In order to gain an understanding of the extent of the mining operation, it is helpful to know the <br /> acres disturbed by different aspects of the mine. We have selected a point in time where the <br /> mining disturbance could be at its maximum. This occurs during the mining of the southern end <br /> of Phase 2A. Here the dewatering ditch will be at its maximum length along with roads to the <br /> processing area. There will be shoreline under reclamation at the north end. The following acres <br /> of disturbance apply at this time: <br /> Stripped overburden and topsoil in anticipation of mining 3 Acres <br /> Active mining area 6 Acres <br /> Topsoil and overburden stockpiles 2 Acre <br /> Dewatering trench 1 Acre <br /> Roads 1 Acre <br /> Aggregate processing plant 19 Acres <br /> Settling pond 4 Acres <br /> Lakeshore final graded with topsoil 2 Acres <br /> Lakeshore seeded 2 Acres <br /> Total Disturbed Area 40 Acres <br /> There is an overhead powerline which transects Lots B and C south to north and two oil and gas <br /> wells are located in Lot C. Access to each of the towers and wells will be provided. <br /> An easement has been obtained to discharge water from all mining areas into the South Platte <br /> River(see Exhibit Q. <br /> A 404 permit is being applied for due to wetland disturbances in Phase 3. A 404 permit (4 <br /> 199580950) has been obtained for the private lake area and the permit is enclosed. <br /> The sand and gravel deposit varies from 30 to 45 feet deep. The overburden and topsoil vary in <br /> thickness from six inches to six feet. Bedrock under the deposit is sandstone and siltstone. <br /> Sand and gravel is the primary mineral produced. <br /> Principal intended use of the mine products is construction aggregates. These aggregates will be <br /> sold to customers and included in the asphalt and concrete produced on-site. <br /> D-3 <br />
