• RECLAMATION PLAN <br />1. General Reclamation Plan <br />EXHIBIT E <br />The total disturbed area of the permit is approximately 23.2 acres. The 12.2 acres of Phase 1 will <br />be used as a storage and maintenance yard for County equipment. Phase 2, covering an area of <br />10.0 acres, will be used for further storage. The remaining permit area consists of the access road <br />to the site, topsoil berms, and undisturbed portions of the site. <br />Reclamation will be conducted as new areas are disturbed throughout the year. This will most <br />likely happen in small increments in the fall of each year, with topsoil being placed along the pit <br />slopes. Additionally, a 6 inch layer of gravel will be placed on the floor of mined out areas that <br />will be part of the permanent industrial yard. Seeding of these slopes will also take place at this <br />time. See Map F for details. Since the mining slope is the same as the reclaimed slope (3H:1 V), <br />no backfilling is needed. This will also help reduce the exposed land area which will reduce the <br />• reclamation bond. <br />2. Topsoiil Replacement <br />Since a large portion of the pre mining land area will become an industrial yard, only the slopes <br />along the west, north, and south sides of the pit need to be revegetated. Topsoil will be replaced <br />to 12"-18" along the slopes. Some of the topsoil will be left in berms along the east side of the <br />operation to shield neighboring property from the industrial yard. Continuous reclamation will <br />help to reduce the amount of retopsoiling/grading/seeding needed to be done after mining is <br />completed. The outer slopes of the pit will be mined to the final slopes, therefore no backfilling <br />necessary. Table E-1 shows the breakdown of topsoil placement. <br />C <br />LaSalle Pit, April 09 E-1
