MINING PLAN(REVISED APRIL 2014) <br /> Phase I Will be stripped and mined. The topsoil from the lower area will be removed first and <br /> stockpiled in Area TS. The topsoil will be preserved and vegetated with annual rye and <br /> Indian rice grass. The sandstone over- burden will be drilled and shot. It will then be <br /> stripped and piled south of TS. Limestone will be removed from Phase 1. <br /> April, 2014 Update: This phase was expected to require 2 years but lasted from 1977 to <br /> 2012 and has partly been reclaimed. The total area worked was approximately 13 acres. <br /> The original Phase I area has been reduced in size and replaced by a larger portion of <br /> Phase V. <br /> Phase II Will be stripped and mined. The topsoil will be removed, stockpiled, preserved and <br /> vegetated in TS area or used immediately in reclamation. The sandstone and overburden <br /> material will be stripped and piled south of TS, or placed in areas which have been <br /> mined out as backfill to facilitate concurrent reclamation. <br /> April, 2014 Update: Phase 11 was completed from 2001 to 2009 and has been completely <br /> reclaimed. The area worked was approximately 10.7 acres. <br /> Phase III Will be stripped and mined. The topsoil will be removed, stockpiled, preserved and <br /> vegetated in area TS or used immediately in areas that are being reclaimed. The <br /> sandstone and overburden material will be stripped and piled south of TS, or placed in <br /> areas which have been mined out as backfill to facilitate concurrent reclamation. <br /> April, 2014 Update: Phase III was completed from 2009 to 2011. Further advancement <br /> west was abandoned due to excessive overburden removal costs. The mined area has <br /> EXHIBIT D.(REV)MINE PLAN,ROBERTS QUARRY APRIL 2014,PAGE 2 OF 3 <br />
