CAMEO GRAVEL <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />These six parcels have been evaluated together. Four (4) separate mining plans have <br />been laid out, and will be referenced as follows (See Exhibit C) <br />North Area Mine Site (25.9 Ac. affected area) <br />Middle Area Mine Site (42.0 Ac. affected area) <br />South Area Mine Site (4.3 Ac. affected area) <br />West Area Mine Plan (9.34 Ac. affected area) <br />Each area will be mined and reclaimed in Phases. The North, Middle and West Mine <br />Areas contain 31 Phases -containing 2.0-2.5 acres. The South Mine Area contains 4 <br />Phases of 1.0-1.2 acres. The approximate life of each phase will be 2-5 years. <br />North Area Mine Plan: <br />When developed, the North Area will contain the equipment storage area, stock piles, <br />storm water retention and office scales house. The North Area will not be developed <br />until sales volume calls for crushing and screening of the raw material. <br />A shorter haul distance to and from the dispersal point of Interstate I-70 makes the <br />North Area more desirable for large sales volumes. A minimum of 30 foot set-backs <br />from the property lines and adequate set-backs from the steep bluffs along I-70 will be <br />maintained. <br />The mine plan anticipates removal of the construction materials down to the sandstone <br />cap of the Mesa Verde formation identified in the Geologic report. Top Soil and <br />unmarketable material will be laid back over the disturbed areas and re-seeded with the <br />exception of the 2.0± acre stock pile, storage and sales office areas (See exhibit). <br />The existing haul road between the North Area and I-70 frontage road will be improved <br />and dust controlled (watered) as needed. Recent construction of the 48 inch Ute Water <br />pipeline has utilized the haul roads connecting the three areas. <br />Middle Area Mine Plan: <br />The Middle Area Excavation Mine Plan calls for removal of the construction materials <br />within the thirty (30) foot setbacks from the property lines outside utility line easements <br />down to the depth of the Mesa Verde sandstone cap. Clean-up of surface deposits is <br />proposed only for the slopes of the 13.84 acre parcel North of Ute Water Plant. The <br />haul road from the South area to the Middle area traverses this 13.84 acre parcel. <br />Until crushing begins, the existing gravel pit (Western Slope Flagstone Quany No. 2), <br />located within the Middle Area Mine Plan, will contain the excavation and screening <br />equipment, stockpiles and scales yard. <br />6 <br />
