EXHIBIT D MINING PLAN(CONT) will be placed on areas where backfill sloping is needed so it only has to be handled once. As shown on Map Exhibit C-1, the working face and side slopes will be mined near vertical to maximize removal of material from the mine. At its widest point, the working face will be approxi- mately 950 feet long. If mining ends prematurely, this working face slope will be reclaimed using a cut/fill sloping method instead of backfilling, at 6.25 cy/lft to complete the 2H: 1V slopes. As mining reaches the mine setbacks around the perimeter the vertical faces on each side of the working face will be limited to 300 ft or less . These areas will be backfilled from the top of the slope to the mine floor, leaving a 2 : 1 slope. The mining setbacks will be 25 feet wide from the property line on the west and north side. On the east it will be 25 feet from the road or z48 ft from the property line and on the south it till be 25 feet from the north side of the United Water' s - water line ROW and 25 feet from the property line along the pond area. The setbacks will be used as a place for access roads to the mine exterior. The setback areas will be reclaimed if disturbed, but most roads will remain for farming access as part of the reclama- tion plan. The material will be mined using loaders and track hoes (exca- vators) to remove material from the face. The material will then be delivered directly to the portable plant for processing. 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. This pit will be operated year-around by the 8;,� Enterprises, weather permitting. There may be periods when the demands for material are slow and no mining will take place, creating an intermittent operation situation. The amount of disturbance to be bonded will cover 15 acres or less at any-one-time. Of this 15 acres, the Plant Site will cover less than 5 acres, and will contain processing plant/stockpile area, active mining area and equipment storage area. The remaining 5 acres will be pre-mining stripped area, reclamation material stockpiles, partially reclaimed area and reclaimed area waiting release and 5 will be the southern support area and roads . This amount of disturbance may change as the mine develops but prior to exceeding the initial 15 acres, a Technical Revision will be filed to increase the bond and allow for more disturbance. Areas not included in the bonded area will remain in agricultural production and the responsibility for weed 8 1/2 Enterprises LLC. December 9, 2025 Sasaki Pit 11
