<br />lJ <br />EXHIBIT D <br />Mining Plan <br />Phase 1 Area A will be quarried for limestone. The available topsoil ., <br />from area A will be removed and stockpiled in the designated <br />areas, as shown on the mining and reclamation map. The over- <br />burden stone from area A will be blasted ,hauled and stockpiled <br />along the eastern perimeter of the area to be excavated. The <br />overburden varies in depth from 0 to 20 feet thick, averaging <br />10 feet. This material will be stockpiled on an average of <br />15 feet thick in the perimeter area. This area will be developed <br />from the north edge and proceed south. <br />Upon removal of the overburden material, the high calcium lime- <br />stone will be removed using conventional open pit drilling and <br />blasting methods. The limestone will be loaded into trucks <br />and hauled to the stockpile area for sizing and stockpiling. <br />• <br />The stockpile area will be leveled and contoured to provide <br />drainage in the area shown on the aerial photograph and mining <br />map. <br />Any topsoil encountered will be removed ,segregated and preserved <br />in the area shown on the map and aerial photograph. As with <br />the topsoil in the quarry area, the topsoil will be segregated <br />in an area to minimize erosion, limit rehandling and will be <br />vegetated to preserve it from wild and water erosion. <br />The haulage road from the stockpile area to Area B and proposed <br />access road to highway 285 will be constructed during this phase. <br />This phase will require 48 months. The disturbance during this <br />time will be <br />Major - 11.75 acres <br />Moderate- Roads 1.8 <br />Minor - 0 <br />. y <br />~=. <br />C ~ <br />J <br />
