EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan <br />Each of the three pit areas will be sloped when completed. The final use will be for <br />wildlife habitat after the grass has been re-established. <br />a) The stockpiled topsoil will be replaced in those azeas outside the creek before <br />seeding of the pit occurs. There is about 5" of topsoil on the areas with Rago, <br />Kuma, and Platner loam soils soil complex. All of the stockpiled topsoil will <br />be returned. We anticipate this to be in the 5" depth range. We anticipate <br />seeding the temporary topsoil stockpiles with brome grass to prevent erosion. <br />b) Slopes no greater than 3:1 will be left in the completed pit. <br />c) Seeding will not occur until the entire area has been mined. A seeding <br />recommendation from the Phillips County NRCS is attached and will be the <br />basis of the reclamation plan. No seeding will occw in the flow area of the <br />creek, as that grass would simply be washed out when heavy rainfall occurs. <br />d) Two or three small depressions may be left in the creek flow area in hopes <br />that water might accumulate and be available for wildlife once the pit is <br />completed. <br />e) The temporary haul roads will be reclaimed once the mining is complete. <br />f) There are no other reclamation treatments to note for this site. <br />A cost estimate for final reclamation bas been prepared and is attached. <br /> <br /> <br /> ~- i <br />C' <br />
