1 <br />1 <br />EXHIEIT E <br />RECLAMATIOIV PLAN <br />----------- ---- <br />General: The land will 6e reclaimed to a gentle sloping <br />southwest facing landform. The total land surface will be <br />lowered an average 5 feet from its e:;isting topography. Any <br />1 drainage from the reclaimed surface will be toward the southwest <br />' as is now the case. <br />Reclamation will be for a post mining land-use of historic- <br />' mining site and general wildlife use. At present wildlife use is <br />very light due to physical barriers and lack of habitat (see <br />1 E;;hibits H, I, and J). Any reclamation of the site would improve <br />er;isting conditions (photos 19 thru =~). <br />'fhe reclamation of this site will provide security cover and <br />' some minor habitat benefit to wildlife although this may 6e <br />precluded by the 1-acre lot platted subdivisions of Valley of the <br />Sun filing and E+eaver Creel:: to the east and north. Gn the west <br />' and south the permit area is bounded by highway 9, yet another <br />obstacle to wildlife use of the area. <br />~S <br />Grading: As the mining progress from trench 1 to trench <br />tailings occurring on tap of the trench 2 resource will be <br />bac4:filled into trench 1. Due to the rounded nature and physical <br />' sire (generally ~~.5 to 2 feet in diameter) this material will not <br />be compacted, but is e;;pected to achieve near cubic-closest <br />' packing. Mine soil (E;;hibit I, map unit MS) will be placed over <br />the tailings 'to a depth of 1 to feet. The application of mine <br />1 sari are top of the much coarser tailings will provide an <br />7 <br />
