6.4.5 Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />Backfilling Cell 2 and Cell 3 <br />The next phase of reclamation will occur following excavation of Cell 2. The void <br />left in Cell 2 following completion of gravel extraction will be approximately <br />44,770 yd3. The 14,953 yd3 stockpiled in Cell 3 and an additional 29,817 yd3 <br />stripped from the north of Cell 3 will be backfilled to bring Cell 2 to approximate <br />historic grade. Total volume to backfill Cell 2 is 44,770 yd3 <br />A total of approximately 574,000 yd3 will be needed to bring Cell 3 to <br />approximate historic grade. 131,183 yd3 will come from overburden within Cell 3 <br />itself after spending 29,817 yd3 to complete Cell 2. An additional 160,000 yd3 will <br />come from Cell 1 and 76,000 yd3 will come from Cell 4 for a total of 367,000. <br />The remaining 206,000 needed to bring Cell 4 to grade will come approximately <br />10 acres due south of the existing pond previously backfilled with overburden <br />from the mine that created the existing pond to the west of Cell 1(M-1974120). <br />Slope Grading <br />Cell 1 and Cell 4 will be reclaimed to ponds: All slopes are to be graded no <br />steeper than 3H:1 V. Volumes to reclaim slopes are given in Table 3 -Slope <br />Grading Summary. <br />Table 3 -Slope Grading Summary <br />Linear yd <br />of Slope Volume (yds3] <br />Cell1 1,932 61,840 <br />Cell 0 1,015 32,467 <br />94,307 <br />Topsoil Realacement <br />Topsoil replacement will begin in Cell 2 and Cell 3. Topsoil will have been <br />segregated during stripping. Topsoil replacement in Cell 2 Cell 3, and the Re- <br />located Plumb and Dailey Ditch slopes will occur following the backt]Iling of Cell ; <br />and Cell 3 with overburden. Topsoil replacement along the pond slopes and the <br />backfilled area of the existing pond will occur after Cell 2 and Cell 3 topsoil <br />replacement. Topsoil will be replaced to a depth of 0.25-0.5 ft. <br />Turnpike Mining Resource <br />Regular 112 application <br />
