<br />REVISED EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />(A) Mining will be performed using standard earth moving equipment. Jaw <br />and cone crushers along with screening plant, ground and stacking <br />conveyors will be used to process the material. 100% of the material <br />obtained from the pit wall can be processed through our equipment. <br />No waste piles will be generated from the mining operation. <br />(B) Topsoil shall be stripped using motor-graders to help windrow the <br />materials and paddle wheel scrapers to relocate the material to the <br />designated area. Earthmoving shall be accomplished using dozers to <br />push up the material and wheel loader to feed the crushers, or load pit <br />run directly into over-the-road trucks. <br />(C) No water diversion or impoundment's are necessary for this operation. <br />(D) The total area to be mined is 38.4 acres. The area has been separated <br />into three separate phases. Each area is listed below: We don't <br />anticipate disturbing more than 16.0 acres at one time. <br />Phase I 16.05 acres <br />Phase II 14.50 acres <br />Phase III 7.85 acres <br />The mining of the permitted area will be over an indefinite period of time. <br />The topsoil will be restored on the new side slopes as the pit progresses. <br />Motor graders and dozers shall be used to rip the pit wall slopes and <br />scrapers used to redistribute topsoil on the 3H:1V slopes. Topsoil will not <br />be replaced onto the pit floor in each phase until that phase is complete. <br />The pit floors will be used to set up the processing equipment and store <br />aggregate materials. Broadcasting a Crested Wheatgrass seed over the <br />stockpiled areas shall protect topsoil. Stockpile areas disturbed during the <br />mining operation shall be reseeded to minimize erosion. Topsoil will remain <br />in the stockpiles until redistributed in its final location. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
