<br />Exhibit D - Minin4 Plan <br />Location and Setting <br /> <br />This is an application for a Regular 112 permit to mine clay at a site located in <br />Douglas County about 4.9 miles northeast of Castle Rock. The site itself is vacant <br />range land. The surrounding properties are vacant range land and agricultural. <br />Access <br />An existing access road serves the site and has been in place for many years. <br />The road is suitable to support the operation and is not included in the affected area <br />per Rule 1.1 (3). <br />Soil Salvage <br />Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled for use in reclamation. The depth of the <br />surface soil suitable for use in reclamation, and corresponding depth to be stripped, <br />depends on location on site but generally averages about eight inches. <br />The Exhibit C map includes a simple diagram illustrating the layout of a typical <br />mine plan setting. In general, all stockpiling will occur near the perimeter of a <br />particular area to be disturbed. As a stabilization measure, soil stockpiled for longer <br />than one year will be revegetated. Additional information regarding the site's soil <br />resources is provided in Exhibit I -Soils Information. <br />Overburden Salvage <br />Overburden ranges from about five to 17 feet in thickness (average of about <br />nine feet) over the area to be mined. The overburden will be stripped and stockpiled <br />separately from the topsoil. The overburden will be used as backfill during <br />reclamation of the areas mined. <br />-4- <br />
