<br />MINING PLAN <br />EXHIBIT C <br />noted above the landowners have used the site for many years <br />removing the soil layer and mining to about 15 feet deep. When <br />mining ends the floor will be leveled and reseeded using the <br />seedmix shown in the soils information on page 5. <br />As noted in the soils and vegetation section there is 8 to <br />12 inches of topsoil on the site. When encountered it will be <br />stripped and stockpiled around the perimeter of the site for use <br />in reclamation. if the soil stockpiles remain undisturbed for <br />more than one growing season a cover crop of Western Wheatgrass <br />will be planted at a rate of 3.0 pls/200 Ft~. <br />The entrance to this site will be from an existing road used <br />for internal access by the landowners. This road is their <br />primary access to the feedlot and southern part of their land and <br />it will remain after mining is complete. This road is not <br />included in the permit because it is an existing road that will <br />remain when reclamation is complete. Periodic grading will be <br />necessary to keep the road in its present condition and to make <br />it passable. <br />On-site equipment may include, but is not limited to, a <br />motor grader, front-end loaders, motor scrapers, a dozer, convey- <br />ors, a screening plant, dump trucks and a water truck. Final <br />processing may be done offsite depending on the need at a partic- <br />ular project site. The material will be excavated with a dozer <br />and placed in stockpiles for loadout using a front end loader, it <br />may then be moved to a conveyer, screened and loaded out or it <br />may just be loaded directly in trucks and hauled to a project <br />site. <br />Little or no water will be used at the site. This material <br />tends to pack down creating a very stable surface that is not <br />susceptible to erosion. If dust control water is use it will be <br />obtained from sources Yuma County has available and approved for <br />that use. <br />9 <br />
