<br />ERHIBIT D - Mining Plan <br />The Raftopoulos Pit #1 <br />gently from south to north. <br />estimated to be from 15' to <br />no bedrock was encountered, <br />bedrock will dip slightly t <br />that assumption. Mining is <br />end June 1, 2008. <br />is situated on a gravel bench sloping <br />The depth of the gravel resources is <br />20'. In the exploration of this site <br />however, it is believed that the <br />~ the north. This plan is based on <br />estimated to begin June 1, 1998, and <br />There are no significant man-made features within 200 feet <br />of the affected area, with the exception of the existing access <br />road, which belongs to the permittee's property owners: The <br />Raftopoulos Brothers. This road will be re-developed, graded and <br />drained to accomodate vehicles in Moffat County's transportation <br />system. The facility will be left in place, at the owners' <br />request, in the post-mining period for the purpose of ranch <br />management. <br />The significant disturbances are limited to the mining, <br />storage and removal of surface mineable materials on the <br />permitted area. No off-site facilities are involved. <br />Because of the topographic limitations, this pit is designed <br />to channel local drainage water into depressions that may form <br />water ponds. At the advice of the Colorado State Engineer's <br />Office, if the water storage in these depressed locations becomes <br />substantial, the land owner will need to file for storage and <br />evaporation rights on these features. Surface run-off water will <br />be diverted away from the excavation area by berms and channels <br />as necessary to protect the sloping embankments from erosion. <br />The topsoil depth is from 8" to 12" through out the Affected <br />Area. This humic material will be stripped and stockpiled in an <br />inactive portion of the Affected Area, and protected from local <br />drainage channels, until needed for reclamation, The topsoil <br />piles will be stabilized by seeding them with Moffat County's <br />approved seed mix and application formula. Signs will be placed <br />to identify the topsoil and to caution not to remove. <br />The overburden runs from nil on the north end to 5 feet <br />thick on the south, Because Moffat County will mix roughly two <br />feet of overburden with the sand and gravel in a 15 ft. profile, <br />we estimate that there will be no substantial overburden storage <br />piles to address. <br />EXHIBIT ° s~ <br />
