• C; EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan The beneficial end use is designated as a water reservoir. The paved access road into the reservoir will be left intact. In addition, an access road will be established along the edge of the reservoir to allow for maintenance vehicles. In the final reclamation state, the land will be reclaimed in the following categories: Lake 72 Acres Shoreline 8 Acres Undisturbed ground 1 Acres Total 81 Acres Mining along the shoreline will be at a maximum of a 3:1 slope. As the mining progresses through a certain length of shoreline, the overburden and topsoil will be replaced on the lakeshore above the projected waterline. In this rural azea of Weld County grazing and mining is a predominate land use along the South Platte River. Thus the post mining use proposed here is compatible. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan allows for mining uses in the rural and agricultural zones. The operator will comply with Rule 3.1 according to the following measures: Reclamation Measures/Materials Handling The mining will create the rough topography for the lake shore. Instead of being mined vertically, these lakeshores will be mined at the 3:1 configuration. See detail on Exhibit C for proposed Lakeshore configuration. Overburden and topsoi! will be placed on the shoreline for final grading. Compaction of this overburden will occur by the scrapers and dozers which place the soil. There are no structures proposed here so no greater compaction is required. Final grading will be done along the contours and revegetation will occur as soon as possible to prevent erosion. Lakeshores will be graded and seeded within one to two years after the mining occurs. The mining will leave no highwalls on the property. No acid forming or toxic materials aze used in the mining. There will be no auger holes, adits, or shafts left on the property. The operator will utilize concurrent reclamation in this operation. E-1
