iz A~IINING PLAN SEC 12 & 11, T35N, RI7W, NbIPh7 STONE GRAVEL PIT DAREN STONE -PROPRIETOR EXHIBIT D A wheeled front-loader is to be employed in grade level excavation of surface alluvial gravel deposits at the full depth of the gravel resource, following the stripping and stockpiling of 6 to 12 inches of surface soils (including vegetation). Initially financial warranty shall be posted only for reclamation for the disturbance of the process/stockpile area, for the entire activity of mining the first unit, and for stripping surface soil from the second unit to be mined. MINING UNIT I The initial unit to be mined, "Unit I", is located 100 feet north and 150 feet east of the southwest permit/property corner. It extends 150 feet north and 350 to 450 feet east, encompassing 1.4 acres of mining surface. The next 150-foot wide unit to be mined shall be directly north of Unit I, but extends several hundred feet further east than Unit I at its north boundary. A 4-acre process/stockpile (Proe/Stock) area just east of Units I 6 II, being approximately 400 by 400 feet, including the existing main access road, shall initially be stripped of 6 to 12 inches of surface soil and leveled up for use. Such surface soils stripped shall be stockpiled along the west half of the south edge of that Proc/Stock area, and shall be seeded for erosion control per the reclamation seeding specification of Exhibit E below. Next, 6 to 8 inches of surface soils shall be stripped from the mining IInits I 6 II, to be placed between the west boundaries of those units and the west permit/property boundary. A 25-foot setback shall be maintained between that "topsoil" stockpile and Units I 6 II to allow room for "cut & fill" slope reduction of the west headwalls of those mining units. Surface stripping and stockpiling shall be accomplished with elevating wheeled scrapers, tracked bull- dozers, or a combination of scraper/bulldozers. Topsoil
