i .-;~. <br />/~/77'O Q <br />EXHIBIT E: RECLAMATION PLAN <br />After 31 Years, when the anticipated 1if of this mine <br />has expired, all that portion of the mine not underwater <br />will have been revegetated.r-Additionally, cottonwood <br />i <br />trees will remain in the X100` band between the mine and <br />~~~ <br />the river, and continue to provide an excellant habitat <br />for bald eagles and other species of wildlife. <br />Although completion of the first stage of the mine is <br />not expected to be accomplished in less than 16 years, <br />efforts will have been made throughout this period to <br />ensure establishment of stable, irregular pit slopes and <br />• floor, drainage of the site, and protection of the natural <br />resources on the site not actually part of the mine. <br />By the completion of each stage of the mines development <br />final grading and revegetation for the area of the stage <br />will be substantially complete. Steps toward successful <br />revegetation will entail shaping and redistribution of <br />' soil to provide adequate 6"-8" cover and drainage. <br />Per recommendations of the Colorado Division of Wildlife, <br />grading will be performed in such a manner as to leave <br />pit sideslopes and the shale floor of the pit irregular. <br />Care will be exercised during this process to ensure <br />that remainind deciduous natural woodland vegetation on <br />the site is saved. <br />
