EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN AND TIMETABLE <br />LO(ATTON <br />The property is located in Grand County approximately 1.25 <br />miles east of Granby, Colorado. It will be a single stage mining <br />operation located on 38.65 ac. t north of the Praser River and <br />east of County Road 60 . Please refer to EXHIBIT B - VIGNITY MAP for the <br />property configuration and the relationships to surrounding <br />geological features. The area to be mined lies north of the <br />Fraser River on an elevated terrace deposit of gravel. <br />CURRENT CONDITIONS <br />The permit area covers a 38.65 acre ± parcel and the site <br />elevation is approximately 8250 feet, sea level datum. County <br />Road 60 runs long the north and west sides of the site and the <br />Fraser river is approximately 2200 feet south of the site. <br />Historically some gravel extractions has taken place on the site <br />and our discussion with neighbors indicated this was in the pre <br />1970. The old gravel mining area covers approximately 2.60 acres <br />and it appears to be very old. The pre-permit disturbed area <br />also includes a 2.45 acre area used by a contractor when County <br />Road 60 was rebuilt in 2001. Equipment and construction materi- <br />als were stored in various area on the north side and in the old <br />disturbance area. Some of the waste material from that project <br />is still on the site. Review of the area would suggest that no <br />new mining has take place in the old mine area for 10 plus years. <br />The PRE-MINING MAP - EXHIBIT C shows how the area looks at this <br />time, the pasture is fairly lush with a heavy sage brush cover. <br />The old mining area has been left with near vertical slopes, no <br />topsoil and miscellaneous junk on it. This pre permit distur- <br />bance area (5.05 ac.) is shown on the map and since mining will <br />redisturb the area it will be reclaimed when mining is done. The <br />gravel deposit is an terrace deposit that averages 100+ feet deep <br />across the property. <br />MAP EXHIBIT C shows the outline of the mining area, the touch- <br />ing landowners, easements and ROWS, the 200 foot ownership, <br />current topography, and hydrologic features of the property. The <br />land is presently used as under utilized rangeland by the land- <br />owners. Portions of the permit area are old mining area and non- <br />irrigated rangeland. Surrounding property uses include irrigated <br />3 <br />
