EXEIIBIT C -Mining Plan <br />a) The mining is expected to begin as soon as possible after a permit is obtained. <br />The operation will provide material for concrete plants in the azea. It may <br />also provide some material for road construction or landscaping. Anticipated <br />life of the pit is five to eight yeazs. <br />b) The mining plan is to remove the top two feet of topsoil and overburden. This <br />material will be stripped, stockpiled, and utilized when the pit is reclaimed. <br />The overburden stockpile will be in the very northeast corner of the pit azea. <br />c) There would appear to be no waste rock or material at the site. <br />d) Mining is anticipated to a depth of at least 15 feet. The mining plan is to <br />begin at the west end of the pit and proceed eastward. No slopes will be left <br />greater than 3:1. <br />e) The pit will be accessed from an existing trail road on the property that <br />services two other existing 110 pits. The trail road is off of Co. Rd. ZZ. <br />There will be no shop, plant, or other facilities located at the mine site. The <br />equipment used to mine the gravel will be primazily a scraper and trucks. A <br />front-end loader and bulldozer might be employed at some point in the mining <br />operation. Some screening could occur at the site. All of the equipment will <br />be serviced off premises. <br />f) There are no existing disturbances to describe at the site. <br />g) The trail to the pit is about 300' in length and 10 feet wide. The trail will be <br />used for the life of the pit and then reclaimed. <br />h) No water is anticipated in conjunction with the operation. There could be <br />instances when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to continue. At those <br />times, mining will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine <br />again. <br />i) Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. <br />j) Since no water is to be used, there should be no injury to existing water rights. <br />k) No refuse, acid, or toxic producing materials aze anticipated at the site. Other <br />mining enterprises in this part of Washington County have never yielded any <br />such materials. <br />
