~ J <br />' ' • <br />p <br />EXHIBIT D - MINING PLAN ~ I~ / ~ o <br />A. The Logan ~Aash Oil Shale Mine is a modified in-situ oil shale <br />operation. Standard mining methods are used to excavate adits <br />and raises for access in the construction of underground rooms. <br />The room sizes are calculated to provide the necessary void <br />space to create a chimney of oil shale when the oil shale <br />above each room is blasted with conventional explosives. A <br />flame front is established at the top of the chimney or retort <br />which causes the oil to flow to the bottom of the retor*_ where <br />it is pumped out to an oil/water separator (heater-treater <br />plant) for preparation for shipping. <br />Surface disburbances related to these activities include: <br />Area ~ Name and Location Acreage <br /> <br />1.
