RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Exhibit E -AMENDMENT <br />Reclamation Plan <br />STATEMENT OF APPLICABILITY OF THIS PLAN <br />This exhibit is designed to completely replace all prior reclamation plans for this site. However, <br />this plan does include portions of the current reclamation plan that have demonstrated good success. <br />DETAILED RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Linkages to Reclamation Plan Map in Exhibit F <br />The reclamation plan map for this plan is Exhibit F. This map provides the information <br />regarding final topography and some of the particulars of the plan itself. But most of the actual <br />plan is contained in this Exhibit E. <br />Post-Mining Land Uses <br />The final land use proposed for this land is the same as the final land use for the existing <br />permit. The land will be returned to grazing and pasture use by the landowner (the permittee). <br />Much of the land under the ownership of the permittee is used for grazing or hay production for <br />the cattle ranch. Because of the location of this site being similar to pasture in similar locations <br />west of Running Creek, this site is highly suitable for these purposes. Furthermore, past success <br />in the reclamation of the existing mined area has shown this final land use is feasible. <br />Materials Handling - Backfilling <br />Backfilling is a minor part of the reclamation process. Final slopes are created using a cut <br />and fill process to produce the 3:1 final slope. Because there is so little overburden there is little <br />material available to do much backfilling. Therefore, most backfilling is actually covered under <br />Miller Gravel Pit Amendment (2007) Exhibit E Page 1 of 4 <br />
