MINING PLAN <br />EXHIBIT D <br />In phase 1 of the gravel operation Bumgardner Ranch Gravel Pit has <br />been in operation from 1981 in phase 2,3 and 4of the gravel operation we <br />plan to mine for 30 years. <br />Topsoil will continue to be stripped 4" - 6" and stockpiled on the <br />North and South side of the pit to use for reclamation. The stockpiles will <br />be seeded to prevent erosion as described in Soil Conservation Report. <br />The removal of gravel from the permitted area will begin in phase 2 at <br />the West end and move to the East into the other phases as time goes on. <br />Reclamation will follow closely behind the different phases as recommended <br />in the Soil Conservation Service Report. <br />Approximately 15' of material will be removed from this dry alluvial <br />gravel deposit and then sloped back and covered with topsoil as <br />recommended by the Soil Conservation Service Report. <br />Equipment in the permitted area will be crushers, conveyers and <br />screens. Some equipment will be moved in and out of pit as the working <br />season begins and ends. <br />Front end loaders and cats will be used to handle the material as it is <br />processed and hauled away. Approximately 10,000-30,000 tons of material <br />will be removed each year depending on the demand. <br />Overburden if encountered will be placed directly on the North or <br />South slope where the gravel has already been removed to start the 3 to 1 <br />slopes. Stockpiles of finished products will consist of 2-3 piles each pile <br />taking up 4500 square feet. <br />There is an existing road to and thru the pit as this will be the only <br />road necessary for the gravel pit operation. <br />
