<br /> <br />• DIVISION OF MINERALS & GEOLOGY BOARD PERM11' APPLICATION <br />REGULAR OPERATION (112) <br />PROJECT NAME: HOGUE/K1VER PI"1' <br />Page <br />EXHIBIT U - MINING PLAN <br />Note: The quantity of topsoil in Phase I is derived by <br />subtracting the area of the existing pond. All <br />topsoil quantities are based on 12" removal and <br />replacement. <br />Phase I <br />A. Maior Disturbance Areas <br />1. Phase I operations will reinitiate mining operations in [he <br />previously mined pond area. Total area io be affected in <br />Phase i will be approximately 15 acres in size, and the <br />estimated life of this phase is 7 years. Removed topsoil <br />will be stockpiled along the north side of the properly as <br />shown in the attached map. This will help minimize the <br />visual impacts of mining operations from U.S. Highway 40 <br />• traffic. This stockpile will be shaped, reseeded, and <br />remain for the duration of the project. This stockpile may <br />remain after site reclamation is completed at the request <br />of the landowner. <br />Some wetland topsoil will be encountered during Phase I. <br />This topsoil will be removed with an excavator and loaded <br />on haul units to be transported to stockpiles or directly <br />to wetland replacement areas. <br />Prior to the commencement of actual mining activities, the <br />pond will be dewatered. Processing plants will be located <br />in the excavated area when sufficient room is realized. <br />Setting the processing plants in the pit area will help <br />minimize visual and noise impacts. Processed material <br />stockpiles will also be located in the excavated area. <br />• <br />Duckels Construction, Inc. dba Yampa Aggregates <br />41230 Koutt County Rd. #129, Steamboat Springs, Colorado 50487 <br />
