6.4.5 Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />Seeding and Fertilizing <br />The current vegetation type on the site is pasture and hayfields dominated by <br />smooth brome (Bromopsis inermis). Hay is harvested from the fields 3 or 4 times <br />each year starting in early June. Restoration will consist of seeding all disturbed <br />areas within the permit area excluding areas within the normal pool elevation of <br />the ponds and the site access road. The recommended seeding method is by <br />drill, and seeding rates assume this method. <br />Table 2 <br />Species <br />Rate <br />Native or <br />Wet or <br />Cool <br />Cost <br />Cost per acre <br />(Variety) <br />pls /acre <br />Introduced <br />Season <br />per pis <br />Ibs /acre <br />Thickspike <br />acre <br />acres) <br />Diammonium Phosphate <br />250 <br />$0.55 <br />wheatgrass <br />8.0 to 10.0 <br />Native <br />Cool <br />$11.70 <br />$93.60- 1.17.00 <br />(Critana) <br />P 2 O5 with 18 -21 %N) <br />Sideoats . <br />grama <br />5.0 to 7.0 <br />Native <br />Warm <br />$7.25 <br />$36.25 -50.75 <br />(Vaughn) <br />Switchgrass <br />(Nebraska= <br />4.0 to 6.0 <br />Native <br />Warm <br />$5.00 <br />$20.00 -30.00 <br />20) <br />Alfalfa <br />3.0 to 5.0 <br />Introduced <br />N/A <br />$1.90 <br />$5.70 -9.50 <br />(Nomad) <br />Based on Table 2, an application rate of roughly 20.0 to 28.0 pounds live seed <br />(pls) per acre will be used.

A standard application of fertilizer will <br />be used at a rate of 250 Ibs /acre as shown in Table 3: <br />Table 3 <br />The total area to be seeded is approximately 37 acres.
