MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D (cont) <br />Area, which is also where the portable processing equipment will <br />be located. <br />OPERATIONS /PROCESSING CHANGES #2 <br />This amendment removes the fixed Plant Site located on the <br />northern end of old Phase 2 and changes the plan so that material <br />processing will move with the mining face. This allows us to load <br />material directly from the mine face to the portable processing <br />plant and reduces the raw material haul distance. The final <br />product stockpiles will remain near the mine face until they have <br />been hauled from the site. We estimate the portable Plant Site <br />will cover 10.0 acres ± at any one time. An additional 3.70 acres <br />will be used as a temporary equipment storage area in the vicin- <br />ity of the working plant site area. <br />The existing fixed Plant Site will become part of the new <br />Transload Area described in the amended Reclamation Plan in <br />Exhibit E. The scales will remain in their present location <br />adjacent to the north haul road for the life of the mine and will <br />remain as part of the Transload Area for final reclamation. The <br />L.G. Everist mine operation scale house /office will be moved <br />slightly south and to the west side of our shop building. A <br />second office will be placed east of the shop for the Transload <br />Area operations. The buildings and scale will remain after <br />reclamation is complete to provide support services to the <br />Transload Area. <br />None of the ponds at Carr intersect the groundwater table. <br />Most were used as settling ponds for sand and gravel processing <br />wash water, and two were used for water storage. All of the <br />ponds that were used for sand and gravel material processing will <br />be reclaimed. They have already been partially filled with fine <br />material left during processing and will be further stabilized <br />and returned to original grade, so that the area can be useable <br />as part of the Transload Area. <br />The two ponds used for water storage will remain as part of <br />the amended final reclamation and will continue to be used for <br />dust control on the mine site and then will remain after mining <br />and reclamation is complete, to provide dust control water for <br />the Transload Area. The water is pumped from well #52769 -F and <br />said well is adjudicated for these uses. <br />MINE ENTRANCE AND INTERIOR ROAD CHANGES <br />The former reclamation plan showed no roads remaining within <br />the site as part of final reclamation. This amendment changes the <br />4 <br />
