MINING PLAN EXHIBIT C (CONT) <br />We plan to start mining the eastern end of the stockpiled <br />material, the north east corner of the permitted area. At this <br />point we will clean up the stock piles to the original ground <br />level, as each stock pile is cleaned up, we will spread the top <br />soil and seed. The mining will progress to the west, working <br />from the south side of the stock piles, leaving the road side <br />burms to be processed last. The mining operation will leave a <br />level area that would reflect the original ground surface. As <br />the stock piled rock sits on a gravel alluvial, there will be a <br />ditch and short burm on the perimeter of the permitted area to <br />divert any run off to a retention pit. <br />The material will be used to supply construction rip rap and <br />pit run to our clients. The land will remain rangeland as mining <br />progresses and once reclamation is complete the area will be <br />reseeded so it will have the same use as now exists. Initially, <br />the mine will be sloped so all surface water runoff can be <br />contained on the site until reclamation is complete. All storm <br />water on the site will be directed into the active mine area and <br />there will be no discharge or impounding of water. <br />Any topsoil will be placed around the mine setback or mine floor <br />for use in reclamation. Resoiling and shaping will run <br />concurrent with mining so that if mining ended prematurely there <br />should be little or no work needed for final clean up. <br />Of the 9.99 acres +/- in the permit area, approximately 9.1 <br />acres has stock piled material on it, .8 acres will be used for <br />set back and road. The set backs are 10' wide and are shown on <br />the Mining Plan Map. <br />The screening operation will be placed as close to the stock <br />piles as possible, and will moved as the stock piles are be used <br />up. After the large rock is sorted out, the remainder will be <br />screened using a trac hoe, loader, and a screen. The RECLAMATION <br />MAP - E -2 shows how we think the area will look when mining is <br />complete and reclamation is done. <br />On site equipment may include, but not limited to, a motor <br />grader, front end loader, dozer, conveyors, and a screen plant, <br />dump trucks and water truck. Processing will be done on site to <br />build material stock piles that will be removed as needed. <br />23 <br />
