EXHIBIT C MINING PLAN ~ ~ ~~ ~ ! ~ rI'~~~y Ir FREMONT COUNTY ROAD DISTRICT ~ 1 _1 ~ ~ ee l~/~ ~ , t~- OAK CREEK GRAVEL PIT ppl,,p"il"^"t~ The :Wining operation will be started as soon as all local and state permits have been obtained. The end of the project is unpredictable as the material will be used to maintain the County Roads in the immediate area and use of the pit will depend on how much maintenance is needed. It is estimated that the pit will provide material for a minimum of ten years. Removal of topsoil will vary slightly from 8 inches to 12 inches and will be placed in the mining setback area on the south side of the pit in the configuration of a berm as a visual barrier. The material at the site has virtually no overburden and is expected to all be used. The predicted mining depth is 20 feet. The mining operation will be conducted by the county road crews on a need basis with a minimal amount of stockpiling to be done. The equipment to be used in the operation will consist of a bulldozer to scrape and pile the material, a frontend loader to load dump trucks so that material may be transported to use sites. There may be an occasional need to screen and stockpile material. On these occasions, stockpiles will be located as shown on the map or located in previously mined areas. The area disturbed by mining will be a triangular tract, Approximate dimensions for the three sides are as follows; Southwesterly -- 850 feet, Northwesterly -- 580 feet, Northeasterly -- 790 feet. The subject parcel adjoins Fremont County Road R 143 and access is gained from said road. No major new construction of roads will be necessary. The reason for the project is to improve existing county roads. From all preliminary investigations, there are no indications that. ground water will be encountered throughout the entire project. There are two dry gulches near the project site, but places do not include disturbing either gulch.
