Exhibit D- Mining Plan
6.4.4 EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan
The mining plan shall supply the following information, correlated with the affected
lands, map(s) and timetables:
(a) description of the method(s) of mining to be employed in each stage of the
operation as related to any surface disturbance on affected lands;
(b) earthmoving;
(c) all water diversions and impoundments; and
(d) the size of area(s) to be worked at any one time.
(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for
the purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation
during the different phases of a mining operation. An Operator/Applicant shall
not be required to meet specific dates for initiation, or completion of mining in a
phase as may be identified in the timetable. This does not exempt an
Operator/Applicant from complying with the performance standards of Section
3.1. If the operation is intended to be an intermittent operation as defined in
Section 34-32.5-103(11)(b), C.R.S., the Applicant should include in this exhibit a
statement that conforms to the provisions of Section 34-32.5-103(11)(b), C.R.S.
Such timetable should include:
(i) an estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various
stages or phases of the operation;
(ii) a description of the size and location of each area to be worked during
each phase; and
(iii) outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of the operation will
be carried out. (Timetables need not be separate and distinct from the
mining plan, but may be incorporated therein.)
(f) A map (in Exhibit C - Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Maps(s) of Affected Lands,
Subsection 6.4.3) may be used along with a narrative to present the following
information:
(i) nature, depth and thickness of the deposit to be mined and the thickness
and type of overburden to be removed (may be marked
"CONFIDENTIAL," pursuant to Paragraph 1.3(3)); and
(ii) nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in
sedimentary deposits.
(g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and
describe the intended use; and
(h) name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be
mined/extracted by the proposed operation.
(i) Specify if explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining (or reclamation).
In consultation with the Office, the Applicant must demonstrate pursuant to
Subsection 6.5(4), Geotechnical Stability Exhibit, that offsite areas will not be
adversely affected by blasting.
Note: For additional information on features and areas described, please refer to
Exhibit C-1: Existing Conditions Map and C-2: Extraction Map.
