EXHIBIT C <br />CLARK PIT <br />MINING PLAN <br />The sand and gravel being mined in this operation will be pushed by a tracked <br />dozer or front-end loader working from north to south into stockpiles. Afront-end loader <br />will then load the material from the stockpile into haul trucks. Some of the sand and <br />gravel could remain in the stockpile for several weeks. The sand and gravel will be <br />utilized in the maintenance and construction of county roads in District 3 of Lincoln <br />County. <br />Prior to removal of the sand and gravel 4 to 10 inches of topsoil will be stockpiled <br />for later use in the reclamation of the affected lands. These topsoil stockpiles will be hand <br />seeded if necessary to stabilize the piles and prevent erosion. The 1 to 2 feet of <br />overburden that underlies the topsoil will either be used as binder or stockpiled for later <br />use in the reclamation. These stockpiles will also be hand seeded as required for <br />stabilization and to prevent erosion. The maximum size azea that will be mined at one <br />time would be from 5 to 6 acres. This site will become active as soon as all permits are <br />obtained. Judging from the amount of material available this pit should be in operation <br />for about 12 to 15 years. The pit will be active but will be used fewer than 180 days per <br />year. No water will be used to produce the sand and gravel being mined nor will any <br />chemicals or explosives be used in this operation. <br />The over burden to be removed is a mix of soil and sand and gravel that gets <br />sandier with increasing depth. The sand and gravel to be mined vazies in thickness from 7 <br />to 15 feet. The material that under lays the sand and gravel is a mix of clay and sand that <br />turns to clay a great depth. <br />The primazy commodity being extracted is sand and gravel. No incidental <br />products will be mined. <br />
