. 5+~ <br />Exihibit D and G 5 <br />Mining Plan <br />a. We plan to start mining approximately March 15, 1998 for the current 111 permit. Then we will <br />start mining as the 112 permit indicates for a duration as indicated in the 112 application <br />for approximately 15 years in a phased mining operation. <br />b. The operation will be an open pit phased mining operation utilizing dozers and loaders as <br />equipment. Processed materials will be hauled off the site using trucks. The average size of area <br />to be worked will not exceed the areas indicated by each phase. <br />c. The time period for each phase will vary, for the resources being mined. Prior to finishing <br />phase, work will already be initiated in regards to the reclamation plan in backfilling, final <br />grading, seeding and final stabilization. <br />d. A minimum of the top 6 inches of topsoil will be removed and stockpiled for each phased area. <br />~~ The topsoil will be reapplied to this mined area after mining ceases. Stabilization of the topsoil <br />~ stockpile with vegetative cover will be enacted if this material is not utilized within one growing <br />\~ v~ season. <br />5 <br />e. We do not anticipate any overburden other than topsoil but in the event that we do, it will be <br />utilized to flatten out slopes of mined out areas. Topsoil will then be applied on top of these <br />areas. <br />f. The area to be mined will be 0 to 30 feet deep. <br />g. There will be processing on site such as screening, crushing and washing. The hot plant and <br />concrete plant will be contained by a berm encompassing the plant sites. We will also <br />put HDPE lined sediment ponds at the low spot inside the bermed area. <br />h. A new road will be constructed for access to highway 50. Please see maps in exhibit C. The road <br />will only require blading and water for dust control. <br />i. Minimal water will be needed for dust control. It is our intent to obtain water from Carl Pantaleo <br />for dust abatement, and if needed, for wash water. We understand there are other agencies that <br />regulate the use of this water. We. will continue to pursue that. Until the time we have received ~ <br />from those <br />sb water wil <br />not a used until we have approval. The source of irrigation water for reve~on will be from ~ <br />Pantaleo irrigation water and we realize further approval and additional permits will be ~ <br />required from the state engineer. The amount of water estimated for dust control is <br />approximately 2000 gallons per day. The estimated amount of water for a wash plant , if needed, <br />is approximately 12,000 gallons per day. <br />`+ <br />Ground water disturbance is not anticipated. The State Engineer has requested that we stay 18" <br />above ground water we have agreed to do this. If for unknown reasons we cant be 18" above the <br />water table proper State Engineer approval will be provided. The only surface water on site now <br />is impounded in the stock dam. See detar3s in 111 permit as to relocation of stockpond. Any <br />storm water will be handled by constructing silt fences and berms in the low spots before any <br />water could exit the mine area. <br />j. We do not anticipate any acid or toxic producing material will be exposed during mining. <br />
