EXHIBIT "D" <br />Mining Plan <br />6.4.4 The Mining Plan for the BIG 'G" PIT is as follows (Please also see map)'. <br />This will be typical open pit gravel mme located on an upland terrace gravel deposit <br />An asphalt hot mix plant and or a concrete batch plant will be set up for protects in the <br />area from time to time, this use is permitted by the Pueblo County Special Use Permit <br />SUP Number 2006-008 <br />(a) This operation of this mine will be carried out in phases. Each phase will <br />repeat the steps below. <br />The initial preparation of the surface before extraction of the sand and gravel <br />will consist of stripping the vegetation and topsoil and placing it in stockpiles <br />for use later during reclamation. Front-end loaders. scrapers, and Excavators <br />or any other suitable surface equipment will be used <br />Following the strapping of vegetation and topsoil and saving in stockpiles, <br />earthen berms will be constructed where needed to keep the stormwater from <br />running into the river drainage this will be part of the stormwater management <br />plan Amore detailed view of the mining area can be seen on Exhibit 'C" the <br />Mining map. <br />Extraction of the resource (Pit Run) will be accomplished wfth front-end <br />loaders, dozers, scrapers, backhoe excavators, or any surface mining type of <br />equipment that is economically feasible for this site <br />This is an open pit surface mine, and mmmg and construction equipment <br />designed for this task will be used for earthmovmg and transporting on site <br />Mining Excavation will move southeast m the pit Area, The mining will be done <br />in such a manner as to minimize any high walls and as much as possible the <br />pit walls will be left at a 3H' 1 V gradient, or flatter if the terrain permits <br />During all phases, Best Management Practices must and will be followed <br />(b) All earthmoving will be done with machinery designed for the job, eg Dozer, <br />front-end loaders, scrapers, excavators, etc <br />
