EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The proposed reclamation plan does meet the requirements of Rule 3 of the <br />Division of Minerals and Geology Rules and Regulations as follows: <br />3.1.1 Post-Mining Use <br />The final reclamation use for this entire site will be pastureland. The site <br />will be graded such that the original drainage basins in the area are <br />maintained. The newly constructed access road from County Road 61 to the <br />mine site will not be reclaimed per the landowner Pickering Family LLC. <br />Other land uses on adjacent properties include rangeland and pastureland to <br />the north and east. To the south is a portion of rangeland owned by Grand <br />County and then the Granby Airport. To the west is a 42 acres parcel just <br />purchased by the land owner for access to the proposed pit. <br />Once mining has been completed in the mining area the land will be graded <br />and scarified prior to placing topsoil. Topsoil material will be placed evenly <br />over the site to a depth of approximately four (4) inches. <br />Seeding of the site will take place in the fall once the topsoil has been <br />reclaimed to the area. Seed will be planted following the recommendations <br />of the local Soil Conservation Service attached letter. All seeded areas will <br />be mulched with Iton/acre weed free hay after seeding is complete. Trees <br />and shrubs are not proposed for this site. <br />3.1.5 Grading <br />(1) The proposed grading will create topography that is appropriate for <br />the final end use selected for the site. The steepest slope proposed for the <br />site will be 3H:1 V. Since the proposed pit is in a draw these slopes will be <br />on the north, east and south walls. <br />(2) There will be no backfilling of any mined area at this site. All grading <br />done on the property will be compacted to assure stability. There are no <br />known toxic materials on the site that could cause leaching problems. <br />(3) All proposed grading will be done to minimize and control erosion <br />and sedimentation of the affected land and prevent off-site discharge of
