<br />EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan <br />(a) Gravel will be removed from the intermittent stream bed with a <br />front end loader and hauled via dump truck to the plant <br />headquarters in Akron, Colorado. Gravel may also be removed <br />from the bank areas in the same manner. <br />(b) If the bank areas are disturbed, topsoil from the bank will be <br />salvaged for a depth of 6"/12" and stockpiled until used in <br />reclamation. No other earthmoving will occur, except actual <br />gravel removal as described in (a). <br />(c) none <br />(d) Disturbance to the permitted area will occur in approximate <br />one (1) acre segments. <br />(e) Gravel will be removed from the bed of the stream first. Hank <br />disturbance may occur in the late stages of the life of the <br />mine if bed deposits are depleted. Early phase mining is <br />planned to occur on the south side of the highway (upstream <br />end). Due to consequences of high flow periods, operations <br />may move about the permitted area as gravel deposits dictate. <br />Work will occur in approximate one (1) acre segments. The <br />mining timetable for this permit should span at least 20 years. <br />(f) See Exhibit C (h) - Soils Map. The Surveyor Creek <br />intermittent drainageway consists of fine and gravelly sandy <br />loam. It is formed in alluvium from mixed reworked sandy and <br />loamy material. The depth of deposits range from 0" to 60". <br />The substratum is a stratified loamy sand and sandy loam. <br />
