pit, outside the normal flow area. The anticipated stockpile area is shown on <br />the mining plan. No processing of material is anticipated at the site. <br />f) There are no existing disturbances to describe at the site. <br />g) One short access trail to Co. Rd. NN was in place as the pit was originally <br />opened. It will be left in place when mining ceases for use by the landowner <br />in his ranching operation. No new roads will be required or improved. <br />h) No water is anticipated in conjunction with the operation. There could be <br />instances when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to continue. At those <br />times, mining will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine <br />again. <br />i) Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. <br />j) Since no water is to be used, there should be no injury to existing water rights. <br />k) No refuse, acid, or toxic producing materials are anticipated at the site. Other <br />mining enterprises in this part of Kit Carson County have never yielded any <br />such materials. <br />1) The finished pit will be returned to wildlife habitat in the area outside the <br />creek. No seeding is anticipated in the creek flow area. There should be no <br />disturbance to the hydrologic balance. <br />m) There is no processing of the material anticipated at the site. <br />n) The commodities to be mined are sand and gravel. <br />o) The mined materials will primarily be used for road construction. <br />p) No explosives will be used in this operation. <br />EXHIBIT D - Reclamation Plan <br />The primary reclamation plan for the pit is to allow the floodwaters of Bonny Creek to <br />smooth out and reclaim the creek flow area. That portion of the pit will essentially be <br />returned to being a dry, creek bed at the completion of the operation. The current creek <br />area only has a vegetative cover in dry periods. Floodwaters destroy such vegetation
