Carder, Inc. <br />Regular 112 Operations Permit Application <br />Windy Ridge Pit/Windy Ridge LLC <br />EXHIBIT D -MINING PLAN <br />(a)_Mining will commence as soon as all the necessary_permits_and_approvals <br />are obtained. Mining will cease as soon as material is depleted or for the <br />life of the lease. <br />(b)The topsoil media will be salvaged to a depth of at least 3 to 4 inches or <br />more if the material is available. However, the depth of topsoil typical for <br />the area is approximately 3 to 4 inches. We will salvage sufficient growth <br />medium in order to establish vegetation. The topsoil will be stockpiled in <br />an orderly berm suitable for seeding in the event that the topsoil is to <br />remain in storage beyond one growing season. The location of topsoil <br />stockpiles is shown on the mining plan map. <br />(c) In the area there is a thin veneer of approximately 3 to 4 inches of topsoil <br />overlying natural sands and clays underlain by sandstone or claystone <br />bedrock at depth. The depth to bedrock range in the area from near <br />surface to approximately 12 feet below existing grade. <br />(d)The thickness of the deposit to be mined is from approximately 2 to 12 feet <br />in depth, which is the depth of the deposit. <br />(e) Access to the pit will be accomplished by an existing county road and an <br />existing pasture road. The equipment that will be located on the site will <br />be self-propelled scrapers, dozers, wheeled front end loaders along with the <br />processing equipment such as screens, crushers, and conveyor systems used <br />to process the material. <br />(f) The pit dimensions will be approximately 5280' X 2640' for a total acreage <br />of 320 acres total. The area of disturbance at one time will be a maximum <br />of 20 acres total. We will not exceed 20 acres of disturbed area and before <br />mining moves we will reclaim approximately 10 acres of area. No benches <br />or exterior roads will be constructed. <br />
