Banks and Gesso. LLC Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan Also refer to Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map. Overview The post-mining use of the Grand River Park Project will be recreational land, covering the 163 acres of permitted area. Reclamation calls for stabilization and cover of disturbed areas in accordance with standards to accommodate the recreational post- mining use. The permit area will be reclaimed using concurrent reclamation techniques, with the potential to release and/or dedicate future recreational land to the Town of Silt in stages. Topsoil Preservation Topsoil stripped prior to mining will be stockpiled separately from overburden as screening berms around the permit boundary, or within the pit area, and will be preserved by a temporary seed mix until ready for placement on the surface. Reclamation Process Reclamation will consist of establishment of contours, re-spreading and any amendment of plant growth medium, seeding and planting, and management prior to release. Final Gradino Final proposed contours in mined areas are shown on the Reclamation Plan Map (Exhibit F). In general, contours in mined areas will, conforming to Rule 3.1.5(7), descend at 3H:1 V from the top of slope to groundwater at approximately 5 feet and then at 3:1 for an additional 10 feet below the groundwater level. Slopes of 2H:iV will be formed from 10 vertical feet below groundwater to the reclaimed pit floor another 10 vertical feet below the transition to 2:1 slopes. The pit floor will be a continuous surface at the bottom of slopes, approximately 25 feet below the original ground surface or 20 feet below the anticipated groundwater level. Excavation equipment will be used to establish most contours on cut material. Where contours are established with backfill, mechanical compaction will be used to ensure stable side slopes.
