EXHIBIT D <br />GEORGE ANSLEY PIT <br />M -1978- 078 -SG <br />MINING PLAN <br />A tracked dozer or front -end loader working from west to east or south to north <br />will push the sand and gravel being mined in this operation into a stockpile. A front -end <br />loader will then load the material from the stockpile into haul trucks. Some of the sand <br />and gravel could remain in the stockpile for several weeks. The sand and gravel will be <br />utilized in the maintenance and construction of county roads in District 3 of Lincoln <br />County. <br />Prior to removal of the sand and gravel 5 to 11 inches of topsoil will be stockpiled <br />for later use in the reclamation of the affected lands. These topsoil stockpiles will be hand <br />seeded to stabilize the piles and prevent erosion (see attached memo from Brian Johnson <br />N.R.C.S. for seed to be used, amounts and seeding seasons.) Any overburden that <br />underlies the topsoil will either be used as binder or stockpiled for later use in the <br />reclamation. These stockpiles will also be hand seeded for stabilization and to prevent <br />erosion. The maximum size area that will be mined at one time would be from 7 to 9 <br />acres. <br />This operation will be active but will be used les than 180 days per year. <br />The over burden to be removed is a mix of soil and sand and gravel that gets <br />sandier with increasing depth. The sand and gravel to be mined varies in thickness from 7 <br />to 15 feet. The material that under lays the sand and gravel is a mix of clay and sand that <br />turns to clay a great depth. <br />The primary commodity being extracted is sand and gravel. No incidental <br />products will be mined. No processing of the material will occur in the pit area. The only <br />water used in the pit area would be for dust abatement. <br />No explosives are used in either the mining or reclamation. <br />4 <br />
