MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D (CGNT) <br />site. At this time the only reclamation that would be complete <br />is the resoiling and seeding on the extreme west side where <br />mining is complete. As mining progresses the working face will <br />remain stable with a near vertical sloping rate. As show on the <br />map approximately 7.52 acres has been disturbed and 1.52 acres ± <br />is reclaimed leaving 6.0 acres ± in the active mine area. <br />The processing plant will be set on a level area on the <br />east side of the mine and west of the road. By locating the <br />Plant Site in this area we reduce the haul distance for the <br />finished product and limit access to the mines working areas. <br />The final area to be mined will be the Plant Site. <br />Topsoil will be salvage from the 3.00 acre ± area to be <br />used throughout the life of the mine as the Plant Site and <br />stockpiled for later use in reclamation. Initially Tamrock will <br />hire a company to mine and process the material. Having a <br />dedicated Plant Site will allow the processing company to have a <br />fixed location to setup each time they return to mine. Material <br />will be hauled to the plant as needed using haul trucks. Associ- <br />ated uses on the Plant Site will include but is not limited to <br />equipment maintenance, equipment storage, product sales and <br />stockpiling. <br />If fuel is stored on the site a containment berm will be <br />placed around the fuel storage facility to keep a spill con- <br />tained. The size of the berm will be engineered to retain the <br />amount of fuel stored on site. There will be adequate sand to <br />absorb spills and any contaminated material will be disposed of <br />properly. Current BMP's will be used at all times on this mining <br />operation. <br />All interior pit slopes will be maintained with a pit -ward <br />attitude so that there will be no drainage off the affected land. <br />This site encompasses the top most points of the ridge so no up <br />slope stormwater can enter the site. To prevent stormwater <br />discharges from leaving the disturbed area berms, or ditches will <br />be build around the disturbed area to collect water and direct it <br />to stormwater ponds located on the mine floor. These ponds will <br />be shallow basins to encourage evaporation so no stormwater will <br />be retained on the site for more then 72 hours. No water will be <br />discharged from the pit, until we have a Colorado Pollutant <br />Discharge System (CPDS) Permit that will address any discharges <br />associated with the mining operation or stormwater as required by <br />law. <br />9 <br />
