EXHIBIT D — MINING PLAN <br />Mining operations will continue as in the past with aggregate removal by bulldozer and front -end <br />loaders. The front -end loader will load a portable crusher. <br />Aggregate extraction operations in the future will continue from the present pit location, in <br />Section 27, with the extraction face progressing north towards the northerly boundary of the <br />permitted area. Since the current pit has been in operation for over twenty years, we feel that the <br />remainder of the permitted area will be sufficient for an additional twenty years of operation. <br />Lake County owns approximately 650 acres of land surrounding the permitted area on all sides <br />within 200 feet of the Lake County permitted area. There are no permanent structures on site or <br />within 200 feet. <br />Prior to any slopes being ready, the topsoil will be placed in berms at the edge of the pit in <br />preparation to be placed on the slope face upon reclamation. A final maximum pit depth of 45 <br />feet may be obtained if no water is encountered. Our intention is to mine above the water table <br />so the water will not be exposed and no subsurface waters will be impacted. Final slopes within <br />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 portable cone <br />crusher, screen and conveyors that will be located at the pit when stockpiling of aggregate is <br />necessary. Periodically, sand may be crushed from this pit to be utilized on public roads. <br />Lake County may store equipment for mining operations, which may include fuel tanks, storage <br />trailer, support vehicles and items commonly associated with gravel pit operations. Mobile <br />equipment may be temporarily located on the site including dump trucks, loaders, dozers and <br />scrapers. <br />
