g) The site is small enough that any internal haul roads will be minimal. They <br />would be reclaimed when the mine is closed. No new access road will be <br />built since the landowner has one in place from Co. Rd. W to the site. <br />h) No water is anticipated in conjunction with the operation. Mining will not be <br />close to any groundwater. There could be instances when heavy rainfall <br />makes the site too muddy to continue. At those times, mining will simply <br />cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine again. <br />i) Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. A local stock well log <br />shows that water is at least 66' blow ground surface. <br />j ) <br />Since no water is to be used, there should be no injury to existing water rights. <br />k) No refuse, acid, or toxic producing materials are anticipated at the site. Other <br />mining enterprises in this part of Kit Carson County have never yielded any <br />such materials. <br />1) The finished pit will be returned to farmland. There should be no disturbance <br />to the hydrologic balance. <br />m) Processing of the material is not anticipated at the site. <br />n) The commodities to be mined are gravel, clay, and sand. <br />o) The mined materials will primarily be used for road material or other <br />construction projects. <br />p) No explosives will be used in this operation. <br />EXHIBIT D — Reclamation Plan <br />The primary reclamation plan for the pit is to slope all areas at a slope no steeper than <br />3:1. The entire pit area will have topsoil replaced, then be returned to dry land farming. <br />a) The pit area has topsoil averaging 4" in depth. That topsoil will be stockpiled <br />and returned during the reclamation process. <br />b) Slopes no greater than 3:1 will be left in the completed pit. <br />c) There are no other reclamation treatments to note for this site. <br />
