<br />a parcel of land approximately 220 acres. Since the application will be changed to reflect the correct <br />number of acres (220), this will then correspond to the acreage figures found elsewhere in the <br />application. <br />Exhibit "C" -Pre-minine and Minin¢ Plan Maps <br />All easements and easement holders and structures will be shown on the revised Pre-mining and <br />Mining maps. <br />The San Luis Central Railroad shown on [he east end of the proposed permitted area, has an <br />easement of 100 feet wide, measured 50 feet each way from the centerline of the tracks. No part of <br />this easement will be included in [he permitted area. <br />The 200 foot non-mining buffer zone that runs parallel to [he section line North to South is not in <br />the permit area until it crosses the panhandle of the permit area, 1120 feet south of the northeast of <br />Section 20, [hen it crosses the permit area for an additional 1320 feet back to the P.O.B., This is a <br />200-foot buffer zone in order to keep mining (excavation) away from the existing private ranch road. <br />The existing ranch road that runs North to South parallel to the buffer on [he east side will not be <br />used for mine pit traffic of any egress [o and from the pit area. A pit road will be built to cross the <br />existing ranch road from East to West and the storage and stockpile and railroad loading areas in <br />the southwest area of the permitted area. No haul roads are proposed except the entry road on the <br />north side of the pit where it connects to the North Farm Road. This is the only county approved <br />access, and will be the only point of access for pit traffic. This road will be in the permit area. The <br />railroad will be used for export of sand and gravel via train only. <br />In sunvnary, only the entry point on the North Farm Road will service this pit for Haulage and normal <br />pit traffic. The rail spur will be used to export product by the railroad only. No traffic will be routed <br />through ranch headquarters or near the proposed rail spur. <br />The entry gate and road that are shown on the north side of the azea to be mined is the only access <br />to the pit via public roads, and a segment of this road is outside the proposed permit boundary. The <br />road does not exist at present, and it is proposed to be constructed when mining starts. We will need <br />to bond for the pit access road. The road will be approximately 48 feet by 200 feet, or 9,600 s.f. (.22 <br />acre), which, when added to the 219.706 acres as described by the metes and bounds traverse is <br />219.93 acres, or approximately 220 acres as per the application -Item 3 Permitted acreage. No other <br />entrance to the pit is proposed, neither ranch headquarters nor rail spur will be access outlets for pit <br />traffic, as stated before in this letter. <br />
