• EXH~T D 1 of 1 <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />(A) Mining will be performed using standard earth moving equipment. Jaw <br />and cone crushers along with screening plant, ground and stacking <br />conveyors will be used to process the pit run material. 100% of the <br />material obtained from the pit wall can be processed through our <br />equipment. No waste piles will be generated from the mining <br />operation. <br />(B) Earthmoving shall be accomplished using dozers to push up the <br />material and wheel loader to feed the crushers, or load pit run directly <br />into over-the-road trucks. <br />(C) No water diversion or impoundment's are necessary for this operation. <br />(D) The total area to be mined is 38.4 acres. The initial phase 1 area <br />disturbance will begin along the eastern edge of the pit area. The <br />Eastern half will be stripped of the topsoil which then will be piled on <br />the eastern edge of the affected area. Digging will then commence in <br />that area the proceeding westerly towards the phase 2 area taking a <br />good cross section of material out of that area. Then phase 2 mining <br />will proceed to the western boundary. Once the area is finished then <br />mining will go to the north. Phase 3 mining will be directly west of the <br />staging area. Annual disturbance is related to market demands. We <br />project initial disturbance to be about 3 acres the first year with mining <br />occurring in about 1 acre of this. Mining should progress at the rate of <br />1 acre per year. <br />(E) The mining of the permitted area will be over an indefinite period of <br />time. The topsoil will be restored on the new side slopes as the pit <br />progresses. Topsoil will be taken from the top of the area to be mined <br />and stockpiled for about 1 year and then placed back along the side <br />slopes. The pit area will be for stockpiling gravel and scaling <br />operations. <br />(F) Please see Map D for reference. <br />(I) Mining depth to average 15'. Mining is limited to due ground <br />water constraints. <br />
