RECLAMATION PLAN EXHIBIT E (cont) <br />The mining and reclamation plans consider existing wildlife <br />use of the site. This mine is located in a urban setting so few <br />wildlife species have been observed on the site. During mining <br />and reclamatiorr-a few terrestrial mammals, amphibians and birds <br />will be displaced. There is adequate habitat on surrounding <br />properties for the displaced critters to go until reclamation is <br />complete. Creation and management of wildlife habitat is not a <br />specific part of the reclamation plan. However, whenever possi- <br />ble the landowners will work toward the improvement of habitat <br />for wildlife around the commercial development area. A wildlife <br />statement was requested from the Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />Northeast Region, on September 20, 2007 and as of this date no <br />response has been received. <br />Topsoil in the area is good quality and deep enough to <br />salvage whatever is needed for reclamation. When topsoil is <br />removed to reach the mineral deposit, it. will be segregated and <br />stockpiled. If the topsoil piles remain undisturbed for more <br />than a year, 2.0 #PLS of Crested Wheatgrass, per 100 sq-ft will <br />be planted on the piles or other means will be employed to <br />preserve the topsoil from wind and water erosion. This will keep <br />it free of contaminants so that it remains useful for sustaining <br />vegetation when reclamation begins. The stockpiles will be <br />located in areas where disturbances by ongoing mining operations <br />will be at a minimum, i.e. along setbacks on the pit perimeter. <br />The topsoil will be handled as little as possible until it is <br />replaced onto disturbed areas. Frei will t;Lke measures necessary <br />to insure the stability of the replaced topsoil on graded slopes <br />and ensuring that it is spread as evenly a possible. Fertilizer <br />and other soil amendments will be used, if needed, in accordance <br />with the NRCS recommendations. <br />R CLI L-44 R ON ON TIALE T lBLE <br />Reclamation will begin once enough area has been opened so <br />that any reclamation completed will not be disturbed as mining <br />progresses. This may take 5 or more years depending on the <br />economic conditions in the area and the amount of material mined. <br />By the time mining is completed approximately 500 of the total <br />mined land will be reclaimed. As mining ends only final back- <br />filling, grading and shaping of the site will be needed. Final <br />seeding will probably be by the end of the second fall after <br />mining is completed. The area will be monitored for success of
