MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D WONT)
County Road 18. The Sandstead Phase, the new north areas as well
as the southern area, will be marketed by L.G. Everist, Inc. as
they ar developed.
The areas being added have been used primarily as agricul-
tural land. The Northwest Phase is broken into 3 use areas, farm
yard with a house, wetland/creek area and agricultural produc-
tion. The house will be removed prior to mining. Mining will
take place on the yard and agricultural area in this Phase. The
Northeast Phases are mostly grass land with 2 irrigation ditches
crossing the site and a small farm yard near the northwest cor-
ner. LGE will maintain 50 foot setbacks along the diagonal ditch
corridor that has the Meadow Island #1 and the east lateral of
the Lupton Bottoms Ditch. If practical, the north/south leg of
the Lupton Bottoms ditch will be moved to the east side of North-
east Phase #3 so it can be combined with Northeast Phase #2 as
show in Option B.
The applicant will bond the amended property in phases, and
wishes to retain the option to seal each reservoir with either a
slurry wall or a compacted liner, until just prior to bonding
that particular phase. At the current time, slurry walls have
been constructed around the active mining areas and the reservoir
slopes are built by backfilling and grading or are in the process
of being completed. TABLE D-1 -MINING TIMETABLE has a current list of
all certified liners or lined areas being tested.
At any given time, mining and reclamation may be occurring
in one or more bonded phases to accommodate blending of materials
and relocation of the processing plant and settling ponds. There
will be times when reclamation is being completed in one phase
while mining begins in another phase. Mining will progress from
the existing permit area into the Northeast Phases then move to
the Northwest Phase leaving the Ft Lupton West Phase as the last
area to be mined. The arrows on the EXHIBIT C-1 -MINING PLAN MAP show
how mining will progress through the mine area at this time. The
order of mining in the south area will start on the west side and
mine to the east jumping from Phase to Phase. The last area to
be mined will be the future Plant Site area, see Exhibit C-1 -
Mining Plan Map.
Optional Mining and Reclamation Plans.
Due to the constantly expanding and changing development
nature of the oil and gas and other utility operations in this
area, L.G. Everist is submitting these Optional Mining and Recla-
mation Plans with this amendment to guarantee the flexibility to
make changes to mining areas and reservoir shapes throughout the
life of the mine. During the current run of mining and reclama-
tion we have seen many changes to the Oil and Gas (O&G) facilities
that are reflected on the current version of the maps and mining
areas. We continue to stay abreast of, and in contact with, the
oil and gas and utility companies about future structure and
easement changes, including plans to relocate some of their
facilities, plans to remove some of the older wells and facili-
ties, and plans for oil and gas companies to add new structures
as their permitting allows.
