11 <br /> Exhibit D Mining Plan: On November 22, 2021 BLM awarded C&J Gravel our 2021 <br /> contract. This contract is for 35.43 acres, 3,008,247 tons of material over the next 5 <br /> years. <br /> A. Site prep <br /> i. Relocate existing bike trail in the center of the permitted area and reroute the trail <br /> to be outside the mining area. <br /> ii. Install warning signs and construct proper barriers around the mining area. <br /> iii. Manage weeds as needed throughout the year. <br /> iv. Sometime in the near future; "possibly mid-summer", we will start using our new <br /> access though Zyme Rock Road to the roundabout on Wilson Gulch Drive. We will <br /> also continue with traffic through our current access as well. See Map D7. We are <br /> still currently working with engineers and such to build the design. The majority of <br /> the dirt along with cuts and fills are in place. It will be around 2,700' long and 30' <br /> wide. Of the 2,700' only about 1,800' will be in the affected lands. Parcel G,H,I all <br /> belonging to Gilleland Enterprises. This road will remain after mining has finished <br /> allowing Gilleland Enterprises access to their commercial property up top. <br /> V. There will also be a new intersection off of Zyme Rock Road to get to the bottom of <br /> the Gilleland Enterprises properties. In the next 1-2 years. See Map D7 for <br /> "approximate spot" of intersection leading to the bottom. <br /> vi. These roads will be used during our current process of mining and sells of <br /> aggregate. <br /> vii. Post mining the roads will remain in place and in use to allow access to the Gilleland <br /> Enterprises properties for future commercial activities. <br /> B. Earth moving <br /> i. Establish storm water management to prevent erosion and sediment run off. <br /> ii. Clearing of the permitted area will done in sections of 2-3 acres at a time. <br /> iii. Trees and vegetation: Dozers and excavators will strip and grub vegetation. This will <br /> be stockpiled for later use in the reclamation process. <br /> iv. Topsoil: Dozers will strip and stockpile topsoil for later reclamation purposes. <br /> V. Overburden: Dozers, loaders, haul trucks and excavators will remove overburden. <br /> vi. Our current mining techniques have utilized a dozer knocking down the mining face, <br /> leaving little to no vertical highwalls. <br /> vii. Disturbance of lands may vary depending on: demand and material quality for spec <br /> projects. <br /> viii. Loaders will tram the material from mining area to the portable crushers for <br /> processing of the material. <br /> ix. After being sorted in the crushing operation, the various material will be stockpiled <br /> for sale. <br /> X. Areas mined to the shale will be backfilled with clean imported fill from outside jobs. <br />
