EXHIBIT E Ground Disturbance and Reclamation Procedures Due to a variety of concerns (weather, wildlife closures, public safety, etc.), authorization to proceed must be obtained from the County's Primary Contact in writing at least three weeks before beginning reclamation activities and again verbally the day before beginning work. Additionally, so that the work can be inspected, the Primary Contact must be contacted before removal of reclamation equipment to release Grantee from responsibility for further reclamation work. The following procedures are guidelines intended to facilitate the Grantee's understanding of the typical scope and processes for reclamation following Grantee's activities on Boulder County ("County") property. Throughout reclamation and post -reclamation processes, the County reserves the right to adjust these procedures to address circumstances associated with a particular site and/or to protect County property. Grantee shall perform all reclamation activities specified on approved work plans and shall also address these items: 1. Topsoil Removal, Excavation, and Storage 2. Backfilling, Ripping/Relieving Compaction, and Grading 3. Topsoil Redistribution, Application of Amendments 4. Seedbed Preparation, Seeding, Mulching, and Weed and Erosion Control 5. Existing Road Reclamation 6. Fencing 7. Post -Reclamation Before any construction activities commence, the Easement Parcel shall be delineated with a temporary fence located on the boundary between the Easement Parcel and Boulder County Parks and Open Space land. The fence is to serve as a visual reference and a physical barrier to contain construction activities within the construction area. The fence shall be constructed of 5 1\2' steel posts and 2 -12 t/2 gauge, double strand smooth or barbed wire. Steel posts shall be spaced at no greater than 30 foot intervals and wires shall be fastened to steel posts at 24" and 42" above the average ground level. All traffic and construction activity shall be restricted to within the Easement Parcel only. The temporary fence shall remain in place along the boundary line until the project is finished. Site Preparation After the construction area has been delineated and debris has been removed from the construction area, and before Contractor commences digging of the trench for the pipeline, Contractor shall mow any vegetation or crop residue to a maximum height of 4 inches over the area to be disturbed.
