<br />EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />The area that is affected at the present time has 4 s~.tack- <br />piles of usuable gravel The remaining mined area will be used <br />for future stock piles. Two of these piles x111 be eliminated <br />around April, but the area will be needed for the other piles, <br />so T see no reclamation to take place for approximently 2 years, <br />[de x111 continue to stock pile the top soil towards the <br />i+est end of the mine xhere we have 2 piles already. The top soil <br />is removed by scrappers or. our D-8 cat and hauled to the existing <br />• <br />piles or piled in a nex pile. <br />When the area is cleaned up and will not be mined or used <br />for stockpiling anymore, oui• reclamation will take place. First, <br />our scrappers will bring in a fill material to fill in the holes <br />and graduate out the steep slopes of the mining perimeter to;,meet/ <br />the existing ground contour. We then x111 place 6-12" of topsoil <br />over the reclamed area which x111 be taken from the stockpiles by <br />ourserappers. Since ue've also been in the farming business for <br />20 years, xe will be very carefull with the placing of topsoil <br />so there x111 be very little, if any, conditions For soil erosion. <br />When this is done, the seed bed will be prepared by pulling a 20' <br />off set disc over the area and the placing of a light coat of <br />manure to help hold the soil from bloiaing, Seeding will take <br />place with a disc shoe drill with the planting of blue gramma, <br />~, <br />~~•, ., <br />[~.1 ' <br />~Ph. <br />/~~'. <br />~ -. <br />.~ <br />r~ ~ <br />~.a <br />~~ <br />western xheat grass or side oats gramma.
