<br />"EXHIBIT C" <br />MINING PLAN <br />The Thomeczek Pit, located in east-central Bent County, is a <br />small open sand operation. The permit area is 9.78 acres on <br />alluvial deposits of the near-by Arkansas River. Part of this <br />permit area is 2.6 acres of a gravel pit mined out years ago. The <br />9 ~/ area is nearly 1/2 mile out of a resen ood plain, ~~virtue <br />nQV of the Corps of Engineers flood dike control. <br />l~~ The mining will supply the needs of Bent Ready Mix for the <br />next several years. <br />Mining will continue on the west end of the site, until <br />resource is exhausted. No further excavation will occur on west <br />end of site. The 0.6 acres on west end of site will be used for <br />equipment storage, fuel tank, etc.. Mining will then commence on <br />the east side of present pit. <br />Top soil will be segregated and stored for later use. Waste <br />material will be stock piled separate from top soil on south area <br />of pit. <br />Mining is in an area where water table is approximately 5 feet <br />below surface. Mininq can reach 12 feet in depth. Operator is in <br />contact with Division of Water Resources to maintain compliance. <br />Water table may fluctuate up to one foot. <br />Materials will be stripped only on areas to be mined, as <br />needed. This will minimize the danger of erosion. Stock piles of <br />materials will be on the south portion of site. Stock piles will <br />be sloped at 3:1 ration and top soil will be used if seeding is <br />necessary during mining operation. <br />Slopes of pond will be maintained at 3:1 during mining. <br />As mining continues on the east of site as many as 10 large <br />trees may be disturbed. These trees will be cut and used for <br />firewood with stumps placed in pond for fish habitat. <br />~ ~ ro c.e~,~,i ~ ~ Scveev-r ~P w~l~.¢i. <br />No rv~5~- <br />
