RECEIVED <br />APR ~ $2006 <br />Minine Plan Exhibit C <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />This is an open faced construction materials mine located approximately 17 miles north of <br />Debeque Colorado on County Road 211. Mining access will be via a private road one mile north <br />of the end of County Road 211. <br />The proposed mine will be for private natural resource development. The duration of activity <br />at this site will be dependent upon the amount of mineral resource development in the area and <br />the amount of material in on this site. The site is currently used as dry land range and consists of <br />a large talus slope on the east side of the road. The material on this slope ranges from 0 to 60 feet <br />deep. The soil covering ranges from 0 to 5 inches thick. The toe of the slope will be removed as <br />mining progresses from north to south. The material will be excavated with excavator/loader <br />working the face of the slope. Trucks will haul off the material as needed. The material will be <br />removed down to a horizontal surface which follows the elevation contours of the toe of the <br />slope. A dozer will push down the high wall material creating terraces as a safety break making <br />the slope more stable and reducing the need for reclaiming a large high wall. The pre mining <br />slope is 3h to lv. The post mining slope will be brought back to a lh to lv. This will be <br />achieved using a dozer to knock slough down the face of the terraces using the breaks as a means <br />for access. <br />The material will be used to supply construction material for mineral resource development in <br />the area. The landowner will use the flat surface created after mining as a staging area for <br />equipment after mining subsides. The sloped areas will be re-contoured to a desired angle of <br />repose to insure stability of slope when mining has ceased. <br />The area of disturbance will not exceed 8.0 acres. Terraces will be formed on the mined slope <br />for access and stability during material removal. The flat azea developed by removal of the <br />material will be utilized as a drilling pad and for mineral resource recovery. <br />The material will be excavated with a dozer and loaded with a front end loader. No blasting <br />will be done on this site. All material excavated from site is for the sole use of the landowner <br />none will be sold. The material excavated from this site will not be processed. No major stock <br />piles will be needed on site because the material will be excavated on an as needed basis. Mining <br />activity will vary from month to month depending on the amount of material needed. <br />The mine will operate year round with periods of inactivity when adverse weather conditions <br />exist. There may be periods when no activity takes place on the mine because there is no demand <br />for material. No estimate is available for how long these periods of inactivity will be, but may <br />last 6 months or more. <br />Mining will be done by using a dozer to push material down the mine face into piles. It will <br />then be loaded into dump trucks by a front end loader. On site equipment may include, but is not <br />limited to, a motor grader, front end loader, motor scrapers, a dozer, dump trucks, a water truck <br />and a track hoe. <br />Water use will be limited to dust control. These services will be combined into an existing <br />contract Chevron has with Dalbo Services, Inc. Dalbo controls the water lease contracts <br />pertaining to this site and other activity in the area. <br />NOATH CLEAR CREEK CONSTR[iCTION MATERIALS MWE CORDII.I.ERAN COMPLIANCE SERVICES, INC <br />EO7574 PAGE90F 21 GRAND]GNCQON, COLORADO <br />
