~' • • <br />EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />' The proposed reclamation For this land will be for grazing purposes. This is <br />compatible with the present land use. The land in the vicinity of Gravel Plant ~3 is <br />' zoned agricultural and contains a sanitazy landfill, gravel pits and grazing; land. The <br />nearest non-agricultural zoning is the town of Superior, three miles to the north-east. It <br />is zoned suburban residential. <br />Before reseeding, the disturbed area will be contoured to break abrupt topographic <br />changes and provide compatibility with surrounds. Maximum anticipated slope will be <br />' 3:1. There will be no addits, shafts or holes to reclaim. <br />Topsoil for reclamation will be drawn from Nederland, Niwot and Calkins soil <br />' profiles. It will be stockpiled onto azeas where erosional hazards aze least .likely. This <br />area is indicated on the Mine Plan Map (EXIiIB1T C). If any soil is stockpil~~d for more <br />' than a year, a vegetation mixture similaz to the final revegetation mixture ~Aill be used <br />for stabilization. <br />In order to effect favorable bulk density prior to reseeding, the l:~ad will be <br />' ripped, scazified or disced following final grading. Reseeding shall then be accomplished <br />' the autumn prior to the first feasible growing season subsequent to exhausting each <br />phase. Table I contains anticipated species and seeding rates. Should data become <br />' available indicating that other species of native grasses may be more appropriate, this <br />may be modified. <br />The method of seed application will be broadcasting and hazrowing, or drilling. <br />The seeding rate will be double for broadcasting. Mulching may be required on slopes <br />~' where there is an erosional hazazd. If aecessazy, the fertilizer mixture recommended by <br />Colorado State University for this soil (see EXHIBIT I) will be mixed with the t~~psoil. <br />1 <br />1 <br />
