MINING PLAN <br />will be by means of technical revisions. Similarly, bonded land will be released as the reclamation is <br />completed. <br />REQUIREMENT: No land outside the bonded boundary may be disturbed without <br />f-rst bonding that land. Requests for additional bonding land will be made a minimum of 30 to <br />60 days prior to the time it is needed to provide for sufficient processing and review time. <br />But there is an additional complicating factor that must be considered in this bonded area. The <br />lease requires that no more than 150 acres of mining activity be disturbed at any one time. This 150 <br />acres does not include access roads or land that has been final graded AND placed in final <br />revegetation status with seeding. Therefore, this leased acreage limitation applies only to processing <br />facilities, actual mining pits, and disturbances associated with the mining pits. However, bonding <br />must include all affected ]and. Therefore, the bonded land maybe considerably larger than the 150 <br />acre limitation land. But there must be compliance with both limitations. <br />REQUIREMENT: The bonded land may exceed the 150 acre value in the lease, but in <br />no case will the land defined as being in the 150 acre lease limitation exceed 150 acres. <br />An Example of how to account for both limitations: <br />Example of Disturbance Category Calculations <br /> Description of Land Category acres <br />Line 1 Total amount of land bonded (Bonded Boundary) 280 <br />Line 2 Land area actually disturbed in Bonded Boundary 250 <br />Line 3 Land bonded but undisturbed (Line 1 minus Line 2) 30 <br />Line 4 Bonded land contained in roads 75 <br />Line 5 Bonded land seeded but not released from bond 55 <br />Line 6 Total excluded land (Line 4 plus Line 5) 130 <br />Line 7 Total land allowed in Land Board disturbance category <br />(this is a fixed value) 150 <br />Line 8 Additional disturbance allowed in Land Board <br />disturbance limitation (Line 7 minus Line 6) 20 <br />Line 9 Enter the smaller of Line 3 or Line 8 20 <br />Coal Creek Sand Resource Amendment 3 (2005) - M-1988-044 Exhibit D Page 13 <br />
