Dc T idoGI III ' <br /> MITBIMS & ASPHALT INC. <br /> 1910 Rand Avenue <br /> Colorado Springs, CO 60906 <br /> Exhibit E-Reclamation Plan <br /> 1. land Use:The purpose of this reclamation plan is to return the property to rangeland. <br /> Reclamation will be completed concurrently with the mining plan. Land will be reclaimed as <br /> soon as it is no longer needed for plant sites,ponds,stockpiles or current mining activit <br /> 2. Reclamation Performance Standards:The mining and reclamation plan have been designed to <br /> initiate reclamation of the land as soon as it is no longer needed and will continue through the <br /> life of the mine Generally,an area that is sufficient to sustain 6 months of mining activities will <br /> remain open at any time. Topsoil and overburden that has been stripped from current mining <br /> areas will be placed on the areas to be reclaimed <br /> Mine slopes will generally be excavated to a 1:1 slope Excess material will then be deposited at <br /> the toe of the slope to obtain a 21 slope or better. The mute floor that is not required for <br /> current muting will be reclaimed with available overburden and topsoil A bean Will be provided <br /> at floor edges to prevent water runoff and erosion of reclaimed areas. <br /> To the extent practical,the final reclamation will be coordinated with the most desirable season <br /> for planting. In this area spring seeding from early March through the end of May has produced <br /> the most desirable results. Seeding will be done as soon as practical with consideration being <br /> given to soil conditions and weather patterns. Soil in the mind area will be scarified and <br /> harrowed prior to seeding. Traffic will be diverted away from the area to be seeded. <br /> Fertilization will be included in the seeding process. Application rates will be determined at the <br /> time of seeding. <br /> Seed mixture and application rates will be determined by the local soil conservation district <br /> Seeding will be done by the use of a seed drill whenever possible. When drilling is not possible, <br /> -seed will be hand broadcast at the rates determined by the soil conservation district _ <br /> 3. This reclamation plan is a continual and ongoing part of the mine. Best management practices <br /> will be used at all times to protect the safety,health,and environment of everyone involved at <br /> the site. - <br /> These items will be used in conjunction with the current mining and reclamation plans. We do <br /> not foresee many changes from the current mining at this facility. We will always continue to use <br /> the best mining practices that are available to us. <br /> Phone 473-3100•Fax 473-3109 <br />
