<br />EXHIBIT "C" <br />4) EXHIBIT "C" -Rule 6.3.3(a) <br />Mining is proposed to commence shortly after permit issuance and the pit is project to have a life <br />of 10 to 15 years. <br />5) EXHIBIT "C" Rule 6.3.3 (b) <br />Topsoil is ample and is expected to be replaced at a depth of 6" to 10", with an average of 8" <br />proposed. The topsoil will be stored in a low berm. [fit is to remain in place for more than one <br />growing season, it will be seeded with an SCS recommended seed mix to preserve the integrity of <br />the material. There will be sufficient topsoil available to treat the entire disturbed area. Topsoil <br />stockpiles are shown on the maps. <br />6) EXHIBIT "C" -Rule 6.3.3(cl <br />The overburden varies from 4 feet to 14 feet in depth. This is substantially more than would <br />normally be considered for economic mining. In this instance, the distance of 40 to 80 miles to the <br />nearest alternate sources, and associated trucking costs, make this a viable project. Material shortage <br />in the area makes this overburden a very salable product as engineered fill material. <br />7) EXHIBIT "C" -Rule 6.3.3(e) <br />The major components of this operation will be the access roads denoted. In the beginning there <br />will be a a pit area of 3 to ~ acres, which will expand to a total of 8.9 acres, and will possibly include <br />a portable crushing spread, as well as product and topsoil stockpiles. There will be no office or other <br />structures required.. The new maps more adequately describe the operation. This will be strictly a <br />dry pit operation located on the bench at least 30 feet above the irrigated pasture, wetlands, and <br />Grape Creek. There will definitely not be any ponds or affects on water rights of the area. <br />8) EXHIBIT "C" -Rule 6.3.3(11 <br />[n paragraph 7 above, the pit excavation area is expected to be 8.9 acres. <br />9) EXHIBIT "C" -Rule 6.3.3(Q) <br />Exhibit "A" -Rule 6.3.1(2) details the new haul roads to be constructed south from Hermit Road,. <br />constituting 1.00 acre, which is included in the permit area. No improvements will be necessary on <br />other existing roads. Since this will be a dry pit, as explained, there will be no associated drainage <br />or runoff conveyance structures to be built or designed. <br />10) EXHIBIT "C" -Rule 6.3.3(hl <br />
