EXHIBIT A - Leal Description The west 654' of the north 660' of the NW 1 /4 of the SE I/4 of Section 33, T8N, R43 W of the 6a' P.M. in Phillips County Colorado. Said portion of the SE Y< will contain approximately 9.9 acres, including the access road. Delineator boundary posts will be set to mazk the pit azea as shown on the attached maps. EXHIBIT B -Site Descrintion Vegetation - The azea is currently farmed. It was in wheat last summer and currently has wheat stubble. Wildlife - No significant amount of wildlife has been encountered during any of the visits to the site. There are no known threatened or endangered species in the area. Soils information - The Soil Conservation Service soils map shows the soil in the pit area as being Platner Loam, Rago, and Kuma soils. This soil often borders intermittent drainageways, containing gravel. These areas can be a Fair source of gravel below 2 feet. Water Resources - The pit site is located on Wiidhorse Creek, an intermittent creek, which eventually ties to Frenchman Creek, which is also intermittent. This is normally a dry creek, flowing only in periods of heavy run-off. Since the creek has been farmed, there is no defined channel width. During periods of heavy rainfall, the flow will enter and sweep the pit azea, often depositing more gravel. Because the sand and gravel at the bottom of the creek allows rapid percolation, water will not stand more than a few days at the most. The excavation will be such that ground water elevations will not be encountered. No existing water rights will be injured. EXHIBIT C - Minims Plan Access is available off County Road 26, directly into the creek/pit azea. Sand and gravel will be mined over the entire pit azea. Topsoil will be stockpiled to the north side of the pit prior to commencement of mining. The area north of the creek will be mined first. Mining will proceed from the creek northward. The southern portion will be the last portion mined. Excavation will continue as gravel is needed for local road operations and as the supply remains available. It is anticipated that mining will be from 15-20 feet deep, but if supply is abundant, mining could go deeper. Some stockpiling maybe done at the site, but most of the gravel will be utilized as it is mined. Any stockpiling that does occur will pazallel the creek bed so as not to restrict flow. No processing of material is anticipated in the pit.
