EXHIBIT "D" -MINING PLAN (Technical Revision 6-20-85) <br />The operator was active during the inspection made by the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Division Personnel due to the fact that the operation was permitted <br />on January 6, 1980 and the operator was operating in a legal capacity under the <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act of 1973 and the Rules and Regulations <br />promugated by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />`/ The present stockpiled topsoil will be seeded by hand with a mixture of quick <br />cover sweet clover (1/2 lb. /acre and perennial rye (3 lbs. /acre) to prevent erosion. <br />~i.n d- <br />~ The topsoil stockpile will be seeded and not graded to prevent undue disturbance of <br />the topsoil stockpile. All newly stored topsoil will be graded to a 3:1 slope and will <br />be seeded by hand with a protective quick cover mixture of sweet clover (L/2 Lb. /acre) <br />and perennial rye grass (3 lbs. /acre) to prevent erosion. Approximately 4,000 cubic <br />yards of topsoil is currently located at the site. (See Mining Map, Exhibit "C"). <br />A stripped buffer zone (one scraper wide) will be used to separate the active <br />highwall face from the undisturbed land so that the amount of topsoil through the <br />handling process will be implemented by the operator in the future. <br />Presently, there is approximately 4, 000 cubic yards of topsoil in the storage <br />area. The topsoil in storage was stripped from area "A" as outlined . ~ on <br />the map in Exhibit "C". Future topsoil will be stripped from area ' C' as outlined <br />on the map in Exhibit "C" and will contain 9, 000 cubic yards of topsoil , In <br />o° <br />~ Id,e <br />~y% area "B" as outlined on the map, Exhibit "C'; :t will contain approximately 4, 000 <br />cubic yards of topsoil. <br />The topsoil will be put in the topsoil storage areas where there will be no - -; <br />stripping of topsoil, as indicated on the map in Exhibit "C". This should enable a <br />better determination of what topsoil was stripped and what topsoil was yet to be <br />salvaged. <br />
