• • EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAIalATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE <br />' Reclamation Plan. The proposed use of the affected land is as <br />it is now, part of the buffer zone around the Department of Energy's <br />' Rocky Flats Plant and as a habitat for non-critical wildlife. Two <br />' depressions, one on the south end and one on the north end of the <br />. ~ -~ <br />property, of about fifty feet in depth will be regraded and revege- <br />~. <br />- ~ <br />Ctated in each reclamation phase. <br />Reclamation of the area mined by Lakewood Brick since July 1, <br />1 1976, will be carried out in five phases. Reclamation will commence <br />' immediately following completion of each mining stage. It is planned <br />that the necessary backfilling, regrading, sloping, resoiling and <br />' revegetation will be completed in the first year of each phase. The <br />' usual planting;. mulching and fertilizing will be done in the fall of <br />each revegetation year. During the remaining years of each reclama- <br />' tion phase (three years in Phases 1, 2 and R and four years in <br />Phase 0 and B.L.), reclamation progress will be monitored, and <br />' remedial work will be performed where necessary. <br />' To begin reclamation on the north, east and south of each phase <br />the overburden stockpiles will be pushed into the pit in successive <br />' layers. Equipment movement and material handling over each layer <br /> should compact the material to a condition that is acceptable for <br />' a non-building reclamation plan. This backfilling plus the final <br /> grading will create slopes in the pit that are of approximately <br />' <br /> 2 to <br />' The western side of the pit is bounded by the Fox Hills sand- <br /> stone, which has a dip of 45° (1 to 1). This natu ral slope will <br />1 <br /> 12 (Revised) <br />
