IV. Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />The Bromley Lake Pit site consists of an existing permitted area (with existing <br />approved Amendments and Acreage/Reductions to date) of approximately 172.5 acres of <br />active mining site along the South Platte River a little more than a mile southwest of the <br />intersection of Bromley Lane and U.S. 85 in Brighton, Colorado. The proposed new <br />expansion of the permit area consists of approximately 77.0 additional contiguous acres <br />to the east and southeast of the southerly end of the existing permitted area. In addition, <br />it is proposed that an existing adjacent pit, Ready Mixed Pit No.I comprising 38.3 acres <br />will be rolled into the Bromley Lakes Pit permit with this Amendment No. 2. Hence, the <br />proposed new total affected land with this amendment will be approximately 287.8 acres. <br />The existing permitted area is wholly owned by the City of Brighton. The <br />expansion area and existing Ready Mixed Pit No. 1 are wholly owned by Ready Mixed. <br />The expansion area is partially within City of Brighton limits and partially within <br />unincorporated Adams County. Ready Mixed Pit No. 1 is currently being annexed from <br />unincorporated Adams County into the City of Brighton. Portions of the expansion area <br />not currently within the City of Brighton will be annexed soon such that the entire new <br />permit area will be within city limits. <br />The current status of the different land components of the new, amended permit <br />area is as follows: <br />1. The existing permitted area is almost mined out except for approximately 4.5 <br />acres in the southeast corner of existing Cell No. 3 (Phase 10), which acreage <br />will be mined in conjunction with the new expansion area discussed below. <br />2. The existing permit area includes the plant, processing, stockpile and office <br />areas comprising 17.7 acres. This existing permitted area is already <br />completely disturbed, but not intended for active mining. This permit <br />amendment application seeks to add this area to the total area to be mined, but <br />does not change the total disturbed area for the existing permit area. The plant <br />is permitted to receive and process material from the contiguous Ready Mixed <br />Pit No.I (M-1985-017) to the south, and the contiguous Erger's Pond Pit (M- <br />18
