Exhibit D <br /> Mining Plan <br /> Introduction <br /> LTS Performance Horses LLC (LTS) is requesting this Construction Material Regular(112) <br /> Operation Reclamation Permit for the removal of 10-14 inches of topsoil from irrigated <br /> farmland. The property is described as Lot B 2AMRECX19-01-2877 located in part of the <br /> Southeast Quarter of Section 18, Township 6 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld <br /> County, Colorado. <br /> The approximately 132-acre site contains approximately 105-acres of active agricultural land <br /> under a center pivot irrigation system and 27-acres of"dry corners"outside of the center pivot <br /> irrigation range. LTS proposes to mine topsoil from approximately 78-acres. Topsoil will be <br /> taken off-site for use on various oil and gas sites throughout Weld County. Reclamation of the <br /> site will consist of re-grading to support an appropriate seedbed for revegetation. Following <br /> mining activities,the disturbed area will be regraded,tilled, and re-planted and will continue to <br /> be leased for growing corn. <br /> LTS is proposing to mine the upper 50-80 percent of topsoil from the irrigated portion of the site. <br /> Approximately 10-14 inches of topsoil will be removed, leaving at least 3-6 inches on site for <br /> reclamation purposes. The goal is to remove approximately 157,480 tons of topsoil over the <br /> course of two years. <br /> Mining Methods and Earthmoving <br /> A variety of earthmoving equipment will be used, including loaders, dozers, scrapers, and haul <br /> trucks. Water trucks will be used as necessary for dust control. Mined topsoil will be temporarily <br /> stockpiled in the northeast corner along the existing access road and Weld County Road 27. The <br /> topsoil will be loaded onto haul trucks for transport to the end user. No explosives will be used <br /> for extraction operations. <br /> Water Diversions and Impoundments <br /> The topsoil will be dry mined and will not result in the need for dewatering. The operation will <br /> not require any water diversions or impoundments. <br /> LTS Performance Horses LLC <br /> AGPROfessionals LTS Topsoil Mine <br /> DRMS Construction Material 112 Permit <br /> DEVELOPERS OF AGRICULTURE Case No.M-2024-XXX <br />
