the maps provided on Exhibits B and C are based on GCC's best current projections, but remain <br />subject to possible deviations in order to preserve the flexibility required for GCC to optimally <br />operate its plant. <br />2. Plant Area. Construction of the cement production facility has largely been <br />completed. The majority of items including establishing final site grade, drainage, and <br />stabilization of the plant area were completed in October, 2008. Grade work has been performed <br />in ancillary staging and parking areas disturbed by construction. GCC will continue to work <br />diligently at completing these tasks and anticipates that the majority of this remaining work will <br />be completed by the end of 2009. <br />GCC has performed erosion stabilization within the plant area of construction related <br />ground disturbance. Stabilization work has included covering these areas with rock mulch. In <br />all, approximately 75 acres of ground disturbance throughout the plant area have been stabilized <br />using this technique <br />Other items on which GCC is actively working include reclamation activities for <br />approximately 12 acres of ground disturbance associated with temporary construction trailers <br />and parking areas. These areas have been ripped to relieve compaction and roughened to prepare <br />these areas for seeding. GCC anticipates that these areas will be seeded prior to the 2010 Spring <br />growing season. <br />3. Plant Entrance Road. Construction of a concrete two lane, approximately two <br />mile plant entrance road from Lime Road to the plant site, as well as a two lane bridge over the <br />St. Charles River, has been completed. Both the road and the bridge are in full use. In order to <br />facilitate the construction of such plant entrance road and bridge, a temporary haul road and <br />temporary bridge were put into place to provide access to the construction site. Stabilization and <br />reclamation of ground disturbances associated with the temporary plant road and temporary <br />bridge as well as other ground disturbances associated with construction activities have been <br />completed. Reclamation techniques have included the use of a computer based geomorphic <br />modeling technique. This technique provides the ability to perform advanced surface runoff <br />modeling and is able to design durable and more aesthetically pleasing drainage structures that <br />more closely resemble surrounding undisturbed areas. <br />4. Rail Spur and Rail Yard. A rail spur leading from the main rail line into the plant <br />area has been completed including tying this spur into the main rail line and the plant rail yard. <br />Stabilization and reclamation of remaining ground disturbance associated with construction of <br />the rail spur has been completed. As with the plant road, geomorphic modeling was used to <br />design final land forms, drainages, and topography of these areas. <br />Construction of the plant rail yard has been completed. Stabilization of the side slopes of <br />the rail yard have been completed by armoring these slopes with rock mulch as well as placing <br />rock mulch around the base of the rail yard. GCC anticipates that any remaining stabilization <br />and reclamation of construction-related ground disturbances will be completed by the end of <br />2009.
