SITE DESCRIPTION (cont) Exhibit B <br /> PERMANENT MAN-MADE STRUCTURES <br /> The only man-made structure within 200 feet of the affected <br /> lands are the two sprinkler systems either side of the mined area <br /> and a 3 strand barbed wire fence on the south property line. <br /> These sprinklers and fence are owned by us. There are no above <br /> or below ground communication or power lines, bridges, wells, <br /> pipelines, water storage impoundments, railroad tracks, cemeter- <br /> ies or communication antennas within 200 feet of the affected <br /> lands. <br /> WATER RESOURCES <br /> There are no water structures within 200 feet of the site. <br /> The two wells that supply water to our sprinklers are owned by us. <br /> Mining will not reach the ground water table. Our investigations <br /> indicated the ground water table is more than 150 feet below the <br /> surface of the site, so no ground water will be exposed. Surface <br /> or subsurface water will not be impacted by this mining opera- <br /> tion. There may be a minor amount of irrigation runoff and <br /> surface storm runoff from the adjoining fields entering the site <br /> after mining ends. But because of the nature of the sandy site <br /> we expect this to soak into the ground and not accumulated for <br /> any length of time. In similar situations in this area we have <br /> observed water collecting in low spots during heavy storms and <br /> within in a week the puddle is dry. <br /> MINING PLAN EXHIBIT C <br /> 6.3. 3 - This is an open pit mine located 9 .5 miles south of <br /> Yuma Colorado, east of County Road C and south of County Road 29 . <br /> We anticipate the life of this mine to be between 5 and 10 years <br /> depending on the need for material in the area. The site -0 has <br /> been used by the landowners as a dryland pasture over the years. <br /> The area we plan to mine covers approximately 9 .99 acres in the <br /> area not covered by the sprinklers. The relation of the site to <br /> the irrigated fields and the area we plan to mine is shown on the <br /> Mining Plan Map - Exhibit E-1 . <br /> The material will be used to supply construction materials <br /> for the area around Yuma. We may also remove material for use on <br /> our own property and roads while selling some for off site uses . <br /> 7 <br />
