EXHIBIT E -RECLAMATION PLAN <br />This section follows the requirements outlined in Section 6.4.5. The proposed mining and <br />' reclamation plans focus on minimizing the ecological impacts of mining, minimizing the <br />length of time of impact and maximizing long-term benefits. <br />' A. Describe the type(s) of reclamation the Operator/Applicant proposes to achieve, why each <br />type was chosen, the amount of acreage accorded 1o each, and a general discussion of <br />reclamation methods as related to the mechanics of earthmoving. <br />NCCI developed the reclamation plan based on the depth and configuration of the gravel <br />resource. Reclamation for the mining area includes: <br />i <br />~~ <br />Ponds ~ ', 'l/-l~;`o <br />NCCI will create five ponds during final site reclamation. The lakes will total ~.n ~/ ' ~ ~ <br />approximately 67 acres in size. Anticipated uses include irrigation water storage and ~ <br />recreational use. <br />Earthmoving <br />' The topsoil will be replaced by loaders and generally graded with a blade. All grading <br />shall be done in a manner that controls erosion and siltation of the affected lands to protect <br />' areas outside the affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, all backfilling <br />and grading shall be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. All disturbed <br />areas shall be regraded and smoothed to a finished grade that is suitable for revegetation or <br />' the final land use. <br /> <br />NCCI d4ining Proposal jor the NCC/ Pit d 1- MLRB I I2Permit <br />17 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
