EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan <br />F.ach of the foty pit areas will be sloped when completed. The final use will be for <br />wildlife habitat after the grass has been re-established. <br />a) The stockpiled overburden will be spread over the mined areas prior to final <br />reclamation. <br />a) lltc stockpiled topsoil will be replaced before seeding of the pit occurs. There <br />is about 5-fi" of topsoil. All of the stockpiled topsoil will be returned. We <br />anticipate seeding the temporary topsoil stockpiles with brome grass to <br />prevent erosion. <br />b) Slopes no greater than 3:1 will be Icft in the completed pit. <br />c) Seeding will not occur until an area has been mined and sloped. A cover crop <br />will then be established. The area will then be seeded with brome grass at the <br />rate of 3 lbs. of live seed per acre. The entire mined area will be seeded. <br />d) Two or three small depressions may be left in the creek flow area in hopes <br />that water might accumulate and be available for wildlife once the pit is <br />completed. As noted in the previous 110 application (;vf-1998-071), the <br />Fryrears have already established plum thickets and plantings of cedars on an <br />immediately adjoining CRP strip. <br />e) The temporary haul roads will be reclaimed once the mining is complete. <br />f) Thera arc no other reclamation treatments to note for this site. <br />A cost estimate for final reclamation has ixxn prepared and is attached. <br />
