We began our mining operations where the previous operator had left off. We are currently <br />working westward through Area 1. At our current rate of mining and removal of materials, we <br />anticipate approximately seven to ten years before reaching the edge of Area 9. When Importation of <br />Inert Materials is available, we will begin stockpiling backfill material on the eastern side of Area 1 and <br />work westward as well, backfilling concurrently with mining, and preparing for reclamation in the <br />same direction. We plan on only disturbing one Area at a time, keeping within the regulations of only <br />disturbing 10 acre sections at a time. <br />After mining, backfilling and reclamation of Area 1 is completed, we will begin mining on the <br />eastern side of Area 9 and continue to work westward. Again, this is estimated to take approximately 10 <br />years at our current rate. If our demand for materials increases, and mining operations proceed quicker <br />than currently estimated, we will update our Mining Plan. <br />Rule 6.4.45 – Exhibit E – Reclamation Plan: <br />Weed survey and chemical treatment was conducted April 14, 15 and 16, 2025 by a Qualified <br />Supervisor and Certified Applicator. We will submit the invoice from this treatment as soon as possible, <br />but are currently awaiting a duplicate from the applicator. <br />This concludes the Operator's responses to the Preliminary Adequacy Review of TR-2. <br />Brandon Garrison <br />Operations Manager <br />Mortensen's Landscape & Irrigation <br />(719) 580-7006
