EXHIBIT D <br />BRENT PIT <br />N 1NING PLAN <br />The sand and gravel being mined in this operation will be pushed by a tracked <br />dozer or front-end loader working from west to east into a stockpile. A front-end loader <br />will then load the material from the stockpile into haul trucks. Some of the sand and <br />gravel could remain in the stockpile for several weeks. The sand and gravel will be <br />utilized in the maintenance and construction of county roads in District 2 of Lincoln <br />County. <br />Prior to removal of the sand and gravel 4 to 6 inches of topsoil will be stockpiled <br />for later use in the reclamation of the affected lands. These topsoil stockpiles will be hand <br />seeded if necessary to stabilize the piles and prevent erosion. Any overburden that <br />underlies the topsoil will either be used as binder or stockpiled for later use in the <br />reclamation. These stockpiles will also be hand seeded as required for stabilization and to <br />prevent erosion. The maximum size area that will be mined at one time would be from 7 <br />to 9 acres. <br />This operation will be active but will be used les than 180 days per year. <br />The over burden to be removed is a mix of soil and sand and gravel that gets <br />sandier with increasing depth. The sand and gravel to be mined varies in thickness from 7 <br />to 15 feet. The material that under lays the sand and gravel is a mix of clay and sand that <br />turns to clay a great depth. <br />The primary commodity being extracted is sand and gravel. No incidental <br />products will be mined. <br />No explosives are used in either the mining or reclamation. <br />4
