Exhibit D (Cont) <br /> Mining Plan <br /> where material is removed will not be redisturbed. This cycle <br /> continues until the mine is played out . <br /> Each time the mine is re-enter mining begins by setting up <br /> the plant and stripping the area to be mined during this cycle . <br /> The topsoil and overburden will be stockpiled along the mine <br /> perimeter setbacks or on the mine floor, i .e . in places where it <br /> will not be disturbed until needed. <br /> Mining will begin on a section of the slopes created at the <br /> end of the last mining cycle until a near vertical face is open. <br /> This face will be worked to the north, east and south until it <br /> reached the mine limits . As mining progresses thru the site the <br /> processing plant will be set near the open face to reduce the <br /> haul distance from the mine face . <br /> This pit will be operated year-around by Colorado Backhoe <br /> Service, weather permitting. There may be periods when the <br /> demands for material are slow and no mining will take place at <br /> which time the mine will become an Intermittent Operation. <br /> Stockpiles of material will be maintained on the site and as the <br /> need arises, it will be hauled to our project sites or sold to <br /> the public . <br /> Review of MAP EXHIBIT C-1 shows how we expect the site to look <br /> when mining is approximately 65% done . Note, the floor of the <br /> excavation is flat and the exterior slopes into the mined area <br /> are graded 3 : 1 where reclaimed, sections have been backfilled <br /> with Inert Material imported for that use are temporarily graded <br /> and near vertical where mining is taking place . <br /> Mining equipment may include but is not limited to, front- <br /> end loaders, scrapers, bulldozers, dump trucks and a water truck. <br /> Processing equipment may include but is not limited to conveyors, <br /> crushers and screen plants . A scale and scale house as well as a <br /> shop and maintenance building may also be built at the mine <br /> during its life . <br /> As much as possible, the surface drainage will be maintained <br /> in the same direction as it now exists . The proposed sloping <br /> plan for the excavated area should eliminate any concerns of <br /> erosion occurring on the site . <br /> on a typical operation of this type we may use up to 3 ac-ft <br /> of water per year. Most of the water used for dust control will <br /> be used on haul roads . Please refer to EXHIBITG-WATER for the <br /> discussion of how water will be used at the site and the source <br /> of said water. <br /> 11 <br />
