EXHIBIT "C" <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> (a) Mining is proposed to resume immediately after permit issuance, and will continue as long as <br /> suitable material is available in commercial quantities. <br /> (b)Topsoil - soil suitable as plant growth medium. <br /> Topsoil varies from 6" to 10", and will be stockpiled on the pit perimeters for replacement in <br /> reclamation. The pit should daylight on the north and south, with the west and east edge being <br /> backsloped at 3H:1 V in reclamation. Topsoil will be replaced at 6" to 8". <br /> (c) Thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock. <br /> Overburden varies from 1 foot to 3 feet. That which is not used for fill material and product will be <br /> used in backsloping during reclamation. <br /> (d) Thickness of deposit to be mined. <br /> Aggregate depth appears to be from 6' to 8', shallowing out on the perimeters and becoming deeper <br /> as excavation moves to the west. <br /> (e) Major components of the mining operation. <br /> 1. Access is from an existing ranch road which has access on Highway 10. A short stretch of road <br /> will be constructed from the ranch road to the pit area and included as part of the permit araea. <br /> 2. Material will be excavated by front-end loader and stockpiled for removal to job sites or for <br /> possibly a portable crushing plant, which may be moved in at various times. <br /> 3. No permanent office, shop or maintenance buildings are present or proposed. <br /> 4. There are no underground openings such as adits or ventilation facilities, since this is an open-pit <br /> operation. The existing ranch roads are the only items to be shown on the map. <br />
