Dixie Mine Clear Creek County, CO Total Acres Disturbed Total Square Feet And Resulting Acres Disturbed As Shown Below: • Mining Road: Estimated at 500 ft length and 40 ft width (road would be 20 ft wide but factoring in additional width due to possible disturbances) is a total of 20,000 sq ft. • Crusher and Washer Plant: Estimated at 80 ft x 80 ft or a total of 6,400 sq ft. • Trenched Area: Estimated at 350 ft length by 60 ft width is a total of 21,000 sq ft. • 20,000 sq ft road + 6,400 sq ft washer plant + 21,000 sq ft trenched area is a total of 47,400 sq ft. Note: I Acre = 43,560 sq ft. Amount of total disturbance that requires reclamation is estimated at near 1.10 acres. 8" to 12" Diameter Erosion Lots Utilized In High Erosion and Draingage Areas Stock Image �Ca �iPJG(S )�Ii 1�v& Stock Image of a fire break similar to proposed during the reclamation process.

Seeds gently raked into top soil and covered either with hay and/or erosion nets. ■ Splender Wheat Grass 4.50 lbs/acre • Mountain Brome 4.50 lbs/acre ° Orchard Grass 2 lbs/acre Hard Fescue 2 lbs/acre Sheep Fescue 2 lbs/acre Topsoil Topsoil trucked in to replace soil that was displaced during trenching process. Estimates are to bring in between 40 to 80 yards of topsoil during final reclamation process to ensure all areas have 1" to 3" of new soil. Additional topsoil will be brought in to help cover trench areas when refilled and planted as an ongoing basis. Fire Break Due to ongoing fire concerns in Clear Creek County the proposal is to level roads and side berms before dispersing topsoil and replanting. Then leave the surface intact to act as a fire break. Additional Fire Break extension is shown on map in orange to connect with Ute Creek Rd. To prevent 4 -Wheelers and off road vehicles into area after reclamation barriers along with signs would be put into place.
