EXHIBIT 0 MINING PLAN(CONT) a 150 foot radius around each well head since we plan to leave the natural gravel slope in the reservoirs . The MAP EXHIBIT C1 MINING PLAN MAP shows how this will look . The gravel bands around the reservoirs will be used as a place for access roads to serve the reservoir exterior, ditches and oil and gas facilities . The setback areas will be reclaimed if disturbed, but most roads will remain for reservoir access as part of the Reclamation Plan . The material will be mined using loaders and track hoes (excavators) to remove material from the face . The material will then be delivered to the Plant for processing using haul trucks or a conveyor system. No blasting will take place at this mine. Reclamation will run concurrent with mining to control the amount of disturbed area in the mine at any one time. A reclamation cost estimate presented in EXHIBITI-covers the current and future conditions at the mine. This pit will be operated year around by L. G. Everist, Inc. , weather permitting. There may be periods when the demands for material are slow and no mining will take place, creating an intermittent operations situation. The maximum amount of disturbance may be 350 acres or less at any one time. Of these 350 acres, the Plant Site will cover 68 acres, containing processing plant/stockpile area, equipment storage area, temporary overburden and topsoil piles, drying pads and other axillary uses needed at the mine. The remaining 282 acres will contain 100 acres of pre mining stripped area, the active mining area, reclamation material stockpiles, slurry wall pad area, partially reclaimed area and reclaimed area waiting release. The reservoir below water areas is not included in the bond since no reclamation is required on that area. This bonded amount within the total disturbance area may change as the mine develops but prior to exceeding the bonded acers, a Technical Revision will be filed to increase the bond. Areas not included in the bonded area will remain in agricultural production and the responsibility for weed control and agricultural area maintenance is retained by the landowners . Review of MAP EXHIBIT C1 MINING PLAN MAP shows how we expect the site to look when mining has progressed to competition and prior to any backfilling. Note, the floor of the excavation is generally flat and the slopes into the reservoirs are 3h to 1v where mining is complete on the perimeter. Please refer to the MINING TIMETABLES for the estimated acreage of each area associated with the mining part of this operation. Mining equipment may include but is not limited to, front end loaders, scrapers, excavators, a drag line, dozers, off road haul trucks, dump trucks and a water truck.
