Klassen Pit 35-6-48 <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C -MINING PLAN <br />The date of commencement shall be from August 15~, 2006 until approximately July <br />30w, 2025. <br />b. Where topsoil is removable (adequate thickness for removing topsoil) it will be <br />scraped off and placed on areas in the pit where mining operations have ceased and <br />need to be reclaimed. When topsoil will not be utilized immediately for reclamation, <br />it will be stockpiled for later use for reclamation. The balance of the reclamation will <br />be implemented at the conclusion of the mining activities, following the original <br />application recommendation of the Soil Conservation District. <br />c. If overburden is to be removed to reach the gravel deposit, up to 1 foot will be <br />removed, segregated from the topsoil and salvaged. <br />d. The depth of the mining operation will be between 20 and 30 feet, with an average of <br />20 feet. <br />e. The proposed road to be used for the mining operation is south west of the pit area, <br />heading southeast from CR 23, it is approximately 200 feet long and 60 feet wide. <br />f. There are no other significant disturbances to the land surtace other than the <br />previous and proposed mining operations to be conducted. The area to be disturbed <br />will be no more than '/z an acre at a time. <br />The haul road will be reclaimed upon completion of mining activities with the same <br />type of reclamation plan on the areas that have been mined. There are no known <br />associated drainage and runoff conveyance structures that would be necessary for <br />this mining operation. <br />h. Water is not used in conjunction with this operation. <br />Groundwater will not be encountered, nor will surtace water be intercepted or <br />disturbed. <br />The nature of this operation will preclude the necessity of encountering conflict with <br />Colorado water laws and regulations. <br />k. There is no reason to believe that refuse and acid or toxic producing materials will <br />be exposed in this operation; however, if this does occur, the landfill supervisor will <br />be contacted and the proper procedures will be implemented through the guidance <br />and recommendation of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment <br />- Hazmat Division. <br />Since the gravel mined will be utilized "as is" for county road maintenance, there will <br />be no additional processing. This operation will be strictly for digging for sand and <br />gravel with no other secondary, or incidental use. <br />
