<br />EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />The beneficial end use is designated as pasture land incorporated azound a lake. The slope and <br />vegetative cover will be conducive to the grazing of cattle and horses. <br />The paved access road into the pasture land azea will be lefr intact. In addition, an access road <br />will be established along the southern and western edge of the mining to provide access to the <br />northern area for maintenance. <br />In the final reclamation state, the land will be reclaimed in the following categories: <br />Lake 80 Acres <br />Pasture land 18 Acres <br />Undisturbed ground 35 Acres <br />Total 133 Acres <br />The mining operation will create a lazge and a small lake. Mining along the shoreline will be at a <br />maximum of a 3:1 slope. As the mining progresses through a certain length of shoreline, the <br />overburden and topsoil will be replaced on the Lakeshore above the projected waterline. <br />In this rural azea of Weld County grazing and mining is a predominate land use along the Poudre <br />River. Thus the post mining use proposed here is compatible. The Weld County Comprehensive <br />Plan allows for mining uses in the rural and agricultural zones. <br />The operator will comply with Rule 3.1 according to the following measures: <br />Reclamation Measures/Materials Handling <br />The mining will create the rough topography for the lake shore. Instead of being mined <br />vertically, these lakeshores will be mined at the 3:1 configuration. See detail on Exhibit F for <br />proposed Lakeshore configuration. Overburden and topsoil will be placed on the shoreline for <br />final grading. Compaction of this overburden will occur by the scrapers and dozers which place <br />the soil. There aze no structures proposed here so no greater compaction is required. Final <br />grading will be done along the contours and revegeta[ion will occur as soon as possible to <br />prevent erosion. Lakeshores will be graded and seeded within one to two yeazs after the mining <br />occurs. <br />The mining will leave no highwalls on the property. No acid forming or toxic materials aze used <br />in the mining. There will be no auger holes, adits, or shafts left on the property. The operator <br />will utilize concurrent reclamation in this operation. <br />E-1 <br />
