Banks and Gesso LLC <br />Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />Overview <br />The Proctor Pit includes 50 acres in the mining and processing area and a one-acre <br />access road for a total of 51 acres in the permit boundary. <br />A portion (29.9 acres) of the proposed permit is now included in a Special Operations <br />permit M-2004-055 with a $75,000 financial warranty. Upon approval of this application <br />and acceptance of a new financial warranty, we request that the M-2004-055 permit be <br />terminated and the financial warranty be released and replaced 'by the new 112 <br />warranty. <br />The existing affected area is approximately 13 acres and is labeled on the Pre-Mining <br />Plan Map (Exhibit C-1). The total affected area, including the access road, is <br />approximately 45.5 acres. The reclamation of the property will be done concurrently with <br />mining as mining progresses generally south. . <br />Methods of Mining <br />The existing disturbance from the Special Operations permit will serve as the initial <br />gravel plant and stockpile area. The material will be mined by front end loaders, which <br />will feed the crusher. The crushing and screening equipment will be portable and move <br />through the pit near the mining face. <br />Scrapers or front loaders will strip the overburden/topsoil of zero to four inches. The <br />overburden from the current stripping will be placed on the previous mined area for <br />reclamation. The existing road base reject stockpile on the east side of the pit will be <br />retained for reclamation. The existing overburden stockpile on the north side of the pit <br />will be used in initial reclamation prior to the import of other reclamation fill material. <br />No groundwater will be encountered by the mining. No surface water drainages pass <br />through the mining area, thus no diversions are necessary. The existing access road <br />crosses a broad drainage area (700 feet wide), which contains no defined channel or <br />flow route. Since the beginning of the Special Operations mine, no water has been <br />All-Rite Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc. . 09002 <br />Proctor Pit 7 July, 2009
