THE NEW CACHE LA POUDRE IRRIGATING COMPANY <br />THE CACHE LA POUDRE RESERVOIR COMPANY <br />. (970) 352-0222 <br />EXHIBIT D (REVISED) <br />Mining Plan <br />We are constructing an agricultural pond that will be 9.13 acres in size (total disturbed area will be 16.2 <br />acres, to include pond and embankment). It is estimated that we will create approximately 125,000 <br />yards of waste material. The waste material from this pond will be sold but not marketed. As such, the <br />timing of construction is not known at this time, but, given the limited amount of material, will be <br />continuous but short in duration. <br />1. Mining is estimated to begin in the spring of 2015 and end prior to spring of 2016. No geotechnical <br />testing or material characterization is anticipated due to the minimal size of the site. <br />a. Material for pond embankment construction will be identified and stockpiled for pond <br />construction. <br />b. Loading and hauling away of the waste material will occur as needed for construction. <br />2. Continuous mining will occur with typical excavation equipment and will likely include scrapers, <br />track hoes, and loaders. <br />3. Vegetation is sparse in the area. Soil supporting plant growth will be stored in the mining area and <br />used in the reclamation process. Topsoil will be stockpiled onsite as indicated on Exhibit C map. <br />The topsoil stockpile will be protected from erosion by use of a "ditch and berm" system and also, if <br />necessary by use of Filtrexx Sediment and Erosion Control products. To provide erosion control, <br />"Quickguard Sterile Triticale Hybrid" will be planted to begin to stabilize the ground until a <br />permanent grass can be established. An informational sheet is enclosed for Quickguard. PBSI <br />Native Prairie Mix is suitable for the area and the intended purpose and will provide long term <br />protection. The seed mixture in pounds of pure live seed per acre is attached. <br />4. There will be no office, shop, plant, or underground openings in the mining area. There will be no <br />processing equipment at the site. The mined material will be transported off property by tractor <br />trailers. The mining area will be accessed by an existing road on the property, currently used by the <br />property owner. <br />5. Pit excavation will be confined to the area shown in Exhibit C, Attachment 5. The excavation is <br />anticipated to be done from south to north. The haul road and access to the county road are <br />established. <br />33040 Railroad Avenue • P.O. Box 104 • Lucerne, Colorado 80646 <br />
