6.0 EXHIBIT E - DISTEL PIT RECLAMATION PLAN (REVISED <br />SEPTEMBER 1, 2004) <br />The revised reclamation plan includes the majority of elements from Aggregate <br />Industries (AI) existing Distel Pit Reclamation Plan (which includes the Peschel, <br />Sherwood, Bigelow, Distel, and Longmont properties). The revised plan includes <br />reclamation of the Sherwood property (which is part of the permitted Distel property), <br />and direct surface water flow from Sherwood into a series of ponds to be constructed <br />on Longmont's Bigelow property. Reclamation will be completed as part of <br />Longmont's open space master plan for the St. Vrain river corridor and will include <br />wetlands, ponds and upland meadows. The final land use and layout of the reclaimed <br />azeas has been developed in conjunction with Longmont Pazks and Recreation, <br />Boulder County and other land owners to ensure compatibility with the long term <br />planning goals of the area. <br />6.1 Reclaimed Landform <br />The currently approved Distel Reclamation Plan calls for the creation of approximately <br />73 acres of open water and 28.4 acres of wetlands. The revised Reclamation Plan for <br />the combined properties will include creation of eight (8) ponds with a combined size <br />of approximately 60 acres along with associated wetland areas of approximately 30 <br />acres. The remainder of the disturbed area will be reclaimed as uplands. <br />Approximately 443 acres will be reclaimed at the Distel Pit (Longmont, Distel, <br />Bigelow, Sherwood and Peschel). The approximate location of the wetlands and <br />ponds to be constructed during reclamation is illustrated on the attached Exhibit F.1. <br />The final location of these units is somewhat dependent on the post-mining <br />topography of the disturbed azea. <br />The total estimated area to be reclaimed and the associated landforms aze summarized <br />in the following table: <br />Combined <br />Laodform Wetlands Ponds Uplands Landforms <br />Acreage Totals 30 60 353 443 <br />8852004 <br />
