i <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />General Descrlptlon <br />The Mid-Western Farms Pit will be mined for river-run alluvium, principally sand and <br />gravel. This mining will be under the terms of an Regular Operations (112) Permit. The <br />amount of material to be removed annually will be in the vicinity of 1,900,000 tons per <br />year, <br />The proposed mine is located within part of Sections 13 and 14, T23S, R43W and part <br />of Sections 17 and 18 T23S, R42W north of the Arkansas River. Mining will be set back <br />a minimum 400 feet from the river. An area of dense, scrub and grassland vegetation <br />will be avoided along the north bank of the Arkansas River by limiting mining to north of <br />an existing levee and roadway. Mining will be setback a minimum of 30 feet from this <br />roadway. <br />Mining at the Mid-Western Farms Pit will be classified as a wet operation. Sand and <br />gravel deposits on-site have been determined to lie as deep as 60 feet from on-site test <br />holes that were drilled. Groundwater was encountered at 12 to 14 feet below the existing <br />ground surface. Because of the minimum 400 foot setback from the Arkansas River, <br />water from the lakes to be created by mining, will not be discharged back into the River. <br />Method of Mlnlns <br />It is anticipated that wet mining will be utilized throughout the mining of Phases 1 through <br />7 (please see accompanying Exhibit C, Pre-mining and Mining plan). The mining method <br />will be by clam shell dredge. Mining will begin at the middle portion of the property and <br />will proceed east along the Arkansas River alignment than west from phase 1. Mining <br />will observe a 30 foot setback from the existing levee and roadway (which separates the <br />primary low lying overbank area of the River) and a 400 foot minimum setback from the <br />River channel itself. It is expected that the sand and gravel resource material available <br />immediately adjacent to the River will be a higher grade resource than elsewhere. <br />D-1 <br />
