6.4 Specific Exhibit Requirements-Regular 112c Operations <br /> Exhibit C Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Maps (rule 6.4.3) <br /> 5.After our pre-mining inspection I contacted Plainstel and have received a letter from them on <br /> company letterhead as requested by Elliott stating that driving over the fiber optic line that is <br /> placed 48" under the surface of the pit entrance road will not cause any damage. Our structure <br /> agreement with land owner has been updated to include the fence located on the north and south <br /> side of road 2. There is an extension to pit from CR-2 to pit boundary for pit access road this will be <br /> 30 ft.wide x 200 ft. long. <br /> Exhibit D Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4) <br /> 6. Mining plane maps have been updated to show approximate locations of topsoil and overburden <br /> piles. Mining maps include direction of material being pushed along with approximant locations of <br /> stockpiled material for hauling out. Mining will be done in a phase like push opening one area at a <br /> time.After that area is pushed out we will move to the next area using the old area to stockpile <br /> gravel on. Once we have approx. 3 areas pushed out we will start the reclaiming the pushed out area <br /> we started in and working forward as the pit increases. This will help with vegetation being <br /> reestablished and lessen the time need for reclamation at the end of the pits usage. This will help <br /> minimize the impact on wildlife and livestock in the area. <br /> 7. Topsoil piles will be place on top of the existing ground. Overburden piles will be placed on <br /> stripped ground. <br /> 8. Land owner grazes Cattle on this ground once or twice a year. Cattle will.be grazing in the <br /> permitted area during this time. Once the pit is large enough and we are able to start the <br /> reclamation of mined out areas a fence will be placed around the newly reclaimed area to ensure <br /> the soil has time to establish growth of seed mixture. <br /> 9.After our discussion concerning seeding of topsoil piles I will be following your recommendations <br /> to seed with approved seed mixture for potential seed bank. Seed mixture is included with this <br /> packet. <br /> Exhibit E Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.4.5) <br /> 10. Post Mining use of this land is Range land.This is the same as before mining operations, <br /> however the land will be more accessible to the land owner and livestock due to the flattening of <br /> terrain. The seed mixture we are using is recommended by the Yuma County Soil Conservation and <br /> will enhance the variety of plats in the area not only for livestock but game animals also. <br /> 11. We have included minor terraces in our reclamation plan to help with erosion if necessary. <br /> Locations of terraces are not known at this time or if it will be necessary. <br /> 12. The seed mixture is included with this packet. <br /> 13. in response to winter wheat or oats being planted for a quicker stand. <br /> After further conversation with Yuma County Soil Conservation Personnel we will not be using <br /> winter wheat or oats in our seed mixture as stated. <br />
