EXHIBIT D - MINING PLAN <br /> This information provided in this Exhibit is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined <br /> in Section 6.4.4 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Construction Material <br /> Rules and Regulations: <br /> Mining Plan <br /> The proposed mining plan does not differ from that previously approved by the DRMS. <br /> The proposed amended Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) Tucson South <br /> Resource mine area is approximately 1.5 miles south of the Aggregate Industries <br /> Wattenberg Lakes Mine (M-2004-051), which supplies aggregate construction <br /> materials to much of southern Weld and western Adams counties. The amended area <br /> will be a conveyer easement that will allow for export of mined material from the <br /> Tucson South Resource to the Wattenberg Lakes Mine. The amended Tucson South <br /> Resource Permit Boundary contains substantiated aggregate resources to continue <br /> the supply in this region of Colorado. Supplementing resources at the Wattenberg <br /> operation, new supplies from the amended Tucson South Resource will continue to <br /> provide construction materials to meet the Front Range Colorado demand. <br /> Introduction and Overview <br /> The amended Tucson South Resource permit area is currently owned by Aggregate <br /> Industries-WCR Inc., the City of Aurora, Adams County, Yoshi and Suzu, LLLP, <br /> Dorothy and James Struck, and Toby Struck. The permit area consists of dryland <br /> and irrigated agriculture, a reclaimed gravel resource, a partially reclaimed gravel <br /> resource, and a former greenhouse growing operation. Above ground structures at <br /> the greenhouse have been demolished and removed from the site. Below grade <br /> features will soon be demolished and hauled from the site. The previously permitted <br /> property is located north of Colorado Highway 7, bisected by Tucson Street. The <br /> amended area, providing an area for the conveyor easement, is along the east side <br /> of Tucson Street, the south side of 168th Ave. (aka Weld County Road 2), and the <br /> west side of Weld County Road 23.5 before crossing over Weld County Road 2.75 <br /> entering the Wattenberg Lakes facility. Aggregate Industries has entered into <br /> agreements with the City of Aurora, Yoshi and Suzu LLLP, Dorothy and James <br /> Struck, and Toby Struck to allow for the conveyor easement crossing. <br /> Mining of the Tucson South Resource is proposed to happen in two phases. The West <br /> Area (Phase 1) is located north of Colorado Highway 7 and west of Tucson Street, and <br /> the East Area (Phase 2) is located north of Colorado Highway 7 and east of Tucson <br /> Street. <br /> Aggregate Industries—Tucson South Amendment—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit D-1 <br />
