<br /> <br />EXHIBIT B <br />Mining Plan <br /> <br />~' <br />~' <br />', <br />'' <br />G <br />r <br />The current operator of this clay mine began his operation in <br />1915. The area mined since 1976 is indicated on the mining plan map. <br />Production quantities for the years 1973-1976 were used to <br />follows: <br />determine area projection required for the mining plan. They are as <br />1973 - 9,889 Tans <br />1974 - 4,379 Tons <br />1975 - 3,926 Tons <br />1976 - 3,516 Tons <br />The operator has indicated a projected recovery rate of approxi- <br />mately 7,800 tons per year. The average overburden is 5%o comprised <br />of primarily 0 - 1 feet of topsoil underlain by 19 feet of usable clay <br />material. tdaximum pit dep*_hs are in the 25 foot range and typically <br />are less than 20 feet. lasing a 20 foot average depth and a 5"0 over- <br />burden value, it is projected that one to one and one-half surface <br />acres per year will be disturbed. <br />Less than one-half acre of additional land is occupied by haul <br />roads and stock outs. <br />The mining plan will consist of topsoil removal by a front end <br />loader and the stockpiling of the topsoil. It is anticipated that the <br />stock out area for ±opsoil can be established in previously mined <br />areas. The clay will be excavated to an app.°oximate maximwn depth of <br />25 feet by front end loader which places the material in dump trucks <br />for delivery to a processing site nearby. Plo water usage is anticipated <br />at the mine site and no surface or ground water is retained except for <br />short periods after heavy rains. <br />
