Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />Also refer to Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map. <br />Paul Banks and Associates, LLC <br />Overview <br />The post mining land use for the St. Barbara sand and gravel mine will be lined water <br />storage. This will consist of approximately 210 acres of ponds and 94 acres of <br />revegetated land including pond slopes, backfilled areas, and setback areas. <br />Revegetation will consist of native grasses and forbs as specified by the local office of <br />the NRCS and as described in this exhibit. <br />The mine pits will be lined using slurry walls. It is not known when the slurry walls will be <br />built because there is currently no end -use water storage entity. Prior to construction of <br />the slurry wall, the design and exact location will be submitted to the DRMS in a <br />Technical Revision Application. The slurry wall design will meet the specifications of the <br />State Engineers Office. <br />Exhibit F- Reclamation Plan Map shows the approximate location of the slurry wall. <br />These walls are typically 3 feet wide and extend through the gravel plus another 3 -5 feet <br />into bedrock. Drilling on the property indicated a depth to bedrock of 30 -34 feet and for <br />purposes of this report we assumed an average slurry wall depth of 35 feet. The <br />approximate slurry wall locations shown on the map include a setback of at least 25 feet <br />from the property line and at least 25 feet from the pit edge. These setbacks provide <br />enough room for equipment to maneuver to construct the slurry wall. The locations of <br />existing berms along the north and west sides of the property should not interfere with <br />slurry wall construction. <br />Mine Area 1 (as shown on Exhibit F) impounds approximately 3,393 acre -feet of water. <br />To impound this water, a slurry wall of approximately 13,094 feet in length is required. <br />The depth of the slurry wall would be approximately 35 feet. <br />Mine Area 2 impounds approximately 353 acre -feet of water. This requires a slurry wall <br />approximately 6,565 feet long. <br />St. Barbara Sand and Gravel Mine 10031 <br />Pete Lien & Sons, Inc. 12 June 15, 2011 <br />
