MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D(CONT) <br /> YD3 of growth medium available for resoiling the disturbed <br /> area. In addition, there is from 4 inches to 5 feet of over- <br /> burden on most of the site. Much of this overburden will be <br /> retained and used to rebuild slopes or create root zone under <br /> the seedbed. If needed, it could be transformed into growth <br /> medium to supplement topsoil needs . Be assured we will retain <br /> enough growth medium on the site to assure reclamation and <br /> revegetation is successful. The topsoil and overburden stock- <br /> piles will be located around the excavation (their approximate <br /> locations are shown on the MINING PLAN MAP to reduce the haul <br /> distances when reclamation starts . If the soil stockpiles <br /> remain undisturbed for more than one year a cover crop consist- <br /> ing of the approved seed mix will be used at a rate of 42 <br /> pounds-PLS/acre will be planted on them. <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> Of the 46 . 91 acres ± in the permit area a maximum of 40 . 15 <br /> acres ± will be disturbed by the mining operation. Presented <br /> in this mining plan are detail plans for developing the mine <br /> under 2 different options . This is a change from the existing <br /> permit since there is no plan to connect the floors of the <br /> mines along the west side. In this revised plan, the first <br /> step will be to create slopes around the site as shown on the <br /> EXHIBIT F -OPTION 1 -RECLAMATION PLAN MAP. The second would be to <br /> mine thru the property line on the east side to join the floor <br /> with of this mine to the Huerfano County Orphan View Gravel <br /> Pit, as shown on the EXHIBIT F-1-OPTION 2 -RECLAMATION PLAN MAP. This <br /> leaves a flat area with no ridgeline and is preferred by Mr. <br /> Hribar who owns the property. The method of mining discussed <br /> below will fit each option unless other wise stated. Please <br /> use the RECLAMATION PLAN MAPS during review of the following text <br /> for the areas discussed. They show how the site would look, <br /> depending on what option is used. <br /> Mining began on the northern end of the site and continues <br /> to the permit boundaries on the west and south, as shown on the <br /> Mining Plan Map. The floor of Plant Site/stockpile area is on <br /> bedrock so it is on the final level to be mined and covers <br /> approximately 11 . 0 acres . The plan is to continue to mine into <br /> the gravel deposit working east until the permit limits are <br /> reached. During the initial mining along the south side, it <br /> was determined that there is a large quantity of unusable <br /> W5G- Hribar Pit Amendment 10 November 2020 <br />
