EXHIBIT D: Mining Plan <br />Mining will occur as a year-round operation and will begin on the western end of AREA D and <br />progress in an easterly direction. By beginning mining at the western end of the parcel, we are <br />better able to make more efficient use of our existing facilities and eliminate the need to <br />constmct a separate haul road. In addition, this will.ltelp to decrease the total disturbed-area-on -- <br />the site. <br />Mining will begin with the stripping of topsoil and overburden from the area immediately <br />adjacent to AREA B. The topsoiUoverburden stockpiles will be located at the top of the slope on <br />the northern edge of AREA D. We will extract and crash gravel from an open face, as the <br />product is needed, which is the same method as has been used on the site for mining the other <br />areas. Earth moving equipment, crosherJconveyorequiprnent, and haul tracks will be used to <br />extract, process, and load the material from AREA D. Material stockpiles will be located in the <br />existing mine area. The impacts from extracting and processing the gravel from AREA D will <br />not be any greater or more significant than those currently occurring. Transportation of the <br />material will be through the existing access point at the north end of AREA B along the paved <br />Fairgrounds Road. <br />
