EXHIBIT D <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />CBC GRAVEL PIT <br />Production of sand and gravel at CBC Gravel Pit will commence upon issuance of permit <br />and continue until the supply of materials is exhausted or it becomes financially <br />unfeasible to mine. Estimated completion date of mining is March 2019. Final <br />reclamation of the site will be within two (2) years of last mining. This is to allow for <br />proper weather/environmental conditions favorable to the seeding of grass. <br />The overburden at the site consists of loose topsoil ranging in depth from nothing (bare <br />rock showing) to approximately three (3) feet in depth. This topsoil will be removed by <br />heavy equipment and stored in open piles at the edge of the site. It is the intent of the <br />operator to remove, segregate and protect all of the available topsoil at the site for future <br />reclamation use. <br />The underlying sandstone rock will be removed with heavy equipment and crushed on <br />site to a size suitable for roadways. The crushed and uncrushed dug rock will be stored on <br />site until needed or sold. It is presumed that the sought after sandstone rock lies roughly <br />ten (10) feet in depth. The quality, quantity and cost to mine this product will determine <br />volume of rock produced and stockpiled. These volumes will vary depending on <br />demand. <br />No more than fifty percent (50%) of the total land in this permit will be in production at <br />one time. The remaining land will be in its pre-mine (current) state, or in the process of <br />reclamation and reseeding. All the land in the permit has the potential to produce the <br />sought after sand and gravel, and so will be fully involved in the operation. Final <br />reclamation of the affected land will be two (2) years after concluding mining. <br />As shown on the accompanying maps (assessors GIS and survey) there are no buildings, <br />permanent creeks (waterways) oil or gas wells (or lines), or water wells within two <br />hundred (200) feet of the mine. There is a power line that borders Dolores County Road <br />2, east of the permit. With a buffer of near one hundred (100) feet from the edge of the <br />operation this line is in no danger from the mining operation. There is only one other <br />landowner and the mineral right owners within two hundred (200) feet of the site. The <br />immediate land surrounding the CBCI Gravel Pit is owned by the same persons as own <br />interest in the mine itself. <br />Access to the site will be from Dolores County Road C and across land owned by David <br />and Linda Cressler. There are no other recoded easements affecting the site or <br />surrounding land.
