EXHIBIT D RECEIVED <br /> Harold Eichman Pit AUG 19 2022 <br /> M-1985 105 <br /> MINING PLAN DIVISION OF RECLAMPâ–șTION <br /> MINING AND SAFETY <br /> A tracked dozer or front-end loader working from west to east or south to north <br /> will push the sand and gravel being mined in this operation into a stockpile. A front-end <br /> loader will then load the material from the stockpile into haul trucks. Some of the sand <br /> and gravel could remain in the stockpile for several weeks. The sand and gravel will be <br /> utilized in the maintenance and construction of county roads in District 3 of Lincoln <br /> County. <br /> Prior to removal of the sand and gravel 3 to 5 inches of topsoil will be stockpiled <br /> for later use in the reclamation of the affected lands. These topsoil stockpiles will be hand <br /> seeded to stabilize the piles and prevent erosion(see attached memo from Brian Johnson <br /> N.R.C.S. for seed to be used, amounts and seeding seasons.)Any overburden that <br /> underlies the topsoil will either be used as binder or stockpiled for later use in the <br /> reclamation. These stockpiles will also be hand seeded for stabilization and to prevent <br /> erosion. The maximum size area that will be mined at one time would be from 7 to 9 <br /> acres. <br /> This operation will be active but will be used les than 180 days per year. <br /> The over burden to be removed is a mix of soil and sand and gravel that gets <br /> sandier with increasing depth. The sand and gravel to be mined varies in thickness from 7 <br /> to 15 feet. The material that under lays the sand and gravel is a mix of clay and sand that <br /> turns to clay a great depth. <br /> The primary commodity being extracted is sand and gravel.No incidental <br /> products will be mined.No processing of the material will occur in the pit area. The only <br /> water used in the pit area would be for dust abatement. <br /> No explosives are used in either the mining or reclamation. <br /> Pond Creek which is on the edge of the Eichman Pit will have a berm that will help with <br /> flooding from the creek if there is any or water getting out of the pit. The berm will also <br /> help to keep boundaries so now machinery can move outside the boundaries of the pit. <br /> 4 <br />
