EXHIBIT C Pre-Mining& Mining Plan Maps Refer to Exhibit C, Sheets 1 & 2, on the following pages for Pre-Mining Existing Conditions and Mining Operations and Conditions. EXHIBIT D Mining Plan a) Method of Mining The Pawnee Aggregate Mine will be a standard truck and loader operation.The main operating unit will consist of a crusher and screening unit and a conveyor staking unit which will place the screened material into product type stockpiles. As material is sold from the operation a truck scale will be used to record and bill the material sales. b) Earth Moving Overburden will be removed by dozer and truck and loader operation.Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled separately for replacement at the time of reclamation.To remove overburden, the dozer will initially rip the material and either doze the material into a spoil lift or into a stockpile for the truck and loader operation. No explosives are anticipated to be used. The gravel zone, which ranges from 9 to 11 feet in thickness, will be mined with the truck and loader units. The trucks will transport the material to the crusher/screening area for product sizing specifications. Stackers will place the material into selected stockpiles. c) Water Diversions and Impoundments Rain and snow melt are expected to be quickly absorbed into the zones. In areas where sheet flow can be expected, swales and berms will be designed and constructed to transport the flows into the natural drainage areas.Water will be present on the site to control dust on the haul roads and for the screening and crushing area. A water quality pond or similar feature will be used to handle the first flush flows prior to release in the natural drainage areas. d) Size of Area to be Worked The Mining Plan (Exhibit C,Sheet 2 of 2) shows the proposed location of affected areas due to mining, transport, processing and soil stockpiling.The proposed mining areas are split into 4 main "phases" showing the progression of mining activities, with Area 4 not to be worked until County Road 112 is relocated. In order to produce 100,000 annual tons of material within specifications, approximately 140,000 tons of the gravel zone must be mined out.The gravel occurs in a zone roughly 10 feet thick that is covered with up to 10 feet of loess and topsoil.The gravel zone occurs on top of a hard sandstone layer which forms a 1 hard surface that limits deeper excavation.This hard sandstone layer is located at approximately elevation 5,235 feet above sea level,which is the proposed limits of mining, as shown on Exhibit C. The total acreage to be disturbed from the operation is 77.2 acres. The size of areas to be worked at any given time is approximately 6 to 7 acres, though final reclamation will occur only at the completion of all mining activity. e) Timetable The various stages of the operation are as follows, and are described in further detail below: 1. Pre-development 2. Development 3. Operations 4. Reclamation 1. Pre-development Pre-development activities include securing all necessary permits and completing exploration of the deposit to determine the true quantity and quality of the gravel reserve. Weld County regulations will require a site specific Development Review Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility, including Open Pit Gravel Mining in the A(Agricultural)Zone District for the following described real estate being parcel. In addition to the Weld County Permits and Approvals, a State of Colorado Reclamation Permit will be required for the extraction of Construction Materials from the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. 2. Development Development activities will include pre-stripping of the gravel zone, processing site construction and establishment of crushed and screened material stockpiles. Pre-stripping activities will provide material for construction of a 30 foot wide access road from Weld County Road 99 into the processing area as well as a 24 foot wide, 5%grade haul road from the processing area into the mining zone.The processing area will contain a crusher,screening and staking machine or machines, a truck scale and an office trailer for a site attendant.A 3 wire barb wire fence will be erected for cattle and wild life protection. A water quality feature and diversion swales and berms will also be established. 3. Operations Operations consist of normal stripping and mining of the gravel deposit and reclamation of the spoil overburden that has been placed in the final deposit zone. 2 Normally,the seasonal stripping and mining operation would be scheduled for approximately three summer months.The actual schedule would be dictated by material sales. For the purpose of this discussion, 100,000 tons of within-specification material sales shall be used to dictate duration of operations throughout the summer months. The approximately three month long mining operations would consist of dozer operations plus truck loader transport of spoils to spoil stockpiles and gravel to the processing area for screening and crushing. No high wall mining will be used. Cut slopes will normally be 1/2 horizontal to 1 vertical. Spoil slopes will be no steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical.The processed material would be stockpiled by stacking conveyors to select stockpiles.A water truck would be used for dust control. It is anticipated that the 3 months of operations would develop stockpiled material that would be sufficient for ongoing sales throughout the off mining months. 