• <br />6.4.4 Exhibit D ~ Mining Plan (revised 5/01) <br />Shook Gravel Pit #1 <br />Township 1 North, Range 52 West <br />SW 1/4 of Section 26 <br />S 1/2 of Section 27 <br />(a) We are going to have two locations running concurrently: <br />(1 }Beginning in the SW 114 of the SW 1 /4 of Section 27, <br />mining in a NE direction. <br />(2) Beginning in the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 27, <br />mining North approximently 318 mile and then NE <br />across the NW 1 /4 of the SW quarter of Section 26. <br />(b) Earth moving equipment, such as carry-alts, dozers ,loader and trucks, <br />will be moving topsoil from the mined area and stockpiling along the <br />boundaries of the mined areas. <br />No storage or working facility will be constructed on the site. During <br />non-use times, equipment will be parked near the topsoil piles. <br />(c) There are no water diversions and impoundments. <br />Brunker Creek does flow through the site. It is a dry creek bed. <br />Attached is a monthly prec-ipitation report from the USDA-ARS <br />Central Great Plains Research Station at Akron, Colorado, for 93 <br />years. The yearly average over this time span for the area is 16.5280 <br />nches, or 1.3773 inches a month average. We have no records of the <br />actual creek flow. This creek only flows 1-3 times a year when a <br />heary thunderstorm is in the vicinity of the site, the creek may run for <br />one day and is gone. No excess runoff, just the natural flow that is t <br />here now. All of the creek area will be mined, there will be no water <br />divereted. No work wilt be in progress when the creek is Rowing and <br />no mining material will be discharged down the creek area because <br />the site will be kept clean. <br />(d) The size of the areas to be worked at any one time will be approximently <br />10 acres each. <br />(e) An approximate timetable for the mining operation is to start as soon as <br />the application is approved and then till the gravel is depleted, which <br />should be several years. <br />(f) In conjunction with the map that is included for Exhibit C-Pre-mining and <br />Mining Plan, the overburden will be approximently one to three <br />
