6.4.5 Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan <br />from Cell 2B will occur as direct replacement of overburden from the stripping <br />process. <br />Backfillinp of Cell 3 <br />Overburden from Cell 3 and natural fines left over from processing will be used to <br />backfill Cell 3. <br />Backfillinq of Cell 4 <br />Overburden from Cell 4, Cell 5 and natural fines left over from processing will be <br />used to backfill Cell 4. <br />Backfillinq Cell 5 <br />Overburden from Cell 4, Cell 5 and natural fines left over from processing will be <br />used to backfill Cell 5. Cell 5 will be backfilled to approximate historic grade. <br />Backfilling of an area shown on Exhibit F- Reclamation Plan, will be done during <br />the non - irrigation season (November- March) for the purpose of construction of a <br />pipe that will route a 3 cfs pending water right from west of Cell 5 to the Plumb <br />and Dailey Ditch. The design and construction specification for a pipe was <br />previously approved by CDRMS <br />Backfillina of Cell 6 <br />Overburden from Cell 6, Cell 5 and natural fines left over from processing will be <br />used to backfill Cell 6. <br />Surface Soil Replacement <br />Final surface soil (overburden) replacement will begin following backfilling and <br />rough - grading on each appropriate cell. Surface soil will be replaced to a <br />minimum depth of 0.5 ft. A total of 158,914 yd will be replaced over <br />approximately 197 acres. <br />Interior haul roads will be ripped, graded, and surface soiled in preparation for <br />revegetation. <br />Seeding and Fertilizing <br />Currently, shortgrass prairie is the dominant plant species. At present, the area is <br />grazed all year around. Cover in the pasture is sparse all year as a result of the <br />continuous grazing of cattle. <br />The proposed seeding areas are shown on Exhibit F — Reclamation Plan Map. <br />The recommended seeding method is by drill and seeding rates assume this <br />method. The species composition of the seed mixture recommended for <br />reclamation is shown in Table 6.4.5 -4 below. <br />Turnpike Mining Resource M- 2004 - 009 -AM -2 <br />Regular 112 Amendment <br />
