will combine and will continue mining the remaining Phases. The production from each of the <br />initial two mining Stages is expected to account for half of the overall production from the mine. <br />The first stage will mine Phases Al through A4 sequentially from the north to the south starting on <br />the northern portion of the La Salle Aggregate Reserves' western property (formerly the George <br />Property) and will require approximately 19.8 years to mine. The second stage will begin at the old <br />Metcalf Pit and will mine Phases B1 through B4 by first mining south through Phases B1 and B2 <br />and then mining west through Phases B3 and B4. Stage B will take approximately the same amount <br />of time to mine as Stage A, and both will be mined concurrently. The Phases in both Stages A and <br />B have been scheduled such that Phase Al will terminate at roughly the same point in time as Phase <br />B1 and likewise for the remaining Phases in Stages A and B. <br />As seen on Map C-2, there aze two houses in Phase B 1 which will need to be removed prior to <br />mining of the area. Removal of the two houses will take place near the beginning of the operation in <br />enough time that the removal does not interfere with the mining operations. The operator and owner <br />wish to reserve the right to optionally leave the area where the houses are located to be mined at the <br />end of the mining operations. If the operator chooses to go with this option, this will be detailed in <br />the annual report which will be submitted to the Division. <br />During the mining of Phases A4 and B4, Phase 5 will be stripped of topsoil and prepared for <br />mining. In preparation for mining of Phase 5, the house on the George property as well as several <br />other farm related buildings in the general vicinity of the house will have to be removed. As with <br />the houses in Phase B 1, the operator and owner reserve the right to optionally leave the area where <br />the house and buildings are located to be mined at the end of the mining operation. If this option is <br />chosen, this will also be detailed in the annual report to the Division. <br />At the conclusion of Stages A and B, production will be combined for Stage C. Stage C mining will <br />progress through the remaining mining Phases 5 through 13 sequentially. The last step in mining the <br />property will come in mining Phases 12 and 13. Phases 12 and 13 consist of removing the natural <br />berm on the eastern portion of the permit area. Phase 12 will be remove the natural berm on the <br />southeast portion of the permit area and will be daylighted into Mexican Gulch in order to allow the <br />reclaimed pit to drain to the natwal slope and ultimately to the Uncompahgre River. Phase 13 will <br />Haldorson Sand and Gravel Mine <br />
