Asphalt production will normally occur periodically between the months of March and November. Any asphalt production which occurs will be limited to the identified staging area. The plant will meet or exceed all State and Federal pollution requirements, and is inspected on a regular basis by governmental authorities. Hot bituminous pavement made on site is not stored in the permit area; it is taken directly to the job site. The operation will use an existing graveled access road (15 Road} to gain access to Highway 50. Primarily, 24 ton belly dumps will be used to haul both asphalt as well as some washed sand and gravel to job sites. Most raw sand and gravel will be shipped with 14 ton tandem trucks. No explosives will be used at any time during the mining or reclamation operations. No digging will be allowed within 30 feet of the overhead powerline and no digging will be permitted within 50' of the buried gas line. See documents in Exhibit S -Permanent Man-Made Structures. Of the total permit area of 188.54 acres, the total disturbed area is 184.64 acres. The breakdown of this acreage is given below. It is based on the areas of full mining and is not a worst case distur- bance for the life of the pit, since many areas will be reclaimed as new areas are mined. Permit Area Description Acreage 1. Soil/Overburden Stockpiles 7.5 2. Sediment Pond 0.9 3. Mining Areas to be reclaimed as lakes and industrial pads. Includes Process- ing area with stockpiles, scale, trailer, fuel farm. 158.1 4.

MiningTimetable The following timetable is a best estimate of the sequence of operations for the life of the mine after December of 2002 and is based on mining and selling 450,000 tons of total product per year (this is less than the permit maximum rates but are expected averages): 15 Road Pit10/02 16
