The location of areas to be described as noted on the attached mining map. e See a & b above for time estimate. ii See "d" above for size and location. iii See "a & b" for sequence. C O N F I D E N T I A L /Please refer to mining map EXHIBIT C for location of following areas. i - The ore body consists of a plastic and flint clay. Depth from the surface to the top of the clay will vary from 10' to 45'. The flint clay is 0' to 10' thick. In some areas the plastic is present but there is no flint clay, in other areas there is flint but no plastic, and in some areas both plastic and flint are present. ii - The stratum beneath the clay is sandstone. EXHIBIT E - Reclmation Plan a All disturbed areas will be reclaimed for range type lands. The area is best suited for range use. Total acreage to be reclaimed under this plan is 29.8 acres. The desired result of reclamation is to provide a surface which will support native vegetation. This surface must be a slope which will permit equipment to traverse the area for seed bed preparation and planting. Earth moving on the area involved in this permit application will be completed in a manner which will permit development of the desired surface. b Proposed postmining land is rangeland, the same as present land uses in the vicinity where land has similar slope and soil conditions. c Grading - Upon completion of mining in each of the areas included in this permit application and noted on attached reclamation map, the highwalls in the South and East Face areas of the Main Pit will be reduced to a slope of 35° or less. Part of the overburden will be used for backfill in all mined out areas.
