EXHIBIT E I of 3 <br />AP1 CON!! e <br />„I? 'pip <br />V EE 101;1 <br />7040 W. Hwy. 160 Alsmow C0.81101 (718)6896671 <br />REVISED EXHIBIT E #2 <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />1. Upon completion of the mining of the amended area, the affected area will be a <br />polygon shape in nature with side slopes not greater than 3H:1 V slope. Once grading is <br />complete, topsoil will be distributed within two years. Once inventory has been removed, <br />a four (4) inch layer of topsoil will be applied to the pit floor. Once mixture is applied, it <br />will be re-seeded in accordance with the recommendations of the Natural Resource <br />Conservation Service. <br />2. (a). All phases will be reclaimed as rangeland. The current use of surrounding <br />lands is either rangeland or gravel pits. The choice of rangeland follows the use of <br />the land in the surrounding area. Side slopes will be formed using earthmoving <br />equipment. The pit floor will be prepared for reclamation using earthmoving <br />equipment such as scrapers, motorgraders and dozers. <br />(b). Surrounding land uses are either rangeland or gravel pits. Reclamation of <br />affected area to rangeland is cohesive to surrounding areas. <br />(c). Upon notification to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, the <br />reclamation process will be completed within a five year period. The mined area <br />will be reseeded with a seed mixture recommended by the Natural Resource <br />Conservation Service. The slopes will be graded for 3H:1 V slope to create the <br />final topography. No backfill material will be necessary when making the final <br />slope. A 3H:1 V slope in the pit will help combat erosion and silting of the affected <br />land. This will eliminate the need to stabilize any high walls. Once the grading is <br />complete the land will be prepared to be reclaimed. <br />(d). The topsoil shall be segregated at the pit in designated areas for the purpose <br />of reclamation. Side slopes will be formed during soil extraction. The reclamation <br />process will begin when a sizeable area of two to three acres is ready to be <br />reclaimed.
