(g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and describe the intended use; and (h) name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be mined/extracted by the proposed operation. EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plau (Rule 6.4.5): (1) In preparing the Reclamation Plan, you should be specific in terms of addressing such items as final grading (including drainage), seeding, fertilizing, revegetation (trees, shrubs, etc.), and topsoiling. You are encouraged to allow flexibility in your plans by committing to ranges of numbers (e.g., 6"-12" of topsoil) rather than specific figures. (2) The Reclamation Plan shall include provisions for, or satisfactory explanation of, all general requirements for the type of reclamation proposed to be implemented by you. Reclamation shall be required on all the affected land. The Reclamation Plans shall include: (a) A description of the type(s) of reclamation you propose to achieve in the reclamation of the affected land, why each was chosen, the amount of acreage accorded to each, and a general discussion of methods of reclamation as related to the mechanics of earthmoving; (b) A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the vicinity and to adopted state and local land use plans and programs. In those instances where the post-mining land use is for industrial, residential, or commercial purposes and such use is not reasonably assured, a plan for revegetation shall be submitted. Appropriate evidence supporting such reasonable assurance shall be submitted; (c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each applicable requirement of Section 3.1; (d) Where applicable, plans for topsoil segregation, preservation, and replacement; for stabilization, compaction, and grading of spoil; and for revegetation. The revegetation plan shall contain a list of the preferred species of grass, legumes, forbs, shrubs or trees to be planted, the method and rates of seeding and planting, the estimated availability of viable seeds in sufficient quantities of the species proposed to be used, and the proposed time of seeding and planting; (e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. Such plan or schedule shall not be bed to any specific date but shall be tied to implementation or completion of different stages of the mining operation as described in Subparagraph 6.4.4(1)(e). The plan or schedule shall include: (i) An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or phases of reclamation; and (ii) A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each phase; (iii) An outline of the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be carried out. (The schedule need not be separate and distinct from the Reclamation Plan, but may be incorporated therein.) (f) A description of each of the following: (i) Final grading -specify maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof;
