<br />EXHIBIT E -RECLAMATION PLAN <br />Introduction <br />~ks and Gesso, LLC <br />Ten to fifteen percent of the proposed mining area will be backfilled and reclaimed as <br />rangeland, while the majority of the site will be clay-lined or utilize slurry walls to create <br />water storage and wildlife habitat. Public recreational use is not anticipated. <br />The current uses of the proposed mining area and surrounding land are agricultural and <br />residential with some oil and gas production; uses which are compatible with the <br />proposed water storage and limited development uses. The existing residence and <br />farming structures in the northwest corner of the permitted area will be relocated by the <br />landowner to an area outside the permitted area during the course of mining operations <br />(see Exhibit C-3). Oil and gas wells located on-site will be maintained indefinitely, and <br />negotiations are underway with well and pipeline owners which will likely result in <br />abandonment and/or relocation of certain existing oil and gas facilities. <br />Materials Handlino <br />Mining and reclamation will proceed northerly, in one phase, from the southern portion of <br />the site toward Weld County Road 26. The first area to be mined, approximately 6.5 <br />acres north of and adjacent to the Last Chance Ditch, will be mined for the sand and <br />gravel reserves and then backfilled using excess overburden from the permitted area <br />and also inert fill materials, as defined by the Colorado Department of Health and <br />Environment. <br />The inert fill will be inspected before placement as backfill to prevent burial of any <br />unacceptable material. According to a Memorandum of Understanding between the <br />CDPHE and DMG, disposal of inert fill material is allowed on aDMG-permitted site if the <br />amount of fill material imported is less than 1 million cubic yards and the disposal site is <br />less than 15 acres in area. The site will meet both of these criteria. A significant amount <br />of material to be used as backfill will be excess native overburden from the permitted <br />area. <br />Lohmann Sand and Gravel Mine.DMG.112 2005: <br />L G.
