<br /> <br />Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />Reclamation will occur concurrently with mining as described in Exhibit D. The <br />post mining land use will be rangeland. The final planned configuration of the area is <br />illustrated on the Exhibit F map included herein. The elements of the reclamation plan <br />are given below. <br />Backfilling <br />All overburden salvaged during the mining operation will be backfilled into the <br />pit using a scraper and dozer. If a secondary runoff control impoundment is created <br />between Phases 2 and 3, the dam will be graded and backfilled into the pond area. <br />However, the berm of the principal runoff collection pond will not be graded as this <br />feature will be left for use by the landowner as a stock water pond. <br />r din <br />The side slopes of the pit will be graded to no steeper than a ratio of 3:1 (h:v). <br />The pit floor will be smooth graded to form a gentle slope of around two to three <br />percent toward the south (the Exhibit F map illustrates the final topography ). <br />The final surface configuration of the lands surrounding the pit area will be <br />virtually identical to the existing ground surface slope and require little minor smooth <br />grading. In such areas the approximate original contour will occur. <br />Runoff Diversions <br />Because of the site's topographic setting at the head of a drainage divide, no <br />permanent runoff control diversions are necessary. However, the runoff ditches <br />constructed as part of storm water control may be left to assist in collecting water for <br />the stock water pond. <br />-i3- <br />
