EXHIBIT D - MINING PLAN - TECHNICAL REVISION <br />July 2011 <br />Mining operations will continue as in the past with aggregate removal by dozer and <br />front -end loaders. The front -end loaders will load a portable crusher. <br />Aggregate extraction operations in the future will continue from the present pit location, <br />in Section 27, with the extraction face progressing north towards the northerly boundary <br />of the permitted area. Since the current pit has been in operation for over thirty years, <br />we fell the remainder of the permitted area will be sufficient for years to come. Lake <br />County owns approximately 650 acres of land surrounding the permitted area on all <br />sides of the county permitted area. There are no permanent structures on site or within <br />200 feet. <br />Prior to any slopes being ready, the topsoil will be placed in berms at the edge of the pit <br />in preparation to be place on the slope face upon reclamation. A final maximum pit <br />depth of 45 ft may be obtained if no water is encountered. Our intention is to mine <br />above the water table so the water will not be exposed and no subsurface waters will be <br />impacted. Final slopes within the mined out pit area will be no steeper than 3:1 (H:V). <br />The Airport pit aggregate will principally be used to make road base. We have a <br />portable cone crusher, screen and conveyors that will be located at the pit when <br />stockpiling of aggregate is necessary. Periodically, sand may be crushed from this pit to <br />be utilized on public roads. <br />The Airport pit will also be utilized to collect used asphalt reclaimed from paved roads <br />within the County. The asphalt will be run through our crusher and screen plant <br />producing a recycled road base material that can be utilized on public roadways. The <br />County presently has approximately 2500 cubic yards of this material stored on the pit <br />property. The County will process this material in the mornings and late in the year <br />when temperatures are below 60 degrees so the material does not become soft and <br />clog the plant. Lake County will not store more than 3000 cubic yards of material on <br />site. Lake County will continue to process existing stored material in order to keep the <br />stored quantity to a minimum. <br />Lake County may store equipment for mining operations, which may include storage <br />trailer, support vehicles and items commonly associated with gravel pit operations. <br />Mobile equipment may be temporarily located on the site including dump trucks, loaders <br />and scrapers <br />
