III IIIIIIIiillii III ~ ~ `~ ~ g ~ <br />999 <br />EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE <br /> <br />Reclamation <br />The operator proposes the planned future <br />i <br />^ <br />~_ <br />i <br />use of the property to be a private recreation area with an <br />improved habitat for wildlife. The affected land will be <br />reclaimed by backfilling the perimeter of the pit to slopes <br />of, 3 to 1 and by creating shallow water areas, or by mining <br />'~ <br />and backfilling to create an irregular shoreline, and by <br />revegetation of the area to its natural conditions that will <br />create a desirable habitat for wildlife. <br />Thel\ake to be created will be approximately 143.611 <br />acres. It will be approximately 4,000 feet long in an east- <br />west direction and will vary in width north to south from 600 <br />feet to 2,100 feet. The shorelines generally will be irregu- <br />lar except in the east and southeast perimeters of the pit. <br />These areas will be relieved by irregularities created by <br />mining or by backfilling so as to present a more natural <br />appearance. Perimeter slopes will be maintained at 3 to 1 or <br />less from five feet above to ten feet below the water level <br />of the lake. <br />One area of 6 to 1 slopes will be created with a sand <br />beach to facilitate swimming and boating if so desired. The <br />tentative selection of a site for the beach area is along the <br />south side near the west end. Separate areas on other parts <br />of the lake shore will have relatively shallow water to encour- <br />age the growth of reeds and rushes and to create a desirable <br />habitat for water fowl. Location of these shallow water areas <br />-14- <br />