4. Reclamation Reclamation activities would continue normally after the mining months into the late fall. No operations other than sales would occur during the winter months. f) Deposit The gravel pay zone occurs in a calcareous gravelly alluvium and is generally 9 to 11 feet in thickness.The overburden consists of silty sandy loess that varies in thickness over the area.The gravel beds lie on top of a weathered sandstone formation. It is estimated that approximately 800,000 to 1,000,000 tons of recoverable gravel occur in the area of consideration. g) No other primary or secondary commodities are to be mined or extracted. h) No incidental products are to be mined/extracted by the proposed operation. i) No explosives are anticipated to be used in the operation. 3 EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan a) Reclamation Methods The general mining reclamation plan consists of a backfill operation that moves the overburden and waste material back into the mined out areas to be used for final reclamation.After material is stockpiled in rough piles, nearly all disturbed areas will be smoothed out to resemble a natural- looking slope,then seeded with native grasses and mulched with straw.The staging process, final condition and seeding requirements are outlined on Exhibit F Reclamation Map. Mining Areas: It is anticipated that it will take approximately 1 to 3 years for mined out areas to be available for backfilling. During this time, spoil benches will be created by dozing material into 50 foot benches at the edge of mining, at a 3H:1V angle of repose. Once mined out areas are available to receive overburden material,the unused soil will be deposited by truck and loaders into approximately 10 to 15 foot high piles with 3H:1V side slopes, as shown on Exhibit F. Stockpiling activities will be ongoing by depositing waste material into mined out areas, as necessary and as the areas become available. Final reclamation will continue by grading and shaping the overburden piles into gently rolling topography and reseeding areas that been graded out to final slopes. At the end of the mining operation, it is anticipated that reclamation activities will continue for 1 year after the mine closure to smooth out all stockpiles, spread topsoil and seed. Processing Site& Haul Roads: At the end of mining operations, reclamation will also occur for the haul road and processing site. The haul road and any stockpile areas will be graded out to pre-mining condition,or as shown on Exhibit F, and reseeded.Any buildings or machinery on the processing site will be removed; the area spread with topsoil and seeded.The site will remain graded at a 2%slope.The gravel surfaced access road is to remain. b) Pre-&Post Mining Conditions The present land use is ranching and upon final reclamation the post mining use will revert back to ranching.The final reclamation slopes and most of the grading areas will be of gentler slopes than originally present.As such,the area will provide an improved ranching environment. 1 11. No groundwater contamination will occur. d) Reclamation Implementation Topsoil Preservation, Storage& Replacement: Topsoil ranges from 0 to 1 foot throughout the area. All topsoil will be stripped prior to any operation and placed in separate topsoil piles,as shown on Exhibit C. As areas are reclaimed and graded to final condition (as shown on Exhibit F),topsoil from the stockpiled areas will be placed on the graded reclaimed area minimum 4 inches thick. Extreme care will be used to prevent excessive compaction of the topsoil zone. Seeding: Final seeding will occur in the topsoil zones. Seeding of the regraded and topsoil covered reclamation areas shall occur between December 15t and May 1st. If the site must be seeded outside of this date range, a long-season grain such as wheat or oats shall be planted to aid in stabilization until the reclamation seed mix (shown below) can be sowed. The area will be seeded as follows: Reclamation Seed Mix: Buffalo Grass (Texoka, Sharps Improved) 3.01bs./acre Little Bluestem 2.51bs./acre Sideoast Grama (Vaughn, Butte, Niner, El Reno, Haskell) 2.O lbs./acre Blue Grama (Hachital, Lovington) 3.01bs./acre Sand Dropseed 0.51bs./acre Switchgrass 2.0lbs./acre Western Wheatgrass(Arriba, Barton, Rasana) 1.Olbs./acre Total: 14 lbs pls/acre **Other addition: Mycorrhiza to coast the seed at time of planting. Mulching: After the disturbed areas are reseeded, straw mulch will be crimped in at a rate 2 tons/acre. 70%of the straw must be strands of 10 inches or more. Irrigation: The Reclamation Seed Mix is not required to be watered as irrigation may end up harming the development and germination of the grasses. Reclamation seeding may take up to 3 to 5 years to fully stabilize. Silt fence and erosion control measures shall remain in place until a healthy stand of vegetation has been established. 