<br />EXHIBIT D <br />CASTLE SAND PIT <br />MINING PLAN <br />The Sand Pit Operation is situated on 31 acres of land in <br />which 28 acres are used as an open pit sand extraction operation. <br />This mine has been operated by Castle Concrete for several years and <br />will continue to operate in the following manner: <br />The extraction of sand from Tracts "A", "B", and "C" <br />(Exhibit C2) will continue as front-end loaders load trucks which <br />then transport the sand to the Sand Flant Operation, a distance <br />of approximately 1 mile. This operation is expected to continue <br />on Tract "A" for a period of approximately 2 years at which time <br />Castle Concrete Company will convert this 10 acres of land to a <br />sanitary landfill project. Sand extraction will continue in Tracts <br />"B" and "C" until all the quality sand is moved and then both these <br />areas, totaling approximately 18.2 acres, will be turned into a <br />sanitary landfill project. <br />Past experiences have proven that water diversion or <br />impoundment is not required on this site. <br />Original soils on ttie Sand Pit site were Blakeland loamy <br />Sand. The surface layer being loamy coarse sand about 14 inches <br />thick. Sand extraction from this pit is expected to be approximately <br />95 feet deep. The underlying deposits usually consist of shale. <br />`., <br />CR3 34-32-113 <br />
