EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The final reclamation of the 83rd Joint Venture Resource will be <br />for a large lot residential PUD. Two lakes with reclaimed <br />shorelines will be left for private recreational uses with a total <br />water surface of 67.1 acres. <br />The mining plan calls for progressive reclamation of the property. <br />This technique will minimize the total amount of disturbed acreage <br />at any one time during the operation. The Table of Disturbance <br />shows a proposed maximum amount of disturbance of 24.4 acres at <br />any one time during mining. <br />There are some wetlands that will be excavated by the mining <br />operation. Backfilling will cover no more than one acre total of <br />wetlands area. Since this area will remain under one acre, this <br />filling will fall under the Nationwide 404 Permit section 26. <br />The reclamation sequence for the property will be as follows: <br />1. Rough grade the shorelines. <br />2. Replace overburden and topsoil and grade out. <br />3. Drill seed cover crop in spring and seed permanent grass <br />into mown stubble, - or - <br />4. Drill seed permanent grass in fall and cover with mulch <br />and crimp down. <br />5. Reseed grasses where necessary. <br />Replacement of overburden and topsoil will be done in phases as <br />outlined. The replacement will allow for material stripped from <br />the next phase of mining to be replaced in the previously <br />completed phase. This will minimize material handling and <br />disturbance of stockpiled overburden and topsoil. <br />The proposed post mining land use is compatible with surrounding <br />land uses. Historically the area is zoned for agriculture, but now <br />has many gravel quarries and residential subdivisions. <br />The proposed reclamation plan meets the requirements of Rule 6 in <br />the MLRD regulations as follows; <br />E-1 <br />
