EXHIBIT C <br /> Alining on the affected land will be conducted as follows: <br /> The topsoil will be removed to a depth of approximately 12" and stockpiled by use of a <br /> dozer or scraper. Next the overburden will be removed in the same manner and <br /> stockpiled separately. After the overburden has been removed the gravel will be dozed <br /> and loaded into a rock crusher with a front end loader. Processed material will be hauled <br /> off site by road trucks. No water will be used in this process except for dust control <br /> Our dust control consists of spray nozzles at the source of dust/main impact areas. Water <br /> for dust control will be stored in a 10,000 gallon steel tank. A 3,000 gallon water truck <br /> will be used to control dust on the haul roads as necessary. <br /> We plan to mine the permitted area starting at the access road near the middle of the <br /> permit area, mining north along the south boundary, then working to the north. At the <br /> same time we possibly will be removing unprocessed material from the east end working <br /> west. This material will be loaded by a front end loader and hauled off by road trucks. <br /> All topsoil will be removed and stockpiled during mining, then replaced after the area has <br /> been mined. We will take approximately 5 years to mine this area. Reclamation should <br /> be completed within 7 years. <br /> During mining we will maintain a 2: 1 slope. Reclamation will be performed in <br /> accordance with the Colorado Reclamation Department guidelines. The soil in this area <br /> is a red clay/sandy material. Basically these soils are deep medium drained soils which <br /> overlay the gravel deposit. The pH in this soil is neutral with no salt present that will <br /> effect plant growth. Depth of the overburden ranges from I' to 10'. The gravel deposit <br /> is approximately 12' deep with a sandstone deposit below <br />
