Exhibit D- Mining Plan
6.4.4 EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan
The mining plan shall supply the following information, correlated with the affected lands,
map(s) and timetables:
(a) description of the method(s) of mining to be employed in each stage of the operation as
related to any surface disturbance on affected lands;
(b) earthmoving;
(c) all water diversions and impoundments; and
(d) the size of area(s) to be worked at any one time.
(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for the
purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation during the
different phases of a mining operation. An Operator /Applicant shall not be required to
meet specific dates for initiation, or completion of mining in a phase as may be identified
in the timetable. This does not exempt an Operator /Applicant from complying with the
performance standards of Section 3.1. If the operation is intended to be an intermittent
operation as defined in Section 34- 32.5- 103(11)(b), C.R.S., the Applicant should include
in this exhibit a statement that conforms to the provisions of Section 34- 32.5- 103(11)(b),
C.R.S. Such timetable should include:
(i) an estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or
phases of the operation;
(ii) a description of the size and location of each area to be worked during each
phase; and
(iii) outlining the sequence in which each stage or phase of the operation will be
carried out. (Timetables need not be separate and distinct from the mining plan,
but may be incorporated therein.)
(f) A map (in Exhibit C - Pre - Mining and Mining Plan Maps(s) of Affected Lands,
Subsection 6.4.3) may be used along with a narrative to present the following
information:
(i) nature, depth and thickness of the deposit to be mined and the thickness and type
of overburden to be removed (may be marked "CONFIDENTIAL," pursuant to
Paragraph 1.3(3)); and
(ii) nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in
sedimentary deposits.
(g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and describe the
intended use; and
(h) name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be
mined/extracted by the proposed operation.
(i) Specify if explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining (or reclamation). In
consultation with the Office, the Applicant must demonstrate pursuant to Subsection
6.5(4), Geotechnical Stability Exhibit, that offsite areas will not be adversely affected by
blasting.
