Exhibit D- Mining Plan A concrete batch plant and wet processing plant was established by the previous operator and is retained in this Amendment, and are clearly visible in Exhibit C: Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map, along with a shop, yard and supporting fuel depots, and related support areas, including a scale-house/office. Approved and final Building Permits have been obtained for these structures, and will be maintained as part of the end use of the property, unless otherwise removed by the Operator. Additionally, provisions for an asphalt batch plant and periodic use of a portable dry plant are also a necessary inclusion to operations under this permit. Thy dry plant is periodically set up near existing stockpiles within Tracts A and C, while an asphalt batch plant is merely proposed as a potential use. Known structures and landowners, including above and below ground utility owners, located on and within 200± ft. of the permit boundary are shown on Exhibit C - Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map. Exhibit S - provides certification from a registered professional engineer that these structures will not be harmed by continued operations; nor has any evidence of harm surfaced over the nearly 20± years of operations. Extraction activities will continue to remove aggregate to a mean depth of 25.0± feet, with a potential total depth to 40± feet from toe of slope (pond bottom greater than 3H:1 V from the toe of the 2H:1 V pond wall) as indicated in Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map. Anomalous depths greater than 40± feet may occur, and if removed beyond 40± feet in depth, may be extracted either dry, or wet. If extracted wet, a dredge may be utilized for the removal. Regardless, all final basin (pond) slopes will conform to Rule 3.1.5(7). The general direction of extraction activities over the diverse Tracts is shown on Exhibit C - Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map. Extraction will occur to within distances stated under Exhibit S - Permanent Man Made Structures - Protection of Existing Facilities Map. Extraction will occur to within 25± feet of well heads and facilities, and be backfilled to create a 100 foot radius around the well head for future well activities. The fill will occur concurrently with extraction around the well head and facilities, to the extent practical. At all times, safety will take precedent and over-riding Amendment to any element of the permit Amendment. The timetable for extraction activities and concurrent reclamation (refer to Exhibit E - Reclamation Plan) is as follows, commencing May 2003. While the on-set of Varra Companies, Inc.
