MINING PLAN ADDENDUM EXHIBIT C <br />WATER RESOURCES <br />This is a dry mining operation. There are no water <br />structures on or adjacent to the site. An small creek runs along <br />the southern edge of the site and caries runoff from the area <br />west and south of the site. The bottom of this creek is approxi- <br />mately the same elevation at the mine floor. Mining will not <br />reach the ground water table since mining will be on a gravel <br />bench above the creek. The closest water body is the Williams <br />Fork River, approximately 2200 feet east-northeast and 50 feet <br />lower that the site. <br />There is no ground water elevation information available for <br />the area. However, we do not expect to encounter ground water on <br />this site because its floor elevation will be 0 to 20 feet lower <br />than the existing ground elevations or 20 feet above the creek. <br />We will not affect the hydrologic balance of the surface or <br />subsurface water in the area. No water is used at this site. <br />SLOPING PLAN <br />As noted in the application Grand County committed to <br />sloping any mined areas to a rate no more that 2:1. Grand County <br />may choose to leave some at the 3:1 rate but will only commit to <br />leaving reclaimed slopes a minimum of 2:1. The floor of the mine <br />will have a gentle slope from the base of the 2:1 slopes on the <br />west and south sides to the north side of the mine to maintain <br />positive surface drainage as required by the USFS. <br />MINING METHOD, PROCESSING METHOD AND EQUIPMENT <br />Mining will be-done~by using front-end loaders and dozers to <br />remove the bank material and deliver it to the processing plant. <br />Processing will take place on site using a portable screen and <br />crusher. The plant will not be permanently located on this site. <br />This plant will be located close to the mine face as it advances <br />to the south. <br />On-site equipment may include, but is not limited to, a <br />motor grader, front-end loaders, motor scrapers, a dozer, convey- <br />ors, a crusher, a screening plant, dump trucks and a water truck. <br />REGEB~JED <br />JUN 0 51Q06 <br />Division of Minerals and QnnIaBY <br />
