• <br />EXHIBIT "D" <br />MINING PLAN <br />Mining is expected to begin in the summer of 2000 <br />Mining would have two phases; 1)pre-production site preparation; <br />2) production. <br />Pre-production site preparation activities are designed primarily to secure the site <br />boundaries, provide access for mining, storage and removal of gravel, and to implement <br />drainage improvements. This phase of mining would involve the following steps: <br />The entire site boundary would be fenced (4 strand barbed wire with metal <br />posts) and signed prevent trespassing and protect public safety. <br />2. The access road at the entrance to the site from Highway 67, located on <br />private land ,would be widened to approximately 40 feet, and new culverts <br />and drainage improvements would be installed. <br />Highway 67 would be re-stripped, in accordance with the State Highway <br />Access Permit issued by the Colorado Department of Transportation, to <br />provide acceleration and deceleration lanes for vehicles entering and leaving <br />the quarry. <br />An abandoned septic system and leach field located on the private land <br />portion of the mine would be removed and reclaimed in accordance with <br />state and local health regulations. <br />Drainage improvements including sediment traps, sediment detention basins, <br />lining of drainage ways and silt fencing would be implemented to reduce <br />erosion and sedimentation. These facilities would be located on both private <br />and National Forest System lands and would require ongoing modification <br />and maintenance throughout the nursing and reclamation phases of the project. <br />6. Upon completion of [he drainage improvements, the area to the west of the <br />base of [he existing slope, located on both private and National Forest <br />System lands, would be leveled and configured to provide areas for gravel <br />storage and loading of gravel onto trucks for removal from the site. <br />~s <br />
