c} Mining Plan and Operating Plan The removal of the sand will be on a year round basis except for poor or bad winter conditions with the majority of the sand being removed during the spring to winter period. Upon approval of permit the removal of the sand deposits will take three years and total reclamation should be completed within two years. Equipment to be used at the project site consists of: 1 water truck, 1 wheel loader, 1 land leveling scraper d) Topsoil/Overburden The topsoil is to be excavated and hauled from field, as it is too sandy. The sandy materials will be stockpiled on-site and sold for commercial uses. After, excavation the agricultural field will be lowered at a 1.5 foot average from existing levels. No outside fill material will be used at the project site. No resoiling is needed as the dirt below the sandy topsoil is more suitable for farming. e) Mine Waste There will be no waste discharge associated with the excavation permit. All excavated materials will either be processed or used for reclamation. f) Size Total acres to be permitted is 40.9 acres Total acres to be disturbed is 40.9 acres Total acres to be reclaimed is 40.9 acres g) Water Requirements Daily consumption 3500—7000 gallon per day during summer period. Fall and spring 3500 gallons per day. No water usage during the winter time. Water is to be obtained from existing well on ranch with an overhead water stand for the loading of the water to be used. No processing of any water at this site. Only water will be used for dust control. No underground storage, above ground ponds or ground water recharging will occur at this site. h) Contaminants The only contaminant would be the diesel fuel to be used in the water truck and wheel loader. The fuel is to be stored in a 1,000 gallon self contained storage tank. 3
