<br /> EXHIBIT E (Cont'd) <br />1 <br />' The true amount of overburden available for backfilling is <br /> absolutely impossi ble to estimate. Lateral changes in over- <br />' burden occur with unpredictable suddenness. <br /> It should be understood that except in Stage-Phase O and <br />' VI, the process of stripping the overburden is also the backfill <br />' process. The overburden is moved from the site to be mined to <br />the phase to be reclaimed with no secondary or tertiary handling. <br />' Thus, the cost of reclamation is greatly reduced. <br />After stripping-backfilling, the phase being reclaimed will <br />receive final grading and recoiling. The soil will be moved from <br />its stockpile area nearby and will be spread to a depth averaging <br />1 approximately 12 inches. <br />' Finally, revegetation, fertilization and mulching will com- <br />plete the reclamation program. These processes will be discussed <br />t later in this exhibit. <br />Reclamation Standards <br />Backfilling and grading will create a topography appropriate <br /> <br />1 <br />to the final land use. <br />This open-pit operation will have no drill holes or auger <br />holes remaining. There are no addits or shafts. <br />There are to be no earth dams. <br />No toxic or acid-forming material will be encountered or <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />used in the operation. <br />- 18 - <br />1 <br />
