Sanborn Sand & Gravel <br />EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan <br />Currently the land is listed as Range Land with the reclamation to return the property to <br />range land. Because of new developments it is proposed that two reclamations plans be <br />placed on the application. <br />Plan 1 -Reclaim to Ran eg Land <br />As each pit or cut is backfilled, it will be graded to match the surrounding topography. <br />Average slopes will not exceed 3:1. <br />As mentioned in the DMG report filling a high wall in the Southeast comer is a concern. <br />Currently, an approximate amount equaling 40,000 yards of waste materials stored by the <br />previous owners is stored on the southeast comer. This material consists of clay, cobbles, <br />and sands. It will be dozed in started in the southeast comer and worked along the <br />southern line of the high wall. Estimates suggest that with the current shape and slope of <br />the mining area less than 50,000 yazds of material will be needed to fill this azea to a 3:1 <br />slope. An additional two azeas containing waste of the same type of material are located <br />on other areas of the property. These sites contain approximately 10,000 yards. <br />Topsoil in the area varies in depth from 2 inches to 2 feet. Sufficient topsoil will be <br />salvaged from the disturbed areas to provide a cover of 6 inches. The topsoil will be <br />stored in long, narrow windrows to provide a better growth medium for microorganisms. <br />The proposed re-seeding rates are for drilling and will be doubled if broadcast on <br />disturbed areas. The following seed mixture is proposed: <br />SPECIES RATE* <br />Arizona Fescue I.5 <br />Pubescent Wheat grass 3.0 <br />Hard Fescue 1.0 <br />Western Wheat grass 3.0 <br />Western Yarrow .5 <br />Rocky Mountain Penstomen .5 <br />Russian Wild rye 2.0 <br />11.5 <br />*Seed rate in pounds of pure live seed. <br />
