Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />Also refer to Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map <br />This site will be reclaimed to 2 reservoirs (Surcharge Reservoir and Raindance <br />Reservoir #1) sealed with clay liners. The remainder of the affected property shall be <br />graded and revegetated as shown in Exhibit F and described below. The main areas to <br />be topsoiled are the cut slopes from the existing grade to the crest of the reservoirs. It is <br />anticipated that all topsoil stockpiled shall be used on the project for reclamation and <br />revegetation of cut and fill slopes along the reservoir or haul road. Some additional <br />overburden material may be sold or moved off site. <br />Topsoil Segreoation, Preservation and Replacement <br />Topsoil will be initially stripped from both Mines and placed on the north side of East <br />Mine. Topsoil that is expected to remain stockpiled for more than one growing season <br />will be seeded with a long season (>120 day) or sterile sorghum, or other approved <br />cover grass. <br />Regrading and Shaping <br />Reservoir banks and haul road will be graded as shown in Exhibit F <br />Revegetation and Mulching <br />Revegetation of the following seed mix will be performed via drill seeding, with a drill <br />spacing on 6-12" and a planting depth of/z". Grass drill should have double disk furrow <br />openers with seed tubes between the openers, picker wheels, seedbox agitators, depth <br />bands, and press wheels. <br />Fertilizer may be applied at the time of seeding, if necessary as indicated by soil tests. If <br />fertilizer is required, phosphorus will be applied before seeding, and nitrogen will be <br />applied after the stand is established. Mulch such as grass hay or cereal grain straw will <br />also be applied to the reseeded area at the rate of 2,000 pounds of mulch per acre, to <br />provide 70 percent ground cover. <br />Raindance Sand and Gravel Mine March 18, 2004 <br />Hilltop Aquatic Investments, LLC ] 2 04001 <br />
