<br />SUPPLEMENT TO EXHIBIT C - bIINING PLAN <br />This application is for a surface type mining operation <br />for gravel to be used in maintenance of county roads. <br />Exploration in the area shows a gravel depth of approximately <br />ten feet, with very little or no overburden and a layer of <br />topsoil ranging from 4" to 6". <br />The mining operation will consist of removing the <br />topsoil and overburden and stockpiling it in the southeast <br />corner of the pit area which is the highest point and least <br />subject to erosion. The topsoil and overburden removal will <br />be done with a bulldozer and front end loader. <br />The top soil and overburden will only be removed from <br />small areas as needed to accomadate the current need. The <br />actual mining will be done with a front end loader which will <br />take the gravel from the exposed layer and load it into <br />county dump trucks. The trucks will haul directly to the <br />maintenance site. The gravel will not be graded o r washed, <br />but will be used just as it comes from the pit. After being <br />hauled to the maintenance site the gravel will be spread <br />with a vounty maintainer. <br />This pit will probably not be used over two or three <br />times a year add a small area of exposed gravel will furnish <br />enough for use each year. <br />
