3. In the 1985 amendment, the plan for the northwest corner of the eastern phases (also <br />defined as the southeast corner of Drennan Road and Academy Boulevard) was to conduct mining in <br />that area and then partially backiill the mined pit with wash fines. This part of the 1985 amended <br />• plan has been deleted. The land will not be mined north of the new ditch alignment. All previous <br />disturbances in this area will be reclaimed so the land can be returned to its original grade. <br />Therefore, that portion of the northwest corner of the eastern phases which is north of the ditch slope <br />is included in the permit for reclamation purposes only and will not be mined. <br />4. The large "island" tract (now included in Phases lE -south and 2E in this amendment) <br />has been added through acquisition of the property. <br />5. A parcel of land in the southern portions of Phase 2W has been removed from the permit <br />as a result of the sale of that land to another party. Development of that land by the new owners for <br />industrial purposes has been completed. No mining or mining related activity took place on that <br />land after it was permitted. <br />General Sequencing <br />At the end of this ezhibit are a series of computer generated diagrams that show the <br />anticipated pattern of development of this operation. Each map is keyed to a particular stage in the <br />operation. At the top of each map is an indication of the approximate time in years until that stage <br />• of development is reached. The number of years is basically a guess, as this period is market <br />dependent. <br />These diagrams provide an overall picture of how each area in the permit will fit into the <br />total picture and how the phases relate to one another. The relationships between the phases are <br />more important than the actual time until that phase is initiated or completed. That is, the <br />relationship between phases should remain approximately as shown, irrespective of whether it takes <br />30 years or 150 years to complete the operation.' The relationships are a function of design, while <br />timetables are controlled by market demands and are generally unrelated to design. Referring to <br />these maps while reviewing the following descriptions helps to visualize these sequences and <br />relationships. <br />West of Academy Boulevard <br />METHOD OF MINING: <br />Mining on this side of the highway is very Limited. It will only occur in Phases 2W, 3W, and <br />4 W (see Exhibit C). Mining in Phase 1 W is completed. That phase is under reclamation. <br /> <br />Mining Plan Page D-2 <br /> <br />
