MINING PLAN EXHIBIT C <br />than one growing season a cover crop of Crested Wheatgrass will <br />be planted at a rate of 3.0 lbs pls/200 Ft2. <br />Of the 9.99 acres ± in the permit area, approximately 8.57 <br />acres ± will be disturbed or mined. Of this area 3.41 acres is <br />part of the old mine and 5.16 acres is in area that will be <br />mined. There will be 1.42 acres ± of setbacks around the mined <br />area. These setbacks are shown on the Mining Plan Map and are 15 <br />feet wide except in the per law disturbed area. The material <br />will be used to supply construction material and pit run fill <br />material to our clients. The primary land use at this time is a <br />storage area, but the disturbed area will be seeded and reclaimed <br />as rangeland until we determine how to develop the site. <br />The sand and gravel will be excavated using frontend <br />loaders, excavators and dozers. Mining will be done by loading <br />material into trucks or the processing plant with a frontend <br />loader. The RECLAMATION MAP-E-2 shows how the area will look when <br />mining ends. On-site equipment may include, but is not limited <br />to, a motor grader, front-end loader(s), an excavator, a <br />dozer(s), conveyors, a screening plant, dump trucks and a water <br />truck. <br />Processing will be done on site to build material stockpiles <br />that will be removed as needed. This will create large <br />stockpiles of specification aggregates on the site as mining <br />progresses. Once there is an adequate supply, the processing <br />plant will be moved to another site and the processed material <br />will be removed as needed. The mine will operate year around <br />with periods of inactivity when adverse weather conditions exist <br />or there is no demand for material. No estimate can be made on <br />how long these periods of inactivity will be, but some may last <br />up to 6 months or more. <br />The bond estimate presented on Page 26 shows the amount of <br />land that will be disturbed as a worse case scenario. As mining <br />progresses we expect to have no more that 400 feet of working <br />face that would need shaping at any one time. The exterior <br />slopes will be graded 3h to lv as mining progresses thru the <br />deposit. The floor of the mine will be graded so it is level as <br />shown on Map Exhibit E-2. <br />Little or no water will be used at the site. If dust <br />control water is used it will be obtained from sources Colorado <br />Backhoe Service has available and approved for that use. <br />24
