EXHIBIT D <br />'.i' '.MINING ~: ELAN <br />The Conejos County Road and Bridge Department is planning an expansion of an existing Gravel <br />Pit as a Primary source of Gravel on the South east side of the County. Mining will continue <br />from where it starts in the northeast half or the permit area and continue going west and to tl <br />south boundary. Depth of Gravel extends to approximately twenty (20) feet throughout-.:the <br />allotted.parcel. Pit run from gravel will last approximately Forty (40) Yr based on new <br />expansion and estimated annual usage. It is estimated the active mining will take place about <br />180 days per year. <br />Top soil (what exists) will be removed and stockpiled prior to surface disturbance. Top soil <br />will be stored on 100 foot strips of permit area. Top soil will be used for reclamation. <br />Top soil stockpiles will not exceed a height of 10 to 12 feet to lessen their visual impact. <br />Operations will be conducted with a rubber tire loader that will be used year round to <br />stockpile and load material. <br />Loader outloading will be (8) yard single axle dump trucks and (16) yard dual axle dump trucks. <br />During operation,the pit sides will be back sloped to aid in safety and facilitate. <br />reclamation. No water diversion or inpoundment will be necessary a total of 50 acres will be <br />ultimately disturbed by mining activities. <br /> <br />JAN 2 ? 2007 <br />D ~f°'o~ of C~ , ! ~~ a ~}ipn <br />M..iin~ a7id :.u,..~~ <br />
