Exhibit "E" <br />Reclamation Plan <br />(1) This application includes the following information in accordance with the <br />regulations: <br />(a) The operator is proposing to reclaim the site to a final land use as a recharge basin <br />and rangeland. Basin surface area will be approximately 22 acres. Basin side slopes <br />will be graded to a maximum 3H:1 V to 10 feet below the expected average water <br />surface level. Side slopes below this will be graded to a maximum 2H:1 V. Side slopes <br />above the expected average water surface level and any other disturbed areas will be <br />topsoiled and revegetated. The floor of the basin will be graded and smoothed but not <br />topsoiled as not to inhibit recharge. <br />In the event water for recharge activities is not available, areas of exposed groundwater <br />will be backfilled, topsoiled and revegetated until such waters are available. <br />(b) The proposed recharge basin and rangeland reclamation scheme is compatible and <br />consistent with surrounding land use. There is a similar recharge basin within one mile <br />of the subject site. <br />(c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each <br />applicable requirement of Section 3.1, Reclamation Performance Standards. <br />3.1.1 Establishing Post-Mining Use <br />(1) The Operator/Applicant, in consultation with the Landowners, have decided to <br />reclaim the affected area to a recharge basin and rangeland as described in this <br />Reclamation Plan. <br />(2} The results of this application, of which this is a part, and all of the decisions <br />formulated into it, constitute what the applicant believes is an appropriate and workable <br />Reclamation Plan. <br />3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land. <br />Reclaiming substitute land is not a consideration of this operation. <br />3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation <br />The operator/applicant agrees that all reclamation shall be carried to completion with all <br />reasonable diligence. <br />
