• ~ iii iiiiiiiiiiiii iii EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN Ellison Mine - Pioneer Uravan, Inc. November 13, 1978 The Ellison Mine is a new mine. What topsoil is available an the dis- turbed site will be removed, stockpiled and seeded (to prevent erosion) in the area outlined on the detailed map (Exhibit C-2). Rock dump slopes are very difficult to determine at this time. Where possible they will be kept gentle, 3 to 1 or 4 to 1. All buildings, fuel tanks, equipment, power lines and other man made improvements will be removed. Portals will be sealed. All rock dumps, roads, building sites and other disturbances will be re-contoured when possible (according to the U.S. Department of Energy requirements), covered with the previously stockpiled topsoil and seeded with the following seed mixture recommended by the U. S. DepartmenC of Energy: SPECIES POUNDS PER ACRE Sand Dropseed 1i2 Indian Rice Grass 2 4 Wing Saltbush 3 Crested Wheat Grass 3 [destern Wheat Grass 3 Yellow Sweet Clover 2 Total 13 1/2 Pioneer Uravan will follow a plan of reclamation suitable for wild- life habitat, dry range land and for recreational uses as set Forth by the U. S. Department of Energy at that future time when mining operations are completed. The portal can only be temporarily sealed as required by the U. S. Department of Energy. Erosion of rock dump slopes is virtually non-exist ant due to the airid climate. The minor amount of erosion which does occur will be controlled by strategic placement of rip rap material. Vent holes will be sealed off. No other permits are required for this mine.
