EXHIBIT D - MIN1NG PLAN <br />Mining will occur as a year-round operation and will begin on the southern end of AREA E and <br />progress in a northerly direction. By beginning mining at the southern end of the parcel, we are <br />better able to make more efficient use of our existing facilities and eliminate the need to <br />construct a separate haul road. In addition, this will help to decrease the total disturbed area on <br />the site. <br />Mining will begin with the stripping of topsoil and overburden from the azea immediately <br />adjacent to AREA D. The topsoiUoverburden stockpiles will be located in the existing mine <br />area. We will extract and crush gravel from an open face, as the product is needed, which is the <br />same method as has been used on the site for mining the other areas. Earth moving equipment, <br />crusher/conveyor equipment, and haul trucks will be used to extract, process, and load the <br />material from AREA E. Material stockpiles will be located in the existing mine area. The <br />impacts from extrarting and processing the gravel from AREA E will not be any greater or more <br />significant than those cunently occurring. Transportation of the material will be through the <br />existing access point at the north end of AREA B along the paved Fairgrounds Road. <br />
