' EXHIBIT E
- Reclamation Plan
' The reclamation of the land at the site of the Dallas Gravel Pit will be performed in 3
phases in coordination with the proposed mining plan. The post-mining land use of the
rehabilitated areas will be reclaimed to duplicate the surrounding terrain and return the site
' to it's original wildlife habitat use.~eclamation will take place following each phase of the
mining operation and prior to commencement of the next phaseSPhase l will require
' approximately 1 to 2 years to extract the desired amount of material available in that area,
Phase 2 will necessitate up to 10 years and Phase 3 may call for as long as 10 years also.
' The type and method of reclamation will be the same for each phase, however, each
successive phase will be larger than the previous. Phase 1 will impact approximately 3.9
acres at the far eastern portion of the parcel, Parcel 2 will disturb close to 8 acres in and
azound the limits of the existing operation and Parcel 3 will affect close to 7.7 acres of
' previously undisturbed land west of the existing site within the permitted 50 acre parcel.
' Prior to the start of gravel extraction operations, the top 4 to 6 inches of topsoil will be

shall be stabilized with a cover crop of Western Wheatgrass (4 Ibs/ac), Muttongrass (4 ~ ~,t2
£d~""i
t ]bs/ac) and Yellow Sweetclover (1 Ib/ac). ~
Upon commencement of site rehabilitation all rejected oversized material will be buried
' prior to final grading. The site will be graded to blend in with the surrounding topography
with slopes no steeper than 2:1. Topsoil will be redistributed evenly throughout the
disturbed areas to a minimum depth of 4 inches. The soil surface of the pit area and access
' routes will be scarified after final grading by ripping or disking the soil along the contours
of the slope. The soil surface will be considered scarified if depressions are created 2 to 4
inches deep and are spaced approximately 4 to 6 inches apart. Surface roughening can also
' be accomplished by tracking the soil with a dozer working perpendicular to the contours
of the slope. Care will betaken to not drive any vehicles over scarified surfaces.
' The disturbed areas will be fertilized with 80 lbs.facre of nitrogen and 50 Ibs./acre of
phosphorous prior to seeding and again one year following the seeding.
' All disturbed azeas will be seeded and mulched within 14 days after final grade is
established on any portion of the site not otherwise permanently stabilized. The mulch
' shall be clean, weed and seed free and long stemmed hay. The mulch will be applied evenly
at a rate of 2 tons per acre. At least 50% of the mulch, by weight, should be 10 inches or
- more in length. The mulch will be anchored by crimping or with the aid of tackifiers or
' nets.
