Mining in Lot 11:
Our existing Mined Land Reclamation Permit in Zone No. 1 includes Lot 11 in Section
18, T12N, R93W of the 6th P.M., an area in which we plan to begin stripping; mining,
crushing and storing construction materials within the next few months — under our
existing permit (see Exhibit C-4). Lot 11 is burdened by a two -track 4 -WD trail that is
detailed in Exhibit C-2. The BLM has designated a large block of land in that vicinity as
Restricted Travel Area, which means this two -track road, is no longer a legal access
route; therefore, it may not have a defined, current and recognizable value of an
economic nature! Moffat County will not preserve this trail during the mining phase, or
replace it during reclamation — unless the BLM (Little Snake Field Office) requests us to
do so!

Proposed Methods of Operation Including Equipment:
The road -base materials (sand, gravel and clay) will be mined with a D-8 Caterpillar tractor and
a rubber tired tractor with a 5 -yard front-end loader. The materials will normally be hauled to the
L.J. Crusher with the loader; however, they may also be transported to the crusher by scrapers,
belly -dumps and/or 20 -yard end -dump trucks. Ten percent of the road -base materials will be
clay, which may be mixed with the pit -run during crushing, or in the alternative, the clay may be
mixed later with crushed sand and gravel from the stockpile. Surface mining may occur
anywhere on the permit area, but we intend to begin operations on the south side of County Road
No. 4 and mine to the south (see Exhibit C-5).
Pit -run sand, gravel and /or clay may also be mined with the "D-8" and "loader" and the
materials may be transported directly to the maintenance sites by scrapers, belly -dumps, and/or
end -dump trucks. Where necessary, short haul roads on the permitted land will be graded and
drained with one of Moffat County's Caterpillar motor graders.
