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.

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.

Map Unit Description(Brief,Generated)—Weld County,Colorado,Northern Part Pawnee Aggregate Mine
Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated)
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. 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.

Climate Information
The Pawnee Aggregate site is classified as semi-arid and the area is similar in climate to the Greeley, CO.
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.

Reclamation Costs
Refer to the attached mine reclamation map(Exhibit F)showing the proposed gradient of all disturbed
slopes and the location of revegetation areas. 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. Final site reclamation costs include the cost of native dry land grass
seed and mulch application.
(1) The estimated costs for Reclamation will include seeding and mulching. Per the County
Vegetation Specialist, irrigation is not required.
Reclamation Seed Mix: $196/acre
Certified Weed-free Straw Mulch: $100/acre
Total Reclamation Costs(Seed & Mulch): $296/acre * 76±acres=$22,500
