EXHIBIT "E" -RECLAMATION PLAN (Technical Revision 6-20-85) <br />A portion of the Southern permit boundary was previously backfilled, graded <br />and sloped to a 2 1/2:1 slope in 1983 while mining under the legal permit dated <br />October 27, 1983, for a regular (112) application. <br />Wee3 species observed while making the field inspection with the operator were <br />Russian thistle, cheatgrass and tumbleweed. During the fall of 1995, the operator <br />will revegetate this area once again after backfilling, compacting and sloping to a <br />2 1/2:1 slope, to the following seed mixture: ~ '•, <br />Crested wheatgrass 1.2 lbs. /acre )`~~~ ~ <br />Pubescent wheatgrass 1. 8 lbs. /acre <br />Western wheatgrass 1.8 lbs. /acre <br />Russian wild rye 0. 5 lbs. /acre ~ )~ <br />~..t, <br />Sainfoin 1.25 lbs. /acre <br />Cicer Milkretch . 33 lbs. /acre <br />Total 6. 69 lbs. )acre <br />Ammonia Ntrt. will also be added at 40.0 lbs/acre. <br />The operator shall also sprea3 ample organic material (cow manure) over <br />- 50.1 k,~ <br />the area at two tons per acre. - <br />Addressing the minor gullet' erosion, first the operator will backfill, grade and <br />slope the area to smooth out the gullies to a 2 1/2:1 slope. Next the operator will <br />compact the area with a sheepsfoot compactor and catipillars to prevent loose <br />`~`` material from being eroded. Then the operator will place a berm along the flat edge <br />l~ n top of the slope to prevent the direct hitting of water upon the backfilled and graded <br />,~. ~,v <br />l~/``~ slope, thus preventing any erosion. Seeding will proceed per the Reclamation Plan <br />seed mixture specifications in the fall of 1985, with an interum coverage of yellow <br />~~ sweet clover (1/2 lb. /acre) and perennial rye grass (3 lbs. /acre) as a quick cover crop. <br />
