<br />The pit will continue to operate annually. The supply is undetermined, but is <br />expected to last indefinitely because of the limited usage of the pit. Mining will begin as <br />soon as all the proper permits aze obtained. <br />The equipment to be used in the pit area will be a dozer, front end loader, and <br />trucks. All equipment maintenance will be done at the Fryreaz farmstead and not at the pit <br />site. <br />Water Resources - <br />The pit site does have a local, intermittent drainageway flow through it. . <br />However, this drainage is only local in nature and does not serve as a <br />tributary to any creek, river, or stream. During periods of heavy rainfall, <br />there will be intermittent flow from north to south through the pit area <br />Typically that flow moves on through the site fairly quickly. The <br />excavation will encounter no groundwater. No existing water rights will be <br />injured. <br />EXHIBIT D -Reclamation Plan <br />The Fryrears plan to create an azea for wildlife habitat when the pit area is finally <br />closed. The habitat azea would include shelter, food, and water. The desired reclamation <br />plan is to create an azea where intermittent drainage flow could be collected into a pond. <br />Side slopes will be left no steeper than 3:1. Vegetation will be established on the side <br />slopes down to the proposed water line for the pond. The Yuma County Natural <br />Resource Conservation Service has provided recommendations for top soil replacement, <br />cover mulch, and seeding recommendations. Their recommendation is attached. <br />Stockpiled topsail will be seeded to prevent wind erosion. <br />The Fryreazs have already established plum thickets and plantings of cedars on <br />immediately an adjoining CRP strip. In addition to the grasses re-established on the <br />slopes, more plum thickets and cedars may be placed around the perimeter of the <br />completed excavation. <br />EXHIBIT E -Mans <br />Location Map <br />USGS Quad Map <br />Site Map <br />Mining Plan Map <br />Reclamation Plan Map <br />
