The mine is located <br /> in the vacant southwest corner of an approximate quarter section dryland farm. Removal of <br /> material commenced prior to the application and topsoil was not salvaged for use in the <br /> reclamation process. Topsoil will be re-established through farming techniques such as disking <br /> and tilling to break up the soil and introducing a soil amendment such as compost to establish a <br /> proper seed bed during the reclamation process. <br /> C-2 Mining Method and Timetable <br /> This will be an open pit mine for the exclusive use of Cargill at the Cargill Feedlot located <br /> approximately four miles southeast of the mine. The excavated material consists of soil <br /> categorized as primarily Rago Loam and Ascalon sandy loam, sandy substratum, 3 to 5 percent <br /> slopes in the NRCS Custom Soil Resource Report. This material will be used as fill material in <br /> the feedlot pens. <br /> • Sand and gravel may be encountered but will not be processed or separated, all material <br /> will be used as fill material on the feedlot. <br /> • The operator plans no production or sale of the fill material or secondary or incidental <br /> products. There will be no overburden or waste rock. Cargill will be using all material <br /> excavated at the Cargill feedlot. <br /> • The material will be excavated using standard earthmoving equipment to consist of <br /> excavators and loaders and will be trucked to the Cargill feedlot. <br /> • No explosives will be used. <br /> • No further processing on the excavated material will be done. <br /> • An existing access road will be used to get to and from the mine site. The road width is <br /> 15 feet and it will not be maintained or improved. There will be no buildings on site. <br /> • Water consumption for mining will be minimal and used only for dust suppression for <br /> haul roads. <br /> Run-on water will be minimal and precipitation falling directly on the mine site has historically <br /> infiltrated into the sandy soils within 72 hours. If the water within the mine does not infiltrate <br /> within 72 hours, the water will be pumped and returned to sheet flow within the historic flow <br /> patterns of the site. <br /> The mining operation is located on undeveloped property and refuse and acid or toxic producing <br /> material are not anticipated during mining, if refuse and toxic or acid producing material is <br /> ENGINEERING, PLANNING, CONSULTING & REAL ESTATE <br /> 3050 67t'Avenue■Greeley,CO 80634 <br /> 970.535.9318/office■ 970.535.9854/fax■ www.agpros.com <br />
