6.3.3 EXHIBIT C <br /> Mining Plan <br /> 6.3.3 Mining Plan description: <br /> The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit area for the <br /> duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E—Map. The description <br /> of the mining plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1 and <br /> demonstrate compliance with Rule 3. At a minimum, the Operator/Applicant must include <br /> the following information: <br /> (1) The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit <br /> area for the duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E— <br /> Map: <br /> (a) The estimated dates mining will begin and end. If the operation is intended <br /> to be an intermittent operation as defined in by statute, the Applicant should <br /> include in this exhibit a statement that conforms to the provisions of the <br /> Statutory requirements: <br /> • The proposed operation will not be an intermittent mining operation. <br /> • Mining operations will begin once all required permits are in place. This is a <br /> CDOT roadway project and removal of the borrow material from the site <br /> should require less than nine months once the project begins. Removal of <br /> borrow material from the site and site reclamation should be completed prior <br /> to the end of 2020. <br /> (b) The estimated depth topsoil will be salvaged, specify how the topsoil will be <br /> stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover or other means until used in <br /> reclamation. Topsoil stockpiles must be protected from mine operations <br /> traffic, stream channels or drainageways. The location must be shown on <br /> Exhibit E—Map: <br /> • The part of the proposed borrow area is an historic borrow area. As such, <br /> there is very little topsoil present on the southern '/z of the site. Soils Unit <br /> 106 has very little topsoil. The top 0-3 inches is a sandy loam. Below <br /> twelve inches is bedrock. We will therefore strip no more than 6 inches off <br /> of soils Unit 106. This unit comprises approximately 3.8 acres of the <br /> proposed Borrow area. <br /> • The other soils unit is Unit 7. This Unit has the deepest soils. It only <br /> comprises about 1.4 acres of the proposed borrow area. In this Unit, the top <br /> 6 inches is a sandy loam. From 6 inches to 19 inches is a sandy clay loam. <br /> We will take 18 inches of topsoil from this Unit (3, 6 inch lifts). The total <br /> plant growth material available from this Unit is approximately 1,129 cubic <br /> yards. <br /> • Using 6 inches of plant growth material stripped from soils Unit 106, over <br /> 3.8 acres which is available for stripping, equals approximately 1022 cubic <br /> yards of plant growth material. <br /> • Replacing 6 inches of plant growth material over an estimated 26.95 acres of <br /> 30 <br />