3 EXHIBIT F Reclamation Plan Map Refer to Exhibit F on the following page for the Reclamation Plan Map. EXHIBIT G Water Information (1) The Pawnee Aggregate site does not lie within any FEMA—designated floodplains or floodways. Ground water is neither present nor expected in the mine zones;therefore dewatering would not be anticipated. The site will be a dry pit and the operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems. There are no existing or planned surface water impoundments at the Pawnee Aggregate Site. (2) Operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems. (3) Water needs for the gravel mining and processing operations are expected to be minimal. The Landowner owns substantial water rights under and adjacent to the proposed mine area. The Operator shall be allowed to use such industrial permitted water for dust control via water trucks. (4) Water needs for the operation are expected to be minimal. (5) The Operator will apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health. The Operator will supply the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety a copy of the permit once completed. EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information (1) The property is periodically grazed for beef cattle. Typical wildlife consists of antelope, coyote, rabbit, birds, and reptiles. None of these are known to be endangered or threatened. (2) Mining operations shall cause temporary closure of the area to cattle and larger wildlife. Reclamation of the site will revegetate the surface and cattle and wildlife may once again use the site for grazing once mining is complete. EXHIBIT I Soils Information See attached soils report.

The map unit descriptions in this report, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils.Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes.Consequently,every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. The Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated) report displays a generated description of the major soils that occur in a map unit. Descriptions of non-soil (miscellaneous areas)and minor map unit components are not included. This description is generated from the underlying soil attribute data. Additional information about the map units described in this report is available in other Soil Data Mart reports,which give properties of the soils and the limitations, capabilities,and potentials for many uses.Also,the narratives that accompany the Soil Data Mart reports define some of the properties included in the map unit descriptions.

Greeley experiences a semi-arid climate (Koppen BSk). High temperatures are generally around 90°F- 950F (32°C) in the summer and 40°F-45°F (4°C) in the winter, although there is significant variation. The hottest days generally occur around the third week of July and the coldest in January. Nighttime lows are near 60°F(16°C) in the summer and around 15°F-20°F(-9°C) in the winter. Record high temperatures of 106°F (41 °C) have been recorded, as have record low temperatures of-25°F (-32°C). The first freeze typically occurs around October 10 and the last can be as late as May 1. Extra tropical cyclones which disrupt the weather for the eastern two-thirds of the US often originate in or near Colorado, which means Greeley does not experience many fully developed storm systems. Warm fronts, sleet, and freezing rain are practically non-existent here. In addition, the city's proximity to the Rocky Mountains and lower elevation, compared to the mountains west of the city, result in less precipitation and fewer thunderstorms.This is paradoxical, because adjacent areas (mostly farmland) experience between 7 and 9 hail days per year. The climate in Greeley,as well as all of Colorado, is extremely dry. The Chinook winds coming off the mountains often raise temperatures to near 70°F (21°C) in January and February, and sometimes to near 90°F (32°C) in April. Greeley's elevation and low year-round humidity means that nighttime low temperatures are practically never above 68°F (20°C),even in the very hottest part of the summer. The diurnal temperature range is usually rather wide, with a 50- degree (Fahrenheit) difference between daytime high and nighttime low not uncommon, especially in the spring and fall months. Rapid fluctuation in temperature is also common -a sunny 80°F (27°C) October afternoon can easily give way to a 28°F (-2°C) night.

It is anticipated that no ponds will be constructed or remain on site. The anticipated average thickness of overburden is minimal. Overburden and excavated soil materials unsuitable for road construction will be used to backfill excavated areas and for site re- grading to stable slopes. Stockpiled topsoil will be placed on re-graded areas prior to re-seeding with approved plant type seed mixes.
