EXHIBIT E -RECLAMATION PLAN <br />With mining ongoing from west to east, we will be moving our processing <br />equipment to the east to stay in close proximity to the gravel highwall. As our <br />stockpiles are depleated and added to, they will also move in an easterly <br />direction. As this happens, the ground not being used on the west side of the <br />permitted area will be reclaimed allowing us to operate in 15 or less disturbed <br />acres with an ongoing mining and reclamation activity. <br />There is little brush or topsoil on these gravel deposits. In some pockets it is <br />deeper than the other areas. The amount that is there will be collected, put in a <br />topsoil pile and respread over the disturbed area after mining is complete. <br />After the brush topsoil mixture has been spread over the disturbed area, we will <br />seed that area with a mixture of grass seed as per NRC recommendations (see <br />attached). <br />Since you have recommended our reclamation bond be increased by $2000 for <br />the 10 acre disturbed area of our 110 permit, we would estimate that the bond or <br />letter of credit be for $12,000 for the proposed 15 acre area disturbance. <br />All highwalls and slopes will be reduced to a 3 to 1 slope during reclamation. <br />The sediment pond will be maintained throughout the entirity of the 112 permit <br />
