?- 15QLl-loo <br />Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />D ?s <br />This is a Section 110 to Section 112 conversion application to permit No. M-84- <br />101. The area to be added is contiguous to the existing permit area. <br />Location and Setting <br />The Chaparral Meadows Pit is a sand and gravel mine. The site is located in <br />Park County about 5.1 miles east of Hartsel. Except for a gravel county road and the <br />mining operation itself, all areas surrounding the site are vacant , undeveloped land. <br />Access <br />County Road 59 will be used to access the permit area. Thereafter, access <br />within the permit area will be located as necessary. As the operation expands <br />westward, an additional entrance may be created. If created, the additional access will <br />be similar the the existing one and consist of a cut in the fence for direct access to the <br />permit area. The Exhibit C map illustrates the current entrance and access road. <br />Soil Salvage <br />Prior to disturbing an area, topsoil will be first stripped and stockpiled for- use in <br />reclamation. The depth of the surface soil to be stripped will average about six inches. <br />Additional information regarding the site's soil resources is provided in Exhibit I - Soils <br />Information. <br />Stockpiling will generally occur near the perimeter of the area to be disturbed. <br />The Exhibit C map illustrates current and anticipate stockpile placement locations. As <br />a stabilization measure, soil stockpiled for longer than one year will be broadcast <br />seeded with a perennial grass species. <br />Natural of the Deposit <br />The material to be mined consists of relict alluvial sand and gravel deposits <br />-4-
