ao <br /> its f�i> Nicolas P* <br /> eceived <br /> EXHIBIT C JAN 2 4 2gol <br /> Mining Plan <br /> ,on OfUo lel <br /> The pit operation will be an open pit mine for the extraction, crushing 072"re/sa G'ce <br /> storage of various sizes of aggregate which will be used on Gunnison County roads <br /> in the vicinity. Gunnison County equipment which may be used during operations <br /> include a dozer, loader, tandem trucks, and tractor trailer combination units. <br /> Item a - The mining in this pit will change in procedure after the Amendment <br /> applied for is approved. Gunnison County is projecting this proposed <br /> Amendment will add at least ten (10) years to the life of the pit. <br /> Item b - Test excavations in the proposed pit area indicated very little good topsoil <br /> or overburden. The top one to two feet is very contaminated with sawmill <br /> debris and natural rock. However, it may vary some on the entire site. <br /> Approximately one-foot average depth will be salvaged and stockpiled to <br /> be used for reclamation purposes. If areas of greater depth of suitable <br /> soils are encountered they will be saved. <br /> Item c - More oversized rock than anticipated has been encountered. We wil'. <br /> either use this rock on road projects or bury the rock before closure an` <br /> reclamation. <br /> Item d - The south end of the pit will be excavated 15-20 feet deep and the north <br /> end 20-30 feet deep. <br /> Item e - The primary access to the pit area will be via Gunnison County Roac: <br /> #864. A twelve (12) foot access road will be developed into the pit site. <br /> Native materials will be used for construction, and it will be graveled with <br /> 3/4" Class 6. <br /> No building will be constructed for this operation. Gunnison County has <br /> a crusher operation under contract and they will move onto the site every <br /> year or every other year as needed to crush the material. It is estimated <br /> that they will be on site no more than one month per year. <br /> Item f - The area amended in 1996 will not be disturbed. The areas that will <br /> change with this amendment will be disturbed and mined. The total <br /> approximate are to be disturbed is 7.07 acres. <br />
