<br />I5. 6.3.3 EXHIBIT C -MINING PLAN <br />This section presents the mining plan for Glacier Peak Mining on 17 proposed sites <br />totaling up to a maximum of 9.96 acres to be excavated or disturbed between 2006 and <br />2018. Approximately 1/3 of an acre will be excavated per season plus some additional <br />prospects or previous excavations to where up to 1/2 an acre may be disturbed in any <br />given year. Additionally, approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of an acre will be reclaimed per <br />season. Usually one site, approximately 1/4 of an acre will remain open for a season to <br />complete mineral extraction while a second site is being excavated. Additional <br />disturbance addressed in this plan is that caused by the footprint of the equipment and <br />topsoil storage piles where needed. <br />Note: This application is for slightly less than 10 acres which is allowed under the <br />Limited Impact Operation (110(2)) reclamation permit. Based on experience from 2003 <br />through 2005 almost none of these sites will be disturbed up to the maximum area. Most <br />will actually be disturbed less than 60 percent. (Reports for this operation show 0.9 acres <br />have been reclaimed since 2003 and at present, no excavations are open.) The <br />application for full, possible acreage precludes going through the permitting process all <br />over again and allows the operator to excavate leads found during operations. <br />Final reclamation is planned for fall of 2018. Additional maintenance of reclamation <br />may continue past this date. <br />6.3.3 (~(al Proposed excavation and reclamation schedule: (Reference Exhibit E for <br />the specific site locations). <br />This schedule is tentative. This represents the general pattern of planned operations. <br />Actual sites may vary from season to season depending on the availability of specific <br />mining equipment and types of rock structures encountered. For example, in order to <br />avoid blasting, a larger track hoe will be used on certain structures. When those <br />structures are encountered, they will be excavated during the same season at several sites. <br />GENERAL SCHEDULE OF OPERATIONS GLACIER PEAK MINING <br /> Excavation Reclamation <br />Year Claim Site Approx. <br />acrea a Site Approx. <br />Acrea e <br />2006 Smoky Hawk <br />Elk Horn B 0.25 B 0.25 <br /> Smo Hawk C 0.1 <br /> Wolf Fan O 0.05 <br /> <br />2007 Smo Hawk A 0.1 B Finished <br /> Smok Do C 0.1 A 0.1 <br /> Wolf Fan O 0.1 C 0.1 <br /> Wolf Fan P 0.05 <br />
