EXHIBIT C <br />Mining Plan <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C - Mining Plan <br />The purpose of the mining plan is to describe how mining will affect the permit area for <br />the duration of the operation. This plan must be correlated to Exhibit E - Map. The <br />description of the mining plan must be adequate to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1 <br />and demonstrate compliance with Rule 3. At a minimum, the Operator/Applicant must <br />include the following information: <br />(a) specify the estimated dates that mining will commence and end. If the operation is <br />intended to be an intermittent operation as defined in C.R.S. 34-32.5-103(11)(b), the <br />Applicant should include in this exhibit a statement that conforms to the provisions of <br />Section 34-32.5-103 (11) (b), C.R.S. : <br />(b) the estimated depth of which soil, suitable as a plant growth medium, will be <br />salvaged for use in the reclamation process. This description must be consistent with <br />information provided in Exhibit B. Sufficient soil must be salvaged to meet the vegetation <br />establishment criteria of Rule 3.1.10. If plant growth medium is not reapplied on a <br />graded area immediately after salvage, then the Operator/Applicant must specify how the <br />topsoil will be stockpiled and stabilized with a vegetative cover or other means until used <br />in reclamation. Plant growth medium stockpiles must be located separate from other <br />stockpiles, out of the way of mine traffic and out of stream channels or drainage ways. <br />The location of plant growth medium stockpiles must be shown on Exhibit E - Map; <br />(c) speck the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if any, to be removed <br />to reach the deposit. The location of any overburden stockpiles of waste rock fills must <br />be shown on Exhibit E - map; <br />(d) specify the thickness of the deposit to be mined. <br />(e) describe the major components of the mining operation such as: roads and access <br />routes, pit, office, shop/maintenance buildings, plant, processing facilities, and any <br />underground openings such as adits or ventilation facilities. These components must be <br />located on Exhibit E - Map; <br />(fi specify the dimensions of any significant disturbances to the land surface such as pit <br />excavations, mine benches, impoundments, stockpiles, waste rock disposal areas, etc; <br />(g) specify the dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that will be used for the <br />mining operation. Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads and the <br />specifications to be used in the construction of new roads. New or improved roads must <br />be included as part of the permitted acreage. Describe any associated drainage and
