<br /> <br /> DATE ~"" 23 <br />• <br /> EXHIBIT D <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> Mining operations will be conducted by first stripping the area with <br /> dragline, loaders, dozers, and other conventional earth-moving <br /> equipment. Dredging ponds will be opened initially by the use of <br /> draglines to obtain floati~ig area for a dredge. Dredging will be <br /> conducted with a six to twelve inch conventional gravel dredge presently <br /> owned or to be purchased. Screens, bins and dewatering equipment <br /> will be located on shore-side facilities. Dewatering shall be co~iducted <br /> in the following manner; a holding pond will be excavated in the area <br /> to be mined and caaste water will be pumped into the pond so waste fines <br /> will settle. The pond will have an overflow flowing into the Cac}~e La <br /> Poudre River. The operator has applied for a National Pollutant <br /> Discharge Elimination System Permit. All materials dredged and excavated <br /> will be used in the production of the mining operation, so there dill <br /> be no waste products generated from the dredging operation. <br /> No excavation shall be permitted within ten feet of any boundary line. <br /> The extraction area will be fenced and enclosed as required by We].d <br /> County. <br />• MINING TIMETABLE <br /> Phase 1 will begin in 1978, starting of the 15 acre pond. <br />Phase 2 and 3 will be started at a later date. Reclamation of Phase <br />2 and 3 are discussed in this plan and will be permitted at a later <br />date. <br />Completion date of Phase One is estimated to be 1987. <br />EXHIBIT E <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The reclaimed land will be used as private fishing ponds and as an <br />area for ducks and other waterfowl to land. Reclamation will be three <br />ponds, the Easterly one, ten acres, the Southerly one, eight acres, <br />the Westerly one, nine acres. The ponds will have a sloped bank no <br />steeper than 2:1. They will have a depth of approximately Chirty <br />feet. The area of the banks and between ponds will be restored. <br />Preservation shall be made of existing trees and vegetation along the <br />Cache La Poudre River, so as to preserve that area for cover and wildlife <br />use. Total affected land area is forty acres more or less. <br />• <br />
