EXHIBIT 'E" -RECLAMATION PLAN (Technical Revision 6-20-85 Page 6) Further restoration, compaction and backfilling near the crest of the slope which will reduce the differential settling and increase the stability of the backfilled material shall be completed in the following manner: 1) A drainage ditch three ft. deep will be placed along the flat area at the top (southern side) of the slope to prevent water from running directly off the slope. 2) The crest of the hill will be backfilled with overburden material to bring it up to the desired elevafion, to act as a filler and to prevent erosion. 3) The backfilled area will then be graded to a Z 1/Z:1 slope which will be gentle enough to sustain vegetation and to prevent erosions 4) The backfilled area whtn will be compacted by a catapillar and sheepsfoot compactor to insure that the backfilled material is compacted enough to prevent erosion. This area will be left rough to conserve moisture and prevent erosion. The operator will reseed the topsoil stockpiles, head-cuts on erosion channels and the crest of the hill with a gtack growing cover crop of yellow sweet clover ~~~ (1 /2 lb. /acre) and perennial rye grass (3 lbs. /acre). ~~5 The whole reclaimed area will be reseeded in the fall of 1985 to the seed mixture 61~- found in the Reclamation Plan. The amuunt of fertilizer used and mulching is also found in the permitted reclamation plan. The operator will also place adequate organic material (cow manure) over the reclaimed area at two tons per acre. The operator will also sprinkle irrigate the new grass seedlings from the water well located on the operator's private land. This will be done as soon as the technically revised mining and reclamation plans and corrective actions are approved by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. A.stripped buffer zone (one scraper wide) will separate the active highwall face from
