<br />~nks and Gesso, LLC <br />EXHIBIT D -MINING PLAN <br />Overview <br />L.G. Everist, Inc. (Everist) proposes to excavate approximately 2.8 million cubic yards <br />(4.2 million tons) of sand and gravel from the Lohmann and French properties. The <br />excavation operation will begin upon approval of all permits, probably in late 2001, and <br />will last 10-15 years, depending on market conditions. <br />Everist intends to develop the site as a sand and gravel mining and processing <br />operation, with ancillary and compatible uses of concrete production. Approximately 61 <br />acres of the total 82 permitted acres will be mined (see Exhibit C-3). Everist proposes to <br />dry-mine the site. The aggregate and processing plants will be located in the north- <br />central portion of the site. <br />The post mining land use of the site is envisioned to be primarily water storage, with <br />some residential use. The Reclamation Plan assumes the cost for restoration of the <br />mining area as a clay-lined water storage facility, as illustrated, although one area may <br />be reclaimed for future agricultural or residential use, and another small area may be <br />utilized for residential development. Reclamation is discussed in detail in Exhibit F - <br />Reclamation Plan. <br />Methods of Mining -Rule 6.4.4(a) <br />Everist proposes to dry-mine the site. Mining will occur in one phase and will be initiated <br />in the southern portion of the site and continue north towards the mining limits. To <br />minimize groundwater impacts on adjoining properties, Everist will line the edges of the <br />future basin areas on the site. A slurry wall will be constructed around the perimeter of <br />the French property prior to mining that section (Area C, see Exhibit C-3). In the <br />Lohmann property, clay-lining the edges will commence after the deposit floor has been <br />initially exposed, and proceed concurrently with the movement of mining operations <br />through the section (Area B, see Exhibit C-3). <br />Lohmann Sand and Gravel Mine.DMG.112 20055 <br />L.G.
