EXHIBIT D IAl -MINING PLAN <br />The following describes information specific to the proposed amended area to be <br />mined. More general information is found in Exhibit D of the original permit <br />application and is referenced herein. <br />(a) The method of mining will be consistent with the current operation. This <br />primarily is with the use of a front-end loader with initial pit run haulage by <br />truck or earthmover to the existing process area. Once an area is mined <br />sufficiently to provide an auxiliary process site, haulage may be <br />eliminated. <br />(b) Topsoil and overburden, to the extent they are present, will be removed <br />with either afront-end loader or earthmover (scraper). <br />(c) Other than stormwater containment, no diversion or impoundment of water <br />is anticipated. <br />(d) It is anticipated that 10 acres or less will be worked at any given time <br />beginning at the north end and progressing south. <br />(e) It is expected that a 10 acre phase will be mined out in 2 to 3 years; the <br />actual mining limits contain approximately 26 acres. Thus mining will take <br />place over 5 to 8 years depending on demand. <br />(f) The nature, depth and thickness are anticipated to be the same as <br />described in the original permit application (Exhibit D). <br />(g) (See Exhibit D orig.) <br />(h) (See Exhibit D orig.) <br />(i) fVo explosives will be used in conjunction with mining. <br /> <br />FEQO~' ; <br />Division of F <br />flAining "~' <br />ar,u ..~. _,~, <br />
