EXHIBIT D MINING PLAN <br /> 1. General Mining Plan <br /> All areas to be mined are considered high and dry with no groundwater to be encountered during <br /> mining. The deposit is fairly deep ranging from 12 feet deep to possibly 18 feet deep along the <br /> upland deposit. <br /> Excavation is to be an open pit with the use of standard mining equipment used for such <br /> operations eg. front end loader, dozer, and excavator. However due to the life of this mine other <br /> types of equipment not yet economical for gravel may be employed in the future. <br /> Processing will take place on site in order to size by crushing and screening and to reject material <br /> that will be used for final reclamation. <br /> Mining will be conducted in such a way as to facilitate reclamation such as pushing slopes to a <br /> 3H:1 V aspect ratio. Reclamation will follow in a timely manner once an area is deemed mined <br /> out. Seeding and final grading will be to a final reclamation use of pastureland and residential <br /> which the landowner has prescribed. <br /> The following will address the items listed under Rule64 Exhibit D in order of appearance. <br /> Please see Map C-2 for more information and correlations. <br /> Like similar open pit sand and gravel operations this pit will be stripped of the available topsoil <br /> growth medium as indicated on the Soil Report by earthmoving scrapers and loaders and will be <br /> placed along the areas bounding the mining areas and left in place until needed for re-topsoiling. <br /> These topsoil stockpiles will be seeded to reduce soil erosion. <br /> All earthmoving will be done by mining equipment suitable for this type operation including the <br /> following types: front end loader, dozer, excavator, and haul trucks of various sizes and capacity. <br /> The only water diversions would be for stormwater management to keep all stormwater from <br /> running into or off site and for erosion control.No water impoundments are planned at this site. <br /> The proposed mining would be done in the direction shown on the Mining Plan Map C-2 of this <br /> application. Each of the disturbed areas shown on Map C-2 will be mined out starting from the <br /> Robinson Gravel No 1 <br /> September 2018 D-1 <br />
