n <br />U <br />• EXHIBIT D <br />IdIPdING PLAN <br />~, <br />The proposed mining plan is a continuation of the <br />Bettger Sand and Gravel operation conducted in this area <br />since 1970. As in the past the mining will be conducted <br />by the two Bettger brothers using dozers and front-end <br />loaders to move all material. It is anticipated that <br />the area will be mined as shown in Exhibit C, in five <br />phases over the next ten years. <br />Work in the Phase I area will commence in the <br />Spring of this year with the removal and storage of <br />• the topsoil. Based on Soil Conservation Service report <br />(Exhibit I) an average of eight inches of topsoil <br />should be found throughout the area. This material will <br />be stored along the north boundary of the permit area <br />protected from contamination by its location. Should <br />the topsoil stockpiles remain for more than one year, a <br />quick-growing cover crop will be planted to minimize <br />erosion. ~ U'~ ~^^~ <br />Overburden lying between the topsoil and the market- <br />able sand and gravel will be used to assist the back- <br />filling operation in Area B of previously permitted <br />operation. <br />Each of the remaining phases will be approached in <br />• a similar manner with the topsoil removed and salvaged <br />
