S~GWICK COUNTY ROAD AND BRIE <br />223 SOUTH CEDAR STREET <br />JULESBURG, COLORADO 80737 <br />PHONE-970-474-3576, FAX-970-474-3558 <br />5~ <br />EXHIBIT C- MINING PLAN <br />The Pit will operate on an annual basis. The estimate life span of the pit is IS <br />years which will depend upon the depth, quality, and quanity of gravel. The site has <br />currently 0 to 2 inches of top soil. The County will stockpile the top soil that will be <br />removed at the time of mining. Reclamation will occur as the depth of gravel is <br />exhausted. Plant growth and top soil will be replaced immediately after the gravel <br />is exhausted at a thickness of approximately 4 to 6 inches. The stockpile of topsoil will be <br />seeded to Western Wheatgrass, using a grass seeding drill, at a rate of 9.48 PLS. <br />The estimated depth of gravel is 22 feet. <br />Access is currently available from Sedgwick County Road #21.5 A trail road is <br />maintained into the pit site. Stockpiling will be placed for easy removal by loaders and <br />trucks. <br />There will be no water use at the site as we will not wash gravel. <br />Because of the location, very little water, if any will cross the site. There are only <br />small drainage ways that cross the site. These drainage ways may pass a small amount of <br />storm water in thunderstorm conditions. <br />The gravel will be stockpiled with a dozer and loaded on trucks with a wheel <br />loader. We will not wash gravel or chemically treat gravel for any reason at any time. <br />The gravel from this site will be used for improving the surface of gravel roads in the <br />County and repairing water damage due to excessive rainfall and flooding. <br />
