' 4. A wildlife statement prepared by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) is <br /> not required for Limited Impact Operations. However, you may want to contact the <br /> local DOW representative to verify that no critical or important wildlife habitats <br /> or wildlife species will be impacted by your proposed operation. Contact the DOW <br /> office in Denver at (303) 297-1192, or the MLRD for assistance in locating the DOW <br /> office nearest the proposed mining site. <br /> ' EXHIBIT C - Mining Plan <br /> The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit area for <br /> the duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E - Map. The <br /> description of the mining plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3.2 <br /> and demonstrate compliance with Rule 6. At a minimum, you should include the following <br /> ' information: <br /> 1 . Specify the dates that mining will commence and end. These may be dictated <br /> ' by uncertain economic factors, but you should make your best estimate based upon <br /> your current plans; <br /> 2. Specify the depth to which soil , suitable as a plant growth medium, will be <br /> ' salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent <br /> with information you provide in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil should be salvaged to <br /> meet the vegetation establishment criteria of Rule 6.5. If you do not reapply the <br /> ' plant growth medium on a graded area immediately after salvage, then you must <br /> specify how you will stockpile and stabilize it with a vegetative cover until used <br /> in reclamation. Plant growth medium stockpiles should be located separate from <br /> ' other stockpiles , out of the way of mine traffic and out of stream channels or <br /> drainageways . The location of plant growth medium stockpiles must be shown on <br /> Exhibit E - Map; <br /> ' 3. Specify the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if any, to be <br /> removed to reach the deposit. The location of any overburden stockpiles or waste <br /> rock fills must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; <br /> ' 4. Specify the thickness of the deposit to be mined; <br /> ' 5.

Specify the dimensions of any significant disturbances to the land surface <br /> such as pit excavations, mine benches , impoundments , stockpiles , waste rock <br /> ' disposal areas , etc; <br /> 7. Specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that will be used <br /> for the mining operation. Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads <br /> ' and the specifications to be used in the construction of new roads .
