Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan <br />Overview <br />The post-mining use of the Proctor Pit will be rangeland. Reclamation calls for <br />stabilization and cover of disturbed areas in accordance with standards that will <br />accommodate the proposed post-mining use. The permit area will be reclaimed using <br />concurrent reclamation techniques. <br />Reclamation Process <br />Reclamation will consist of establishment of slopes, re-spreading of soil, seeding, and <br />management prior to release. Maximum slopes will accommodate cattle movement. <br />The 47 acres of seeded ground will be incorporated into the open range of the owner's <br />property. <br />Due to the intermittent nature of the mining, only estimates for the timing of the <br />reclamation are given. The mining will progress to the south and east from the original <br />disturbances. Generally, an area will be reclaimed when all the resource is removed <br />and the mining face has moved to the limit of mining. Parts of the pit floor will be <br />reclaimed when they are longer needed for circulation or the gravel processing plant. <br />The operator expects that reclamation will be performed in three to five year intervals. <br />The existing disturbed area is the exception to this general rule, as this area will serve as <br />the initial gravel processing plant site for mining and as the site for an asphalt plant, if <br />one is set on the property. Therefore this area will be the last to be reclaimed <br />concurrently with the southern sections of the pit. The access road will be reclaimed at <br />the end also. <br />Estimated Reclamation Schedule <br /> Active Reclamation <br />Phase Mining (Years from (Years from <br /> commencement of operations) commencement <br />111 <br />Permit Complete 16 - 18 <br />New 1 to 15 4 to 18 <br />Ail-Rite Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc. 09002 <br />Proctor Pit 10 July, 2009
