Exhibit A. - Legal Description The area is 9.9 acres located and part of the SW-, of the SW-4 Bent County, Colorado. Exhibit B- Mining Plan 0 in part of Lot 4,Sec 5 -T23S- R48W of Sec 32 -T22S -R48W ofl6th PM in The site will be entered from the County Road via an xisting trail road used by the County to access their own gra el pit and by the land owner to care for their range cattle. Mining will generally proceed from west to east. The thin layer of rock ladened topsoil will be removed and stockpiled in an orderly berm along the north boundary of the site. Ver- tical side slopes will be backfilled with fines to a :1 slope during the course of mining. The depth of mining will not exceed 10 -15' and in most places be about 9' due to t shallow gravel layer noted in the area. I Mining will be done with a dozer and one or more front end loaders, a rock crusher and screen, and necessary cony yors for separating material. The life of the mine is expe ted to be 1 - 2 years.

Exhibit D -2 See letter and related information fr m the USDA Soil Conservation Service. Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan An on -site inspection reveals that *the topsoil layer varies from almost none to about eight inches of topsoil horizon. At best the surface layer of topsoil material is heavily laden with gravel and rock cobbles sup orting little v geta- tion. (See SCS Range Condition Survey The topsoil terial removed and stockpiled prior to mining will be redistributed following regrading of all slopes to 3:1 or flatter. he clay soils under -lying the gravel deposit will be chis ed to a depth of 6 - 10 inches to allow for root penatration just prior to replacement of topsoil material and fines. A 4 - 6 inch layer of gravelly topsoil material will then be ad d to form a firm seedbed. A soils analysis will indicate t e kind and quantities of fertilizer required to help establish the grass cover.
