UPLAND GRAVEL <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />Processing will be through a crusher and/or power screen. 2000 to 6000 gallons of <br />water will be used daily during crushing and will be supplied by Ute Water or pumped <br />from the storage pond. <br />Portable sanitary facilities shall be maintained on the site as needed for operations. <br />Air Pollution Control Permit No. 01 ME0871 F & Crusher Permit No. 02PO0085 are <br />currently in place. <br />8.) PROJECTED NEED: <br />The grading of the gravel in these deposits from the samples taken by Lincoln Devore <br />indicated that 100% of the sample passed a 4" screen and only 43% was smaller than <br />'/z' which is ideal for pit run road base material. It is anticipated that 100% of the <br />material excavated will be used and removed with no waste or over burden storage <br />needed. Crushing of the material for finer grades of road base will be necessary. It is <br />estimated that 15,000 to 30,000 ton of cobbles and pit run material and 15,000 to <br />40,000 ton of crushed material will be needed annually to meet the demand of the <br />community. <br />No incidental products are expected to be extracted by this operation. <br />9.) FUTURE LAND USE: <br />No toxic materials or refuse are known to exist on the site. <br />Various amounts of gravel not in sufficient quantity to be mined are scattered and mixed <br />with the overlying and underlying soils of the surrounding area. Mineable amounts of <br />gravel lie to the Northwest of the proposed gravel extraction site, but are currently <br />occupied by an existing residence. The land occupied by the site is proposed to <br />become part of Lots 7, 8 and 9 of Upland Estates AFT Subdivision. <br />The hydro logic balance will be improved as mining progresses because of the flattening <br />of the existing steep slopes to the maximum of 4-6 percent to match the Mancos Shale <br />contact line. <br />70.) TRANSPORTATION: <br />Tandem axle dump trucks with approximately 16 ton capacity are being used for <br />transportation to market. Private pick-ups and tractor-trailer trucks are also being used. <br />Hours of operation are 7 A.M. to 6 P.M., 6 days a week (Mon. thru Sat.). <br />Traffic generated by the operation is estimated to average 16 loads per day to remove <br />70,000 ton annually. A maximum of 50 loads per day is estimated during peak demand. <br />-4- <br />
