reclaimed in the same manner as the other stages. <br />' Numbering of each reclamation phase will correspond to the <br />1 numbering of the mining stages (see map Exhibits D-1 and F). <br />Reclamation will start on each phase in the first year after the <br />1 completion of the corresponding mining stage. <br />Reclamation will begin with the redistribution of soils. <br />During the first spring (see revegetation program) after soils <br />' are redistributed, the phase will be drilled with the prescribed <br />seed mixture and will be fertilized. During the three or four <br />' years remaining in the reclamation phase, reclamation progress will <br />be monitored by Asphalt Paving, and remedial work will be performed <br />' where necessary. <br />1 <br /> <br />12 <br />
