MINING PLAN <br /> but for now that new permit boundary cannot be established as the permit boundary or previously <br /> affected land would be removed from the permit prior to reclamation. <br /> The best way to handle this situation is to keep this land in the permit, as required by law, and <br /> when the highway begins construction release the land and formally establish the new permit <br /> boundary along the south highway right of way. Alternatively, all disturbances in this area could be <br /> reclaimed and released, set the new permit boundary after release, and then the highway construction <br /> can begin whenever it is ready. The latter option, however, would require reclaiming land that has a <br /> high probability of future disturbance. So long as the land is not causing a problem, it seems mosr�y v <br /> prudent to leave it unreclaimed until the highway project begins or if that is never done reclaimed <br /> when it is known there will not be a highway. <br /> S� <br /> AFFECTED LAND BOUNDARY: In most areas the affected land boundary and the permit C"' <br /> boundary are the same. Where no affected land boundary is shown on the permit maps then it is <br /> congruent with the permit boundary. Where there is an affected land boundary identified it is always <br /> inside the permit boundary and forms the outer limit of expected disturbances. Disturbance beyond <br /> the affected land boundary(or permit boundary where the two are the same) should not occur. The <br /> no disturbance zone between the affected land boundary and the permit boundary is there for the sole <br /> purpose of conveniently placing the permit boundary at an identifiable location and will not be <br /> considered land where mine related disturbances can occur. Land in this zone can be added to the <br /> affected land, if needed, by amendment. The affected land boundary and/or permit boundary must be <br /> marked on the ground, if not already marked by fences. <br /> Areas where there are major differences from the 1992 amendment are as follows. <br /> 1. The north boundary of the eastern portion of the operation has been carefully adjusted to <br /> correspond to the highway right of way for the new airport road (Proby Project to be discussed later) <br /> as well as the newly adjusted Fountain Mutual Ditch alignment. However, as explained above that <br /> new boundary does not include the currently permitted northwestern corner where affected land <br /> exists. At some point in the future the permit boundary will be shifted to the south highway right of <br /> way either through release so the highway can be constructed or through release as a result of <br /> reclamation of existing disturbances. <br /> 2. The Little Johnson portion of the permit that was added to the permit by a recent <br /> amendment is included and is configured exactly as it was defined in that amendment. <br /> Daniels Sand Pit Amendment (2008) Exhibit D Page 5 of 28 <br />
