6.4.5 Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />Reclamation Summary <br />The reclamation plan for Cell 2 is to construct two separate clay-lined lakes, each <br />with approximately 16 acres of surface area. Cells 3, 5, and 6 will be backfilled <br />to approximate historic grade. Cell 4 will be clay-lined to prevent groundwater <br />inflow into the cell and left as a pond with 3:1 slopes. <br />Reclamation of the pits will occur concurrently with mining whenever and <br />wherever possible. The general order of reclamation activities is given in Table <br />6.4.5-1, Reclamation Sequence Summary. <br />Table 6.4.5-1 - Reclamation Sequence Summary <br />Reclamation Activity Reclamation Sequence <br />Backfill areas adjacent to Oil and Gas 2 weeks following excavation adjacent <br />Structures - 200 ft radius to Oil and Gas wells <br />Backfill lake perimeter of Cell 2A During and following Mining of Cell 2A <br />Clay line Cell 2A Upon completion of mining and <br />backfilling of Cell 2A <br />Backfill Cell 2B During and following Mining of Cell 2B <br />Backfill Western Portion of Cell 2C During and following Mining of the <br />Eastern Portion of Cell 2C <br />Backfill Cell 3 to approx. historic grade <br />Backfill Cell 5 to approx. historic grade <br />Backfill Cell 6 to approx. historic grade <br />Following mining of Cell 6 and Cell 4 <br />Following mining of Cell 5 <br />Following mining of Cell 6, with <br />material from Borrow Cell (Erie) <br />Clay line Cell 4 <br />Final Slope Grading to 3:1 <br />Surface Soil Replacement <br />Seeding and Fertilizing <br />Following mining of Cell 4 <br />Following mining activity for each cell <br />Following slope grading <br />Following final surface soil <br />replacement <br />Concurrent Backfillina Adiacent to Oil and Gas Structures <br />Agreements between ASCI and the owners of oil and gas structures specify that <br />mining can occur no closer than 75 ft from oil and gas well facilities as a <br />temporary condition. ASCI will backfill areas adjacent to oil and gas oil and gas <br />wells as shown on Exhibit C-2, Mine Plan Maps. Backfilling adjacent to oil and <br />gas structures to a radial distance of 200 ft will occur within two weeks following <br />excavation near oil and gas structures. The total volume of material needed to <br />backfill these areas is approximately 100,000-120,000 yd3
