CO 81401 <br />970-249-3061 <br />EXFIIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />~~~. i <br />Receives <br />S'EP 1 12000 <br />Diy~D~ ~Mnaf~s$Gep <br />~9Y <br />The topsoil varies from nothing [o a depth of two feet m the deepest azeas. The natwal <br />slope is to the Northeast. The slopes into the two gulches have no topsoil !A remove, extending <br />back into the flat azea on top of the mesa. The topsoll needed fora 3 to 1 slope will be <br />stockpied in area needed and maybe some can be hauled and dumped over the side and spread <br />with crawler when removed. Removed, hauled and located with a loader. The remainder of <br />topsoll will be hauled down to the pit [loor with a carryall to the east side of mined area. The <br />woody debris wlll be removed and placed inside the east boundary. The boundary Imes are <br />straight and the deposit is not, leaving ample room for the small amount of debris. Any <br />unseilable material can be used to anchor debris. The overbwden that Ls not topsoll can be <br />blended with the pit run sold form the top half of the the deposit and used as a binder. The <br />lower portion has more and larger rock which fs better for crushing. Sometimes 1 have blended <br />subsoll into Class 6 for special applications. Up to this point I have accumulated no excess <br />subsoil and expect none. <br />The dUectlon of mining shall be from south to Northwest. Processed stockpiles w1ll be <br />mostly where processing takes place on the pit floor where the wind is less. The gradients you <br />asked for, can only be what the mazket calls for and is contained in the deposit. Sand <br />graduated up to pit run. The two gulches that extend into DS&G, have nothing to mine 1n <br />ahem. This subtracts fmm surface area. Past use of these gulches has always been iirigatlon <br />seepage and waste water run ott from farmland to the south that is now DS~G gravel pit. As <br />their milling progresses to the west, waste water will stop and lrrlgalton seepage will be less. No <br />farming means no waste water. However, any drainage will be directed to the same discharge <br />points. These points are already stable with vegetation that has been established in the past. <br />The agreement with DS&G is to mine ridge between two gravel pits. I expect to progress as per <br />agreement. Comments made to me by the help working there, ind[cates they have been alerted. <br />The slopes when approaching the fence need to be made safe, but small enough so the removal <br />of the remaining deposit does not interrupt the placement of the fence for too long a period. <br />Grading of pit floor wW be done for rangeland. Any future use other than rangeland. <br />would need to be determined after reclamatlon is approved and released. Anew county Master <br />Plan is on the table. Also the uncertainty of development and taxes may alter intent. The <br />
