R-13 EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan (6.4.5) (Revised 10-27-05) (2) (a) It is the intent of the owner/operator to reclaim the affected area to meet the criteria of a proposed post-mining residential development. It is not yet known the extent of mining related activity within the "Possible Affected Area" as shown on Exhibit F. A conveyance corridor and/ or a haul road may be necessary across this area to move mined material from Phase E to the aggregate plant location. It is likely the permanent roadway proposed and shown on Exhibit F will provides for this corridor. As mentioned in Exhibit D, mining will be sequential n nature with no more than twenty acres being mined at one time. Thus, reclamation throughout all phases will be performed in the same manner. Reclamation efforts will vary between the mining phases and are discussed as follows: Phases A, B, C, and D -The type of reclamation proposed for these phases is to replace the mined area with 1' - 2' of overburden and 6" - 8" of available topsoil. The post-mining slope along the eastern mining limits will be graded to no less than a 3:1 slope ratio. The method proposed to replace overburden and topsoil will involve slot dozing the respective material from atop the eastern and peripheral mining boundaries. The area will then tie graded to meet the post-mining development requirements. Ttie total mined area of Phases A, B, C, and D to be reclaimed is approximately 57 acres. Phase E -This phase exhibits no topsoil. The area that has been deforested and currently has sporadic sage growth present. Tlie type of reclamation proposed here is to replace overburden to a depth of 1' - 2' utilizing the earthmoving method discussed ab~~ve. is proposed that the surface of this phase be graded and s 'sized for future residential development. Methods of stab tion may involve seeding with dry land grasses an e spreads of gravel bearing material. / '. - .- ' - \_ `~ 6
