MINING PLAN AND TIMETABLE EXHIBIT D(CONT) <br /> called for in the EXHIBITE-RECLAMATION PLAN, will be used to revegetate <br /> them. <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> This mining plan is designed as a two-stage startup that <br /> will allow for issuance of the permit at a lower initial bond. <br /> Operations Stage A covers the preparation of the Plant Site area. <br /> Operations Stage B will cover full implementation of the mining <br /> plan. A Technical Revision for a bond increase will be filed <br /> prior to starting Operations Stage B that will allow construction <br /> of a slurry wall, land stripping and mining in the first mining <br /> Phase and covers the Operations Stage A disturbed area. <br /> OPERATIONS STAGE A <br /> Activities during this stage of startup would allow for de- <br /> velopment of the permanent Plant Site to be located in Phase 4 . <br /> It will cover the northern 50 . 00 acres of Phasel and will include <br /> stripping, salvaging topsoil and overburden, and processing plant <br /> construction. As a part of this development a wash water set- <br /> tling pond and fresh water pond facility will be constructed in <br /> Phase 1 that covers approximately 6. 0 acres. <br /> The Plant Site will contain the processing plant/stockpile <br /> area, equipment storage area, temporary overburden and topsoil <br /> piles, drying pads and other axillary uses needed at the mine. <br /> Processing equipment may include but is not limited to conveyors, <br /> crushers and screen plants. A scale and scale house will be <br /> built at the entrance and auxiliary uses may include a Concrete <br /> Batch Plant, an Asphalt Batch Plant and a recycling facility, <br /> that will be placed in the Plant Site Area. EXHIBITL-RECLAMATIONCOSTS <br /> contains the information needed to establish the Operations Stage <br /> A financial warranty amount and an analysis for the transition to <br /> Operations Stage B - full mining activities . <br /> OPERATIONS STAGE B <br /> Prior to full mine operations and the move into Phase 1 a <br /> Technical Revision will be filed to increase the financial war- <br /> ranty adequate to cover the mining plan as described in the fol- <br /> lowing text . <br /> The plan is to have no more than 205 acres ± of disturbance <br /> bonded to allow for flexibility during mining. This 205 acre <br /> area will include stripped, partially mined, partially reclaimed, <br /> L.G. EVERIST, INC-WEST FARM RESERVOIRS November 2022 <br /> 9 <br />
