EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN AND TIMETABLE <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The proposed future use is to back fill the excavated area <br />and level the property so it can be developed for commercial <br />uses. This site contains 7 lots which have commercial and <br />agricultural zone designations with Adams County. The land <br />owners intend to have the entire area zoned commercial at some <br />point . Please refer to MAP EXHIBIT F -RECLAMATION PLAN MAP for the <br />location of the areas discussed in this text. <br />As mining progresses the slopes into the excavated area will <br />be mined at or near 2h to lv as discussed in the MINING PLAN. This <br />leaves a stable slope around the excavated area which will insure <br />that if mining ceases before it is complete no bank stabilization <br />will be needed even if the mined area was not backfilled. <br />In the MINING PLAN we explained how mining would take place on <br />10.96 acres ± within the permit boundary. During the reclamation <br />phase the entire excavated area will be backfilled using material <br />as defined in Colorado Department of Health Regulations as "Inert <br />material", i.e. old concrete, asphalt, dirt, sand and gravel, <br />masonry products and rubble from construction sites. As the <br />material arrives the driver will be directed to an area where <br />fill is being placed. The material will then be pushed into the <br />hole using either a front-end loader or bulldozer. Because there <br />will be a need for finer fill and topsoil to complete the cap <br />over course material, some of that material will be segregated <br />and saved for this purpose. The pond created by mining will be <br />backfilled to the original ground surface level and an additional <br />fill will be placed so the site has a uniform elevation of 5107 <br />feet which is slightly higher than the frontage road. This will <br />make the development area elevation the same as the Roy property <br />elevation on the north. No water will be left on the site. <br />Setbacks from the property line will be 25 feet. This will <br />leave a level area around the fill that will be graded so any <br />surface water runoff will flow to the property interior and be <br />retained on site. This setback will allow access to the property <br />line. When filling is complete the side slopes and setback area <br />will be resoiled and revegetated using the approved seed mixture. <br />The reclamation timetable shows the amount of land in each <br />reclamation area when complete. Approximately 30% of the area in <br />the permit will be resoiled and revegetated the other 70% will <br />require only grading and shaping. <br />9 <br />
