EXHIBIT C -Mining Plan a) The mining is expected to begin as soon as possible after a permit is obtained. The operation will provide material for concrete plants in the azea. It may also provide some material for road construction or landscaping. Anticipated life of the pit is four years. b) The mining plan is to begin removal of the material beginning at the west end of the pit area and proceed northeast in the creek. Excavation will continue as the need for material continues and, as the supply remains available. There is currently no topsoil in the creek bed itself. If the creek beds were disturbed, the topsoil along the bank would be stripped and stockpiled for later use in re- vegetation. That topsoil would be stockpiled outside of the actual mining azea. If a topsoil stockpile exists, it will be seeded with vegetation to prevent soil erosion. c) There would appeaz to be no waste rock or material at the site. d) Mining is anticipated to a depth of 4 to 5 feet. The mining plan is to begin at the west end of the pit and proceed northeastward. No slopes will be left greater than 3:1. e) The pit will be accessed from Co. Rd. 16 to the south. A small trail mad will access the site. It is anticipated that the trail road will be left in place at the end of the operation for use by the landowner. There will be no shop, plant, or other facilities located at the mine site. The equipment used to mine the gravel will be afront-end loader, large track hoe, dozer, and trucks. Some stockpiling of material may be done at the site, but most of the material will be utilized as it is mined. Any stockpiling that does occur will be placed in line with the drainage flow line that runs through the area and along the north edge of the pit. The anticipated stockpile azea is shown on the mining plan. No processing of material is anticipated at the site. f} There are no existing disturbances to describe at the site. g) The trail to the pit will be about 600' in length and 10 feet wide. The trail will be used for the life of the pit and then left for the landowner. It will be re- seeded at the completion of the operation h) No water is anticipated in conjunction with the operation. There could be instances when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to continue. At those times, mining will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine again. i) Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site.
