' Exhibit D - Mining Plan
' This is a Regular (112) Permit application for a dry gravel pit
' located in Fremont County. The site to be mined lies approximately 0.5
mile west of Florence on a high, dry terrace formed by the historic
' occupation of the Arkansas River and its tributaries. The terrace to be
mined lies approximately 100 feet above and approximately 0.7 miles south
' of the modern river. The upper surface of the terrace has minimal relief,
' ranging from nearly level to only a few percent. The slope increases on
the terrace outslopes to around 40 percent or so, and locally steeper where
the County road cuts the slope. The area immediately to the north is a
railroad grade, and the areas surrounding this are rangeland. The top of
