EXHIBIT D -Mining Plan <br />a) This pit is being converted from a 110 operation (originally known as the <br />Krehmeyer Pit, M-2005-070) to a 112 operafion. Thus, mining has already <br />occurred in the origina19.9 acre portion of the pit. This will now be known as <br />Tract 1. Once the original area is completed, there aze essentially two additional <br />phases for this mining area. Tract 21ies immediately to the north of the original <br />pemut. Tract 3 lies east of Tracts 1 and 2. The mining will essentially be <br />divided into three areas. Each area will be re-sloped and prepazed for <br />reclamation before a new azea is opened. The mining is expected to begin as <br />soon as possible after a permit is obtained. The operation will provide material <br />for use in construction and/or road building. The estimated life of the pit is <br />indefinite. <br />b) There was no topsoil for a large portion of Tract 1. There is topsoil in Tract 2 <br />and in Tract 3. That area encompassed by Sandy Creek is an intermittent <br />waterway, which is typically dry except when heavy rainfall occurs. There is <br />topsoil of approximately 5" in depth on those azeas lying outside the creek. <br />Those areas having topsoil will be stripped, stockpiled, and utilized when the pit <br />is reclaimed. There will be a topsoil stockpile site in each of the three Tracts, as <br />needed, keeping the material close by so that reclamation moves more quickly. <br />c) There would appear to be no waste rock or material at the site. <br />d} Mining is anticipated to a maximum depth of 15 feet. The mining plan varies <br />slightly for each area, depending upon topography and availability of material. <br />Tract #1 is being mined beginning at the west end and proceeding east. <br />Tract #2 will be mined beginning at the north edge of Tract 1 and proceed north. <br />Tract #3 will be mined beginning at the west side of the azea shown and moving <br />east. <br />e) There is an existing haul road shazed with the landowner and gravel pit operator <br />immediately to the west. It exits onto Co. Rd. 16. There will probably be a haul <br />road from Tract #3 onto Co. Rd. 11. These temporary haul roads will be <br />reclaimed as the pit is closed. There will be no shop, plant, or other facilities <br />located at the mine site. The equipment used to mine the gravel will be <br />primarily afront-end loader and trucks. At some point during the operation a <br />bulldozer and a scraper may be employed. Some screening could occur at the <br />site. All of the equipment will be serviced off premises. <br />~ Since mining has been occurring in Tract #1 under the 110 permit, a disturbance <br />does exist. <br />
