CAMEO GRAVEL <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />5.) SITE ACCESS: <br />Private access to the sites via Rapid Creek Road will be allowed to operator or <br />employees. However, Cameo Gravel Pit commercial traffic will use I-70 access road in <br />order to prevent traffic hazards and to minimize traffic congestion along Rapid Creek <br />Road. <br />The site will be accessed from I-70 interchange via Gay Johnson's Truck Stop which is <br />open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The adjacent Cameo Steam Plant and Ute Water <br />Filter Plant operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Powderhorn Coal Mine, although <br />now closed, previously operated 24 hours a day. <br />Site design utilizes the close proximity of a I-70 frontage road now used primarily for <br />commercial purposes and will have no impact on residential areas. Traffic to and from <br />the site will use the existing haul road from the I-70 frontage road for a distance of 4000 <br />feet. The traffic generated will be directly related to the demand for material and is <br />estimated not to exceed 150 loads per day. <br />6.) MINE PLAN: <br />The conversion to a (112) permit operation will consist of 3 parcels of land, which <br />contain 141.92 acres of land. <br />All the parcels contain commercially viable alluvial deposits of basalt material <br />originating from the slopes of Grand Mesa East of Rapid Creek drainage basin. <br />Each parcel has been evaluated for economical potential and estimates have been <br />made of mineable quantities by Barnes Geologic Consulting, Inc. (See enclosed <br />reports): <br />Parcel 1 -Tax Parcel 2709-344-00-070 contains 129.2 acres. <br />Parcet 2 -Tax Parce12709-353-00-067 contains 10.67 acres. <br />Parcel 3 -Tax Parcel 2937-021-00-102 contains 2.0 acres. <br />Two (2) separate mining plans have been laid out (See Exhibit C). The North mine <br />area is contained within the North half of Parcel 1. The Middle mine area is contained <br />within the South half of Parcel 1 and all of Parcels 2 and 3. Undisturbed land owned by <br />the applicant which contains a 100 foot right-of-way for the 114 KV Public Service <br />Company (X-cel Energy) transmission line is the only basis for separation of the North <br />and Middle mine areas. Continuous undisturbed property owned by the applicant <br />connects the North and Middle mine areas. <br />2 <br />
