MINING PLAN <br />not occur. The soil, once salvaged, will be stockpiled in locations convenient <br />• for reclamation. The approximate locations of the soil stockpiles are shown on <br />the Mining Plan Map. <br />Due to the severe erosional dissection of the property, it will be necessary <br />to carefully control run-off. This control will be achieved through careful <br />monitoring of the gravel extraction areas, extraction orientation, and the use of <br />additional small catchment and silt basins in each of the major drainages. <br />On the whole, extraction will not extend deep into the many valleys found on <br />the site. These valleys are frequently occupied by dense growths of shrubs and <br />all efforts will be taken to preserve these shrub stands. Preservation of the <br />shrubs will protect the valley bottoms from excessive erosion due to increased <br />outflows from the mining areas. <br />ACCESS ~1 ON_SITE ROADS: The access route will be from the west side of Phase <br />•. I. The road which extends along this side of Phase I is used by the Broderick & <br />Gibbons trucks and therefore would provide for a concentration of truck traffic in <br />this area. Such concentration is beneficial. It aids in planning of traffic <br />control, patterns, and densities. EYom this entrance to the operation various <br />temporary access routes to the other phases will be established and eliminated as <br />needed. <br />PERMIT ACID AFFECTED AREAS: The permit and the affected land boundaries are <br />congruent. Therefore, the permit area is equal to the affected land area. <br />The mining plan map indicates a second zone which is contained within the <br />affected land (or permit) boundary. This zone represents the extraction area. <br />This area is where gravel extraction will occur. The lands between the extraction <br />limit and the permit area will not be mined, but are present in order to provide, <br />page 2 of 10 Exhibit D <br />
