RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Exhibit E -AMENDMENT 2 <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Linkages to Reclamation Plan Maps in Exhibit F <br />Two reclamation plan maps are included in Exhibit F. These are both highly relevant to the <br />discussions included in this exhibit. For this amendment, this maps replace the maps provided in <br />Amendment 1. <br />Exhibit F-1: Phase 1 Final Topography -This map covers the same area included in Exhibit C-4 which <br />showed the details of the mining plan. This map shows the locations of backfilling, the general locatons of <br />various revegetafion treatments, and, most important, the anticipated final topography. The topography <br />within the reservoir basin assumes no water is present. Of course, when water is present the bottom <br />topography would not be visible. <br />Exhibit F-2: Final Land Uses -This map shows the estimated distnbution of the various land uses to be <br />applied through the reclamation process. It is ixrq~ortant to recognize that different rises will be applied to <br />different parts of the reclaimed land. The boundaries of these uses are based upon the topographic <br />configuration shown in Exhibit F-1. Therefore, any deviations in the actual final configuration may result <br />in some shifting of the land use boundaries. Also, boundaries between some units will be far less sharp than <br />they are shown on the map. For example, riparian forest will blend into adjacent shrub/scrub with <br />considerable overlap of species. But, because the final topography is based on fairly well defined backfill <br />volumes, backfill and topographic deviations should be minor. <br />NOTES REGARDING THIS AMENDED EXHIBIT: The following information pertains to the <br />Amendment 2 area and any modifications in the Amendment 1 exhibits that is changed as a result of <br />Amendment 2. For the most part, very little is changed in the Amendment 1 mining plan as a result of this <br />amendment. <br />Reclamation Timing Issues <br />The Amendment 2 area will be operated as a unit with backfilling done very soon after corr~letion. <br />It is even possible that limited amounts of backfilling all be done on some areas before the entire <br />amendment area is completed. The amendment area is rather small and therefore would be difficult to <br />Pueblo East Pit Amendment 2 (2004) Exhibit E Page 1 of 7 <br />
