MINING PLAN EXHIBIT C <br />A large stockpile of specification aggregates will be <br />created on the site as mining progresses. Once there is an <br />adequate supply, the processing plant will be moved to another <br />site and the processed material will be removed as needed. We <br />expect the mine to operate year around with periods of inactivity <br />when adverse weather conditions exist. There may be periods when <br />no activity takes place on the mine because there is no demand <br />for material. We can not estimate how long these periods of <br />inactivity will be, but may last up to 6 months or more. <br />When topsoil is encountered it will be stripped and stock- <br />piled around the perimeter of the site or on the mine floor for <br />use in reclamation. We expect to place an average of 10 inches <br />of salvaged topsoil on the mined area. There will be some fines <br />generated by processing that will be salvaged to supplement the <br />salvaged topsoil. If the soil stockpiles remain undisturbed for <br />more than one growing season a cover crop of Western Wheatgrass <br />will be planted at a rate of 3.0 lbs pls/200 Ft~. <br />We expect to have 9.10 acres or less disturbed at any one <br />time. The bond estimate presented on Page 13 shows the amount of <br />Land we will disturbed as a worse case scenario. As mining <br />progresses we expect to have no more that 400 feet of working <br />face that would need shaping at any one time. At the end of each <br />mining session the highwall will be graded 3h to lv so no slope <br />grading will be necessary if mining ends prematurely. The <br />exterior slopes will be graded 3h to lv as mining progresses thru <br />the deposit. The floor of the mine will be graded so it is level <br />as shown on Map Exhibit E-2. <br />Little or no water will be used at the site. If dust <br />control water is used it will be obtained from sources MS Forest, <br />LLC. has available and approved for that use. <br />12 <br />
