TR-07 MINING PLAN <br /> Exhibit D - AMENDMENT 3 - TR-07 <br /> (NOTE REGARDING EFFECT OF TR-07: This technical revision was required as a result of the <br /> extensive lease modifications approved by the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners in February <br /> 2014. That lease amendment removed roughly 2,000 acres from the permit and left only Area I from the <br /> original plan available for mining. Thus, the rather diverse assortment of both upland and lowland mining <br /> areas were removed and the remaining mining area is a low diversity, nearly level area totaling around 28 <br /> acres. As a result, many of the provisions in the original plans to account for the diverse topographic and <br /> environmental conditions are no longer relevant. To simplify the plan, both the mining and reclamation <br /> plans have been extensively edited to remove from the plan items that no longer apply. However, items <br /> that still do apply to the remaining land are still in the plan as originally stated and intended. Even though <br /> the plans look like they have been extensively altered with all the editing, in fact, the remaining plans are <br /> the plans from the original plan that are applicable to the single mining area remaining in the lease.) <br /> DEFINITIONS AND LIST OF REQUIREMENTS STATED IN THIS MINING PLAN <br /> Fully understanding the following definitions is important to effectively and efficiently implement <br /> the Mining Plan. <br /> After the definitions is a list of the specific requirements that are also stated in the Mining Plan for <br /> this operation. Also included is the page number in the Mining Plan where the requirement is stated and <br /> where more information can be obtained regarding that requirement. This list can be used as a table of <br /> contents to the most important elements of the mining plan or it can be used as a summary or as a <br /> reminder sheet of the various requirements. In nearly all cases, if you turn to the page in the Mining Plan <br /> where the requirement is stated you will find additional discussion that explains why the requirement <br /> exists and some discussion of how to implement or comply with the requirement. <br /> DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO THIS PLAN: <br /> Permit Boundary - The land contained in the permit. This boundary is the same as the lease boundary, <br /> except where oil and gas facilities have been specifically excluded from the permit area. In those cases, the <br /> boundary goes around the oil and gas facility. Absolutely no disturbances can be made outside the permit <br /> boundary without prior approval. <br /> Affected Land Boundary - The land that may potentially be disturbed in someway as apart of this <br /> mining operation. Land may not be affected beyond this boundary without a permit change being approved <br /> first. <br /> Bonded Land Boundary - This is no longer needed as all affected lands will be bonded. <br /> Noxious Weed - means an alien plant or parts of an alien plant that have been designated by rule as being <br /> noxious or has been declared a noxious weed by a local advisory board, and meets one or more of the <br /> following criteria: <br /> (a) Aggressively invades or is detrimental to economic crops or native plant communities; <br /> (b) Is poisonous to livestock; <br /> (c) Is a carrier of detrimental insects, diseases, or parasites; <br /> Coal Creek Sand Resource Amendment 3 (2005)- M-1988-044 Exhibit D Page 1 <br />
