Exhibit C— Mining Plan <br /> The mining is expected to begin as soon as possible after a permit is obtained. This operation <br /> will provide material for road maintenance and construction in the area. Anticipated life of the <br /> pit is indefinite. The county will use material as needed when working to maintain roads in the <br /> area. The supply of material should last for a number of years. This pit should be classified as <br /> an intermittent pit. <br /> The plan is to begin removing material at the south end of the permitted area, North of <br /> County Road 3. Mining will proceed northward as needed. There is approximately 7 inches of <br /> topsoil on the majority of the material as well as some overburden of varying depths. The <br /> topsoil will be stripped a separate pile. These piles will be seeded to prevent erosion. We will <br /> stay 50 feet to the east of the fence/property line on the west side of the pit area and do a 4 to 1 slope <br /> from there. This would be where the creek bottom comes close to the property line on the West edge <br /> of the property. <br /> There does not appear to be any waste rock or material at this sight. <br /> Mining is anticipated to a depth of about 15 feet. Mining depth will be kept above existing <br /> ground water level. No slopes will be greater than 3:1. <br /> The pit will be accessed from the existing approach off of County Road 3. There will be no <br /> shop, plant or other facilities located at the pit. The machinery used to mine the gravel will be <br /> a dozer, front end loader and trucks. There will be some stockpiling of usable material. There <br /> will be internal haul roads within the pit boundaries. These will be reclaimed when the mine is <br /> closed. <br /> There is an older small building that was used for livestock shelter in the past, inside the <br /> boundaries. It is not currently in use. It will not be used by the county in any way. It is not in an <br /> area that will be mined, or used for stockpiles. This building is the property of the landowner. <br />
