<br />EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan 1,791 The existing mining operation (#M-80-248) is permitted for <br />20.91 acres of affected area. This property has been mined out. <br />There are active materials storage piles within the excavations <br />from which Moffat County will continue to operate: its maintenance <br />.program. From west to east, as the stockpiles are reduced, <br />Moffat County will reclaim the affected area as designated under <br />the existing reclamation plan. That plan is incorporated into <br />this reclamation plan by reference, with the following additions: <br />For the existing and the amended plans, which total 40.91 <br />acres, Moffat County will slope the sides of the excavations to a <br />4 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) grade, or flatter. They will <br />apply topsoil to the sloped areas to a depth of 10" to 14". The <br />topsoil will be seeded with alfalfa, and/or with other dry crop <br />seed of the landowner's choice. Moffat County will be eligible <br />for reclamation release after a successful crop harvest. <br />The post-mining use of the land will return to the pre- <br />mining use of dry crop agriculture. <br />There will be no waste-rock dumps, tailing impoundments, <br />underground mine openings or buildings to address. <br />Moffat County will leave a graded and drained access road <br />on the reclaimed property, and/or a small stock water <br />impoundment in the ephemeral drainage, if the landowner requests, <br />otherwise, the total property will be reclaimed according to this <br />plan.
