• s <br />EXHIBIT D - M1NI:tI,G PLAN <br />112 AMENUMEN'C APPLICATION - VERHOEFF P1T lf2 <br />The only amendment to the application and the mining plan <br />is to change the acreage to read the correct number of acreage to be <br />permitted. <br />"r fie mining operation will encompass approximately all of the <br />3h.98 acres as outlined in the mining map. Haul roads, access roads <br />and screening area are already present at this site. Topsoil and <br />Overburden stockpiles are segregated in separate piles in the south <br />portion of the mine site. <br />Alining will be accomplished with a D-9 Caterpillar Dozer and A <br />Clark Michigan Scraper. John Deere model 844 Loader will be used to <br />move the material in the mine area and to load it out on trucks. <br />Screening equipment and conveyors, along with support vehicles will be <br />the only other eyuipment on site. <br />The gravel and rock will be screened on site. No water will be <br />used in the processing on site. Material will be transported away <br />from the site by trucks. <br />Earthmoving will be done with a dozer, scraper and loaders in the <br />mine area and transported out on trucks. <br />A11 mining will be done above ground water table and floodplain, <br />so no water resources will be affected by the operation. Surface <br />runoff will be almost nonexistent in this area due to the permeability <br />of the soil and the topography and layout of the mine site. <br />Mining commenced on or about December 10, 1992 under the current <br />permit. It is anticipated that mining will be complete no later than <br />December of 1997. The topsoil material will be salvaged to a depth of <br />at least 4 to 6 inches and more, if found in pockets of deposits <br />typical for this area. The topsoil will be stockpiled in an orderly <br />berm suitable for seeding in the event it is to remain in storage <br />beyond one growing season. There will be no additional overburden or <br />waste rock at the site. The topsoil layer is very thin in many areas <br />on the site with gravel exposed on the surface. Mining will be from <br />6' to l'L' iri depth, which also the depth of the deposit. <br />
