<br />EXHIBIT "D" <br />PINO PIT <br />MINING PLAN <br />6.4.4 The Mining Plan for the Pino Pit is as follows (Please also see map): <br />(a) The initial preparation of the surface before extraction of the sand and gravel will consist of <br />stripping the vegetation and topsoil and placing it in stockpiles for use later during reclamation. <br />Front-end loaders, scrapers, and motor graders may be employed for this phase. <br />The next phase after removal of the vegetation and topsoil is the extraction of t){ resource (sand and <br />gravel), which will be accomplished with front-end loaders, dozers, scrapers, backhoe excavators, <br />draglines, or any surface mining type of equipment that is economically feasible for this site. <br />As explained above, this is an open pit surface mine, and mining and construction equipment design <br />for this task will be used for earthmoving and transporting both on site and trucking off site. <br />(b) All earthmoving will be done with machinery designed for the job, eg. Dozer, front-end loaders, <br />scrapers, excavators, etc. <br />(c) No water diversions or impoundments are planned for this project. <br />(d) The size of maximum disturbance will be approximately 35 acres at any one time, and will <br />consist of a combination of mining, processing, stockpiling, hot mix asphalt plant and/or ready mix <br />concrete plant, and reclamation. <br />(e) Mining has been done on this site since the 1Uinter of 2000. This mining was done under DMG <br />Permit No. 2000-015, which is a 111 permit. There is an estimated 2,000,000 tons of material <br />reserves on this site, and mining will be done on a continuing program every year as the demand <br />warrants. Therefore, an approximate timetable is that as project in the area need materials, mining <br />will occur. <br />
