6.4.4. Exhibit D -Mining Plan <br />2. Cells 6&7 (Storage Pond 2) has a total of 38401ineal feet to be lined at an average <br />depth of 18 feet. To date, 2200 feet of compacted liner has been installed in accordance <br />with the E.E.C. design (Exhibit G), 1200 feet has been sloped to the 3:1 slope, and the <br />area north of the cell has been reclaimed and seeded. The quantities we used for our <br />reclamation cost estimate were for the entire 3840 lineal feet of liner, sloping, and topsoil <br />as required by the DMG's 100 percent performance guazantee option for lining Ponds. <br />6.4.5. Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />3. As discussed with Erica Crosby on 10/09/02, Loveland Ready Mix is considering <br />a plan to reclaim the Siltation Ponds 5 & 6 on the south of the river to wetlands. This <br />concept planning is in the preliminary stages and we have not determined the feasibility <br />of a wetlands plan at this time. Our current reclamation plan for these Ponds is to <br />partially fill them with washed fines, finish grade the area, and seed it. Because the <br />washed fines are an excellent growth medium for gasses we will not topsoil this area but <br />rather just grade it and seed it as reflected in our reclamation cost estimate. When the <br />mining operation is completed, Pond 3 on the south side of the river will remain as it is <br />today - a three-acre reclaimed fresh water Pond, silt Pond 4 has already been completely <br />reclaimed and seeded, silt Pond 5 will be filled except fora 2t acre Pond and reclaimed <br />and silt Pond 6 will be filled except for a one (lt) acre Pond and reclaimed. <br />In the future, if we determine it is feasible to reclaim silt Ponds 5 and 6 into a wetlands <br />area, we will submit another amendment or technical revision to our permit. <br />4. The remaining Ponds referenced in the inspection report of 10/09/02 have all been <br />reclaimed and will remain as open water Ponds except for the waste area shown on the <br />Mining Plan Map. This waste azea was a 10-acre cell of which 8 acres has been filled <br />with 2 acres remain to be filled. (See Paragraph 7 below) Existing Pond 2 is shown on <br />the Map as a future silt area and future inert fill area. This is an 18-acre Pond that will be <br />partially filled to a Pond area between 10 acres to 16 acres. Pond 2 has been reclaimed at <br />this time. Areas of Pond 2 that are filled will be graded, topsoiled, and seeded. <br />5. Cell 9 will be filled with overburden and reclaimed concurrently with the mining <br />process. A maximum of 35,000 c.y. of overburden will be stockpiled at any one time. <br />After approximately 3 to 4 acres of cell 9 have been mined, the stockpiled overburden <br />and newly stripped overburden will be placed back into the excavated area. Overburden <br />from ce118 will be placed back into ce119 when it is stripped. <br />6. As discussed above, we still plan to reclaim silt Ponds 5 and 6 by filling and re- <br />vegitating with a grass seed mix. We reclaim the Ponds by filling bermed areas with silt, <br />allowing them to dry naturally, then re-grading and reseeding the area. Pond 3 is a 3t <br />acre fresh water Pond that has been reclaimed but may require additional seeding. Pond <br />4 was approximately 4t acres and has been completely reclaimed. Pond 5 was originally <br />a 9t acre Pond that has been partially filled with silt. Approximately 7t acres of Pond 5 <br />
