6.3.3 EXHIBIT C—Mining Plan
(1) The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit area for
the duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E—Map. The
description of the mining plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of the Rule
3.1 and demonstrate compliance with Rule 3. At a minimum, the Operator/Applicant
must include the following information:
(a) specify the estimated dates that mining will commence and end. If the operation is
intended to be an intermittent operation as defined in C.R.S. 34-32-103(6)(a)(II), the
Applicant should include in this exhibit a statement that conforms to the provisions of
Section 34-32-103(6)(a)(II), C.R.S.;
The proposed mining operation is scheduled to commence, pending permit issuance,
November 1, 2018 and terminate November 1, 2028. Operations will be conducted during
the daylight hours.
(b) the estimated depth to which soil,suitable as a plant growth medium, will be salvaged
for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent with information
proved in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil must be salvaged to meet the vegetation
establishment criteria of Rule 3.1.10. If plant growth medium is not reapplied on a
graded area immediately after salvage, then the Operator/Applicant must specify how the
topsoil will be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetation cover or other means until used
in reclamation. Plant growth medium stockpiles must be located separate from other
stockpiles, out of the way of mine traffic and out of stream channels or drainageways.
The location of plant growth medium stockpiles must be shown on Exhibit E-Map;
Considering the nature of poor topsoil conditions at this site (as previously described in
Exhibit B) no topsoil is to be saved. Rather soil amendments based on soil tests will be
used to prepare the substrate for reclamation
See Exhibit D for reclamation measures.
(c) sped the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock., if any, to be removed to
reach the deposit. The location of any overburden stockpiles or waste rock fills must be
shown on Exhibit E-Map;
There is approximately 50,000 tons of abandoned mine waste rock located within the Affected
Area (see Exhibit A& E). The affected area is 2.76 acres. This material is in a loosely defined
area and the depth of waste rock in this pile varies from several feet to 40 feet at the center of
the stockpile. The waste rock will be removed in phases, commencing by digging into the
material from the surface and working downward and outward to the edges of the pile. This
