Exhibit C <br />63.3 The mining plan for Cazrizo Stone sandstone quarry is as follows: <br />(Also map included under map section/exhibit e) <br />(a)Specify the estimated dates that mining will commence and end: <br />Present plans aze for mining to start as soon as permit is approved. The 9.9 acre <br />quarry is anticipated to have at least a 20 yeaz life. The life of this 110 permit is <br />dependant upon the amount of and feasibihty of selling the sandstone for <br />construction use, and will vary as demand/sales occur. This sandstone will be <br />used for construction purposes only and will be sold for private and commercial use. <br />(b)The depth of plant growth medium to be salvaged for reclamation wil] vary <br />from 0"to 6". Although it is baca-clay loam topsoil it is an adequate growth medium. <br />Established topsoil stockpiles will be saved on site and moved only when needed to prepare <br />the site for seeding. Topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with 7#PLS per acre of buffalo grass <br />and blue gramma grass to reduce the chance of erosion. Plant growth stockpiles will be <br />located sepazate from other stockpiles.The location of stockpiles are shown on Exhibit E <br />map. <br />(c}The overburden depth varies from 0" to 1 foot. <br />(d)Present indications aze that the deposit will have 5 to 10 feet to be mined. <br />(e)The major components of the mining operation aze limited. Access to the quarry <br />will be by County Road 3 and an existing ranch road which the owners wants left for use upon <br />completion. County Road 3 connects to Highway 160 East, this distance is approximately <br />8 miles. There will be no officeshop /maintenance facility. The only equipment used will <br />be skid steers and saws to remove the stone. Production is expected to be roughly 5000 <br />tons per year. Since this a dry open quarry operation there will be no underground openings <br />such as adits of ventilation facilities. <br />(f)The only existing significant disturbance to the land is an old pre-law quarry of about <br />1 acre, that will be permitted quarry excavation. All topsoil is gone and no plant growth has <br />been established. This azea is in the permit area of the 9.9 acres. There will be no mine benches, <br />impoundments or water rock disposals. <br />
