EXHIBIT E -RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The reclamation plan for the original permit application was for two lakes with <br />residential and commercial development along the perimeter. The proposed reclamation <br />plan is similar to the original plan except that the proposed reclaimed use will be for two <br />or three water storage facilities and no developments. The only structure to be erected is <br />a pump station located in the northeastern portion of the property. The reclaimed use will <br />serve as a domestic water storage facility. Similar reclaimed uses have been <br />implemented for gravel pits along the South Platte River. <br />Reclamation of the site will occur in two phases as shown on the Reclamation Plan <br />Figure F-1. The first phase will be reclamation of Reservoir I, followed by the <br />reclamation of Reservoir II in the second phase several yeazs later. Reclamation of each <br />phase will occur over an approximate 3 to 6 month period afrer the area has been mined <br />to completion. The affected lands will be reclaimed by removing mining equipment and <br />facilities, re-grading the pit walls, distributing topsoil, tilling and drill seeding the <br />disturbed areas and constructing the pump station and pipeline. The pit walls of the <br />reservoirs will be reclaimed similar to the original permit application. In general, this <br />consists of 3:1 slopes, riprap shore stabilization from original ground surface to the <br />reservoir crest, topsoil distribution and dry ]and seeding on disturbed azeas outside the <br />reservoirs. The two reservoirs will consist of approximately 3,595 acre-feet of storage <br />covering approximately 120 acres. Some interior roadways, in addition to an access road <br />around the crest of the reservoirs, are needed to provide access to the reservoirs and the <br />pump house for operations and maintenance. Surface runoff up gradient of the site is <br />limited by the Fulton Ditch, which intercepts flows and by Highway 85, which cuts of the <br />natural drainage flow from entering the site. Any surface drainage tributary to the <br />reservoirs will be permitted to drain naturally into the reservoirs. <br />A typical reclamation cross-section of the interior and exterior slopes and the slurry wall <br />is shown on Figure F-2. A pump station will be located as shown on Figure F-1. This <br />station will consist of a building, parking azea, access road and pump equipment. <br />Construction of these facilities will be process through the local jurisdictions and <br />conform to their requirements including azchitectural, structural and building codes. <br /> <br />Brannan Sand & Gravel Mining Application August 2003 <br />X:\14d0000.aI1U445707\WardVieports\Permit Amedmrnt-I2-11-03.doc <br />
