the ground suitable for establishment of plant site operations and related product stockpiles. All lands contained within
the extraction limits of Tracts A, B, C, & D, are presently affected. Soils salvaged from both locations are stockpiled
along the most southern extent of Tract A. Early in 2013, extraction moved into Tract C, and by late 2013 into Tract D.
Dry plant operations are active in Tract A,while materials requiring wet plant operations are nearing startup after
inclusion in this years Amendment to the operation. Materials also continue to be taken via internal access roads to the
adjacent Durham operation M-1978-056 for processing as needed. Reclamation of Tract B will advance in 2017-18 as
consistent with the 2016 OMLR Amendment approval providing for the lining of completed basins. This Amendment
also verified the establishment and approval of a concrete batch plant. Resoiling of the perimeter of Tract B (apx. 2.0±
acres) is complete, and reseeding activities will manifest into fall and spring of 2017-18. Backfilling of Tract D to
