EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN
TYPE OF RECLAMATION
Because two different groups of claims are mined out of one
adit, using essentially the same surface area, the affected acreage
has been divided between Cotter Corporation and the other party
(Kelmine Corporation) for purposes of reclamation.
Using a Caterpillar D-7 (or other appropriate equipment), the
waste dump will be graded into the existing hillside, extending the
toe of the hill out as far as necessary without impairing existing
drainage. Compacted areas will be scarified. (See Exhibit A for
breakdown of affected acreage.)
LAND USE
The JD-6 area is zoned agricultural-open by the Montrose
County Planning Department, permitting mining operations as a use
by right. At present, the use is multiple purpose: mining,
wildlife habitat, and winter rangeland. In the foreseeable future,
post-mining land use will be the same.
