• Earthmoving activities will be greatest at the Northeastern edge of <br />the deposit. Referring to the general geologic cross section submitted <br />in Exhibit "C" Maps, hangingwall limestone and shales will be pushed <br />to the Northeast, facilitating development and extraction of gypsum <br />beds which dip East-Northeast throughout most of the deposit. Due to <br />lack of appreciable soil horizon in the hangingwall areas and steep <br />slopes, no attempts are planned for "topsoil" preservation during <br />development stages. Other earthmoving of waste materials will be <br />employed at the mining face via front end loader and end dump haul <br />trucks. Waste dump areas other than the northeastern border of the <br />ore body (hangingwall of deposit) are located in the Southern End <br />(Gillespie Hill Dump), an old mine cut, and in the extreme North End <br />of the affected land, (North End Dump on plan map, Exhibit "C") <br />• C. Water Diversion or impoundment <br />No plans for water diversion and impoundment of water on Coaldale <br />affected land are scheduled. Due to limited amounts of this resource <br />in the area, low water table, high permeability, and absence of a <br />natural water course (other than Hayden Creek, which crosses the main <br />haul road, removed from the mining area), the Coaldale operation will <br />have no appreciable affect on neighboring surface or subsurface <br />water resources. <br />D. Size of areas to be worked at one time <br />In reference to the basic mine plan, per above, several areas must <br />be worked concurrently in order to meet product specifications. The <br />following outline attempts to portray the present state of types of <br />. disturbance in the affected land. Reference to the Mining Plan <br />Timetable and the Reclamation Plan Timetable will show the progression <br />
