EXHIBIT "E" <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />6.4.5 The Reclamation Plan for the Blue Grass Gravel Pit is as follows (Please also see the <br />attached Reclamation Plan map, Exhibit "F"): <br />(1) In preparing the Reclamation Plan: <br />The Reclamation Plan addresses the following items; conceptual slurry wall construction, final <br />grading, which includes drainage, seeding, soil amendments, topsoil replacement, soil <br />stabilization, and seedbed preparation. To fully understand the Reclamation Plan, the following <br />Plan and Reclamation Plan Map, Exhibit "F" should be reviewed together. <br />(2) This Reclamation Plan shall include provision for, or satisfactory explanation of the <br />general requirements for the type of reclamation proposed: <br />(a) A description of the types of reclamation proposed to be achieved in the <br />reclamation of the affected land and why chosen, the amount of acreage accorded to each, <br />and a general discussion of the methods of reclamation as related to the mechanics of <br />earthmoving: <br />The Operator/Applicant will reclaim this mine site back to developed water resource, two incised <br />water storage reservoirs with additional capacity provided by earthen embankments, as the <br />Landowner/Operator/Applicant has directed. <br />Earth moving will consist of backfilling the pit area with excess overburden as necessary to <br />ensure protection of the slurry wall backfill. The site will be mined at a slope angle protective of <br />the integrity of the virgin material inboard of the slurry wall once the excavation is close to the <br />toe of the final pit slope. If backfill is found necessary, it will be done in six inch (6") to twelve <br />inch lifts, commensurate with the quality of the replaced material and appropriately compacted <br />between lifts. The pit floor will be left level and plated to a depth of from four (4) to six (6) <br />inches, with reject material from the sand and gravel processing operations. (No waste asphalt <br />or cement wall be place in the portion of the excavated area intended as developed water <br />resource.) Typical equipment, such asfront-end loaders, dozers, scrapers or any combination, <br />will be used to move earthen materials on-site. <br />Slurry walls in each of the two pits (East Pit and West Pit) are an integral part of the proposed <br />reclamation plan. Following is a conceptual plan for slurry wall construction and a typical <br />Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program. A set of detailed plans and a detailed <br />QA/QC program will be provide in the form of a Technical Revision once other key permits and <br />approvals are obtained by the Applicant/Operator. No slurry wall construction .will begin until a <br />
