EXHIBIT C and D <br />MINING PLAN <br />(a) Mining of the gravel is scheduled to commence approximately December <br />19, 2001 and end approximately December 19, 2012. The sand and gravel <br />will be used on county roads. <br />(b) Topsoil depth is approximately 4 inches. The topsoil will be stripped and <br />stockpiled from the active mining area. Sloping of this stockpile will be no <br />steeper than 3H: 1V and the slopes will be mulched with straw to prevent <br />wind or water erosion. Operator will also seed the stockpiles with a suitable <br />cover crop to minimize weed production and wind erosion. <br />(c) The overburden will be separately stockpiled in the above manner (b) <br />(d) The thickness of the deposit ranges from 8 to 14 feet. Average thickness is <br />10 feet. <br />(e) There will be no structures erected. The gravel will be loaded directly onto <br />County trucks for use on county roads. <br />(f) The pit will be operated as an open pit and mined from west to east, as <br />gravel is needed in the area for roads. As mining in the pit progresses, the <br />topsoil will be stockpiled. There will be no improvements and material <br />stockpile dimensions will be determined to facilitate 3H: 1 V slope. <br />(g) The access road approximately 20 feet wide has been constructed to <br />facilitate ingress and egress to the pit area. It may need periodic grading to <br />accommodate heavy truck traffic. There will be a buffer between the mined <br />areas and the existing fences. <br />(h) There will be no water used in conjunction with the mining operation. <br />(i) The pit will not intercept any groundwater. Ponding of water may occur after <br />a significant rain but will not remain long, due to the absorption rate of the <br />soil. Interception of surface drainage will not occur. No detrimental effects of <br />water quality are anticipated. <br />(j) Not applicable. <br />(k) No refuse, acid ortoxic-producing materials will be exposed. <br />
