' EXHIBIT D — MINING PLAN <br /> Overview <br /> The applicant proposes to develop the site north of the Arkansas River (North <br /> Mining Area) for sand and gravel mining and processing and batching of asphalt. <br /> ' This area will disturb approximately 143 acres, including topsoil stockpile areas. <br /> ' South of the river, a smaller area (South Borrow Pit Area) will be utilized as a <br /> ' borrow pit site encompassing approximately 30 acres, including an overburden <br /> storage berm. The South Borrow Pit Area also includes approximately 12 acres V1 Of <br /> ' of ground previously disturbed (overburden removal and excavation) by a former <br /> owner. A total of approximately 173 acres of the total 275.45 acres of the permit <br /> area will be disturbed (see Exhibit C). <br /> ' Mine Plan <br /> The area north of the Arkansas River (North Mining Area) will be mined in five <br /> Phases encompassing a total of approximately 142 acres. The Phases range in <br /> size from 16 acres to 49 acres and are based on convenient and logical property <br /> boundaries, as all mining Phases will ultimately mine-out a single, homogenous <br /> excavation area resulting in a 142-acre lake (see Exhibit C and F). Mining in the <br /> ' North Mining Area will disturb less than two acres per year, with approximately <br /> ' three to five acres of total disturbance at any given time, as the total anticipated <br /> utilization of aggregate will entail only 50,000 tons per year. Reclamation__ will be - <br /> ' concurrent with mining. <br />
