EXHIBIT D MINING PLAN <br /> 1. General Mining Plan <br /> The permit area for the Ready Mix Pit is 76.0 acres. 7.3 acres of that area will be disturbed as part <br /> of mining operations. 17.9±acres will be the processing and stockpiles area. The remaining area <br /> consists of previously reclaimed ponds, access roads, and undisturbed areas. Sand and gravel for <br /> use in making construction materials products will be mined onsite. Crushing, screening, and <br /> washing of material will all take place on site. Asphalt and concrete production will take place on <br /> site. Reclamation will occur concurrently with mining, as mining progresses from east to west. <br /> Table D-1 shows the area breakdown for the site. <br /> Table D-1 Mining Areas <br /> Mining Phase Area <br /> Processing 17.9 Acres <br /> Mining 7.3 Acres <br /> Reclaimed Ponds 31.3 Acres <br /> Undisturbed 19.5 Acres <br /> Total 76.0 Acres <br /> Mining will stay 30 feet from the north,west, and south fences, and at least 100 feet from the <br /> reclaimed pond to the east. Setbacks of this size ensure the protection of outside structures from <br /> excavation related impacts. <br /> Topsoil and overburden berms may be constructed inside the above listed setbacks as part of noise <br /> and visual mitigation. <br /> Blasting will not take place at the Ready Mix Pit. <br /> 2. Mining Timetable <br /> Production is planned at around 150,000 tons per year. The deposit is believed to contain roughly <br /> 600,000 tons. Based on these calculations,the pit could be mined out in approximately six years. <br /> However, market forces dictate aggregate production, and therefore the mine life discussed here is <br /> an estimation based on applicant experience. <br /> Ready Mix Pit October 2017 D- 1 X (avg l ewirkf and Associates.PLL( <br />
