EXHIBIT C- MINING PLAN <br /> (6.3.3) <br /> (1)(a) The owner is leveling an area to be used for a shop and storage area, and his plan requires <br /> the removal of some excess material, which he might put to beneficial use off of the <br /> property. The owner will do leveling in his spare time and is in no hurry to finish his <br /> project, so the anticipated date of closure is December 31, 2033. As it relates to the life <br /> of mine, and under provisions of Section 34-32.5-103(11)(b), C.R.S, if construction <br /> material reserves are shown by the operator to remain in the operation and the operator <br /> plans to, or does, temporarily cease production for one hundred eighty days or more, if <br /> such operator files a notice with the board stating the reasons for nonproduction, a plan <br /> for the resumption of production, and the measures taken to comply with reclamation and <br /> other necessary activities as established by the board to maintain the operation in a <br /> nonproducing state. The requirement of a notice of temporary cessation shall not apply to <br /> operators who resume operating within one year and have included in their permit <br /> applications a statement that the affected lands are to be used for less than one hundred <br /> eighty days per year. This owner anticipates that he will remove material (mine) less <br /> than 180 days per year but is likely able to move at least one truckload per year to be in <br /> compliance with regulations. <br /> (1)(b) The thicknesses of the "A and B Horizon" soils ranges from 0 inches to about 12 inches <br /> across the permit area. The operator will be diligent to save any soil materials that can <br /> be used for reclamation. That material will be kept stable and protected prior to <br /> placement during reclamation. All long-term soil stockpiles will be stored safely away <br /> from traffic, with their surface graded and seeded with a reclamation grass mix to help <br /> preserve the physical characteristics of the material and to minimize any erosion. <br /> (1)(c) The site was specifically chosen as it is a good site for building a shop and storage area, <br /> and since the design calls for removal of excess material to achieve the goals, there will <br /> be no overburden or waste rock produced. As a result, no waste rock piles are shown on <br /> the figures. <br /> (1)(d) The landowner simply wants to level the area and only wants to excavate to sufficient <br /> depth to reach his objectives. The maximum depth will be 20 feet at one location along <br /> the northern edge, and the amount of material moved will taper to zero feet on the south. <br /> (1)(e) The material is to be bulldozed, or loaded using a backhoe or front-end loader and hauled <br /> by truck. Ancillary items on site might include a shed if needed, along with equipment <br /> necessary to conduct the work. No mining equipment or mining structures will be fixed <br /> in place. <br />
