EXHIBIT D MINING PLAN <br /> 1. Introduction <br /> The following is the mining plan for the proposed 23 '/4 West Pit to be operated by permittee <br /> Kilgore Companies, LLC dba Elam Construction("Elam"). Elam proposes to mine the 23 '/4 <br /> West Pit gravel deposit to support its construction materials activites in Grand Junction, CO. <br /> Material will be mined, crushed, and screened at 23 '/4 West Pit before being transported offsite <br /> for further use. There is sufficient topsoil and overburden onsite to successfully reclaim the site <br /> to its final condition of a lake with rangeland slopes.No asphalt or concrete manufacturing will <br /> take place onsite. <br /> 1_I Pre-Miningand nd Topsoil Stripping <br /> The site of the proposed 23 '/4 West Pit is currently a fenced rangeland/shrubland with a few <br /> structures (see Map C-1). These structures will be removed during mining. <br /> Prior to beginning activities on the site, the boundaries of the affected area will be clearly <br /> marked. Signs and markers will be posted at the mine entrance listing the name of the Operator, <br /> Elam Construction, and the operation name, "23 '/4 West Pit"; a statement that a reclamation <br /> permit for the operation has been issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board ; and <br /> the DRMS permit number. The current access to the property will be used for mining; a <br /> secondary access will be built on the south end of the permit as well (Map C-2). Internal roads <br /> and ramps will be used throughout the life of the mining operation as needed, and will all be <br /> reclaimed. Map C-2 shows the full mining extents; Map C-3 shows a snapshot of the mine <br /> during operations. <br /> Topsoil and overburden will be stripped at 23 '/4 West Pit and placed in stockpiles and berms. <br /> This stripping will take place in advance of mining of areas, but is not anticipated to happen all <br /> at once. Map C-4 shows the topsoil stripping in advance of mining in cross section. Berms will <br /> be installed at the start of operations on the site as part of stormwater controls (Map C-2). They <br /> will be vegetated promptly. Further details on the berms can be seen on Map G-1 and in Exhibit <br /> G. <br /> 23 114 West <br /> July 2020 D-1 (:n l fwictAi and/iS\(1fINCPI NI.I.( <br />
