EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />u <br />INTRODUCTIONa The current reclamation plan for this operation calls far <br />the production of 3:1 slopes all around the pit. In order to accomplish <br />that would require extensive regrading of slopes as well as backfilling. <br />It would 6e much simpler if the pit could be partially filled with some <br />material and opened to the south so there was much less grading needed <br />to produce suitable slopes. <br />Until now the possibilities of that occurring were slim at best <br />because the irrigation ditch provided a major blockage to any opening to <br />the south and backfilling to an extensive er.tent was prohibitively <br />expensive. Now that the ditch can be moved to the north side of the pit <br />and the dike separating this operation from the one to the south can 6e <br />removed as well as the west side lowered to some extent, the possibility <br />• of acheiving a final land use that would be mare compatible with the <br />land uses occurring in the area can be fully realized. In fact, now <br />there is even a readily available, inexpensive material which can be <br />used to 6ackfill the pit partially and thereby reduce even further the <br />difficulties of grading the slopes. This reclamation plan will describe <br />how this will be accomplished. <br />GRADIN6_ The original concept of producing 3:1 slopes will remain a <br />major part of the plan. However, as can be seen an the Reclamation Plan <br />Map, these slopes will be greatly shortened by means of partially <br />backfilling the pit with material derived from the Daniel's Sand Pit # 2 <br />processing area to the south. <br />• <br />F'AGE 1 DF 8 - EXHIBIT E <br />
