Page 2 of 2 <br /> Mining Limits <br /> Topsoil excavation will occur within the boundary of Lot B 2AMRECX19-01-2877. The mining <br /> limits are shown on Exhibit C - Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Maps of Affected Lands and are <br /> generally described as that portion of the site irrigated by the center pivot. Within that irrigated <br /> area the mining limits are further restricted by setbacks from property lines and existing <br /> structures and easements. The mined area will encompass approximately 78-acres of the 132- <br /> acre site. <br /> Mine Phasing <br /> Topsoil excavation will occur in two phases, as depicted on Exhibit C - Pre-Mining and Mining <br /> Plan Maps of Affected Lands. Phase 1 will be the northeastern half of the site and Phase 2 will <br /> be the southwestern half of the site. Phase 1 is expected to be mined in year one and reclaimed <br /> concurrently. Phase 2 is expected to be mined in years one and two and reclaimed concurrently. <br /> Final reclamation is expected to be completed within one to two years from the end of <br /> excavation for each phase,but not more than five years from the date each phase has <br /> commenced. <br /> Commodities and Intended Use <br /> Topsoil will be the only product mined.No secondary commodities or incidental products are <br /> anticipated. The topsoil will be taken off-site for use at various oil and gas sites throughout Weld <br /> County. <br /> Roadways <br /> There is an existing roadway that runs along the northern portion of the site which will be used <br /> for the mining activities. The access point for this roadway is on Weld County Road 27, <br /> approximately '/2 mile north of Highway 392. As the roadway currently supports heavy <br /> agricultural equipment, no on-site roadway improvements are anticipated. No off-site roadway <br /> improvements are anticipated as Weld County Road 27 is a paved arterial and Highway 392 is a <br /> paved state highway. <br />
