5. Exhibit C-4B (Amendment 3): Amendment 2 Detail Mining Plan Map -This map zooms into <br />the specific area of Amendment 2. It provides the information regarding this small area as well as some <br />instructional narrative to aid in the implementation of the plan. This map was not changed in any way, <br />other than [he title, from what was provided in Amendment 2. I[ is provided here again to maintain ease <br />of reference and permit continuity. <br />6. Exhibit C-4C (Amendment 3): Phase 2 Detail Mining Plan -This map has a layout similar to <br />that contained in Exhibit C-4A for Phase 1, but only applies to Phase 2. <br />7. Exhibits C-S (Amendment 3) Soils, C-6 (Amendment 3) Vegetation, and C-7 (Amendment 3) <br />Wetlands -These maps have limited relevance to the actual mining plan, but are important for describing <br />the environmental setting of the site. These maps are most relevant to Exhibits I and J. The only map <br />changed in this series is C-7 which had some minor changes and updating for Phase 2. <br />NOTES REGARDING THIS AMENDED EXHIBIT D: The exhibit as presented here is a complete <br />rewrite of [he previous Exhibit D for Amendments 1 and 2. Because most of the site has either a new plan <br />as a result of changes or being new affected land, it was considered simpler [o rewrite [he entire plan than <br />try to merge this part or that par[ from the old plans into the new plan. However, certain portions of this <br />plan are lifted from the previous plans. Those portions are not specifically identified and are included <br />only by virtue of the fact that those portions do not require changing for the new plan. For the most part, <br />however, this exhibit is entirely new. Previous mining plans for this site should therefore largely be <br />relegated to the history books. The old plans are still important for the permit file, but this plan is the one <br />that will be followed. <br />Nature of the Deposit to be Mined <br />The gravel deposit on this site is moderately uniform in distribution and appears to follow a <br />typical configuration. In general, [he gravel is thicker near the river than it is away from the river. The <br />overburden, as is also fairly common, follows a similar general pattern -thicker away from [he river than <br />near the river. <br />Nearly all of the gravel was deposited by [he Arkansas River. Very little contribution occurred <br />from adjacent lands. Most of that contribution from adjacent lands was not in the form of gravel but fines <br />eroded from the surrounding, gently sloping valley sides that are composed mostly of shale. <br />The gravel deposit, however, does not follow this general pattern consistently at all locations. <br />Several drilling programs have been conducted on this site over [he years and, when taken together, <br />Pueblo East Pit Amendment 3 (2007) Exhibit D Page 9 of 34 <br />
