formed by the historic occupation of the South Platte River. Today, the river lies about <br />2,000 feet to the south of the southern permit boundary. The alluvium ranges up to <br />about 14 feet in depth and lies disconformably over sedimentary units of the Pierre <br />Formation. <br />Mining Plan <br />It is planned that operations will continue in the operations existing area located <br />on the southeast side of the site and work in a general direction toward the west. A <br />dozer, loader and/or excavator will be used to mine the aggregate. The operation will <br />be mined so as to not to permanently expose the water table. According to the current <br />lessee, ground water lies at a depth ranging from about 10 to 12 feet, depending on <br />location. <br />One or more product stockpiles will be located at convenient locations within <br />the disturbed area and moved as necessary to accommodate the operation as it <br />progresses. Product stockpiles will then be depleted as necessary. <br />It is anticipated that the site will be mined less than one hundred eighty (180) <br />days per year. <br />Processing <br />Processing will occur on site. Following extraction, the aggregate will be <br />crushed and screened. The product will be used for road base and the manufacture of <br />other aggregate products, including asphalt (an asphalt plant currently exists) and <br />possibly redi-mix concrete at a later time <br />If a redi-mix concrete plant is located on <br />site, aggregate washing may also occur. <br />Processing will occur in the general area illustrated on the Exhibit C map, <br />except that the crushing equipment may move as necessary to accommodate the <br />mining operation. The redi-mix concrete plant will likely be located near the asphalt <br />plant, but its specific setting is uncertain. Wash water for aggregate washing, if done, <br />-5-
