EXHIBIT D- MINING PLAN (a) Description of the method(s)of mining to be employed in each stage of the operation as related to any surface disturbance on affected lands; This site has been mined under an approved 110 permit since 2012. It is being converted to a 112 Reclamation permit due to a slight increase in acreage. The total permitted area will now be approximately 12.55 acres. Mining began in the southern portion of the site and will proceed north. (b) Earthmoving; Scrapers stripped the topsoil and overburden material and stockpiled them separately along the northern and eastern perimeters of the property for use during site reclamation. Any excess material not needed for reclamation may be sold or hauled off-site during the life of the mine. The topsoil will be seeded if it is left undisturbed for more than one growing season. The site will be mined in one phase using scrapers, bulldozers, front-end loaders, excavators, or similar type equipment. Material excavated in this mine area will be transported by haul truck to the south end of the site for processing. The material will be crushed and stockpiled on the south portion of the site. The operator may import material from other sites. The applicant is aware that in accordance with Rule 3.1.5(9) of the Construction Material Rules and Regulations, if any offsite material is used as backfill, a notarized letter will be submitted to the Division indicating the materials are inert. The applicant will supply such a letter to the Division if, at the time of Reclamation,the applicant intends to use off-site material as backfill. (c) All water diversions and impoundments;and It is not anticipated that this operation will impact surface or groundwater. A water truck will be assigned to the site when in operation for dust control. Water will be sourced from an industrial well leased by the operator approximately 2 miles north in Wyoming. An estimated 6,000 gallons per day will be used for dust control. Stormwater will be contained on site by berming the low side perimeter and directing water through a culvert. Stormwater will be controlled on site and released in a controlled manner to not damage off site areas in accordance with the operation's stormwater management plan. North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit Wage NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION (d) The size of area(s)to be worked at any one time. The entire 12.55-acre site will be mined in one phase. (e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for the purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation during the different phases of a mining operation. It is estimated that mining will be completed within six years, but the life of the operation is dependent on market demand. It may take up to an additional twelve months to reclaim the site. (f) Use Mining Plan Map in conjunction with narrative to present: (L) Nature, depth and thickness of the deposit and thickness and type of overburden to be removed The thickness of the topsoil is 1 Yz feet to 2 feet. The sand and gravel resource is an alluvial deposit that ranges in depth from approximately ten to 16 feet. (L) Nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in sedimentary deposits The stratum immediately beneath the sand and gravel deposit is claystone with lenses of siltsone and sandstone bedrock. (g) Identify the primary and secondary commodities to be mined/extracted and describe the intended use. The primary commodities are sand, gravel and fill; intended for construction materials. (h) Name and describe the intended use of all expected incidental products to be mined/extracted by the proposed operation. There are no expected incidental products to be mined. (i) Specify if explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining(or reclamation) No explosive material will be used on-site. North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit 4 I P a g e NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION EXHIBIT E - RECLAMATION PLAN (a) A description of the type(s)of reclamation the Operator proposes to achieve in the reclamation of the affected land, why each was chosen, the amount of acreage accorded to each, and a general discussion of methods of reclamation as related to the mechanics of earthmoving; Upon completion of mining the slopes will be shaped to a maximum slope of 4:1 to connect with the existing grade on the perimeter of the property. The land will be seeded to the grass mixture noted on the reclamation plan and returned to pasture land. (b) A comparison of the proposed post-mining land use to other land uses in the vicinity and to adopted state and local land use plans and programs. The proposed pasture is compatible with the other land uses in the vicinity, which is essentially agricultural land. (c) A description of how the Reclamation Plan will be implemented to meet each applicable requirement of Section 11. The Operator will carry reclamation to completion with reasonable diligence. The site reclamation will be completed within approximately one year from completion of mining, but not more than five years from the date the Operator informs the Board or Office that such phase has commenced. Section 11.5 Reclamation Measures Material Handling: Grading of the upland area will be consistent with the existing pre-mining grades in this area which is appropriate for this use. When backfilling the upland, the operator will use overburden and non-saleable soils compacted for stability. Grading will be performed to help control erosion and siltation of the affected lands through phased mining, implementing good operation techniques to handle material as little as possible, and vegetation of stockpiles remaining in place for more than one growing season. Although the use of erosion protection devices is not anticipated, if deemed necessary by the operator at the time of excavation, silt fence and haybale dams will be installed to prevent erosion. Backfilling and grading will be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process is complete for each phase. Maximum slopes and slope combinations will be compatible with the configuration of surrounding conditions and land use. Mining will be done at a slope that is stable but maximizes gravel extraction in the permit area. Section 3.1.6 Water-General Requirements: The Operator will comply with applicable Colorado water laws governing injury to existing water rights and with applicable state and federal water quality and dredge and fill laws and regulations. Section 3,1.7 Groundwater-Specific Requirements: It is not anticipated that this operation will impact any groundwater. North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit 5 I P a g e NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION Section 3.1.8 Wildlife: The mining and reclamation plans have been designed to account for the safety and protection of wildlife on the mine site. Currently there is no significant vegetation or topographic stratification that contributes to wildlife habitat. The proposed seed mix will provide food, cover and nesting areas for wildlife. Section 3.1.9 Topsoiling: Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Topsoil stockpiles shall be stored in places and configurations to minimize erosion and located in areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operations will be minimized. Once stockpiled,topsoil shall be re-handled as little as possible. Stockpiles that will remain in- place for more than one growing season will receive vegetative cover to minimize erosion. Section 3.1.10 Revegetation: The land shall be revegetated in a manner that establishes a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Refer to the Reclamation Plan map for the proposed seed-mix. Section 3.1.11 Buildings and Structures: No buildings will be impacted by this proposal. Section 3.1.12 Signs and Markers: The Operator will post appropriate signage at the entrance to the mine site. The permit area will be marked by existing fencing, or proximity to existing County roads. d) Plans for topsoil segregation,preservation and replacement;for stabilization, compaction and grading of spoil;and for revegetation. Topsoil shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Please refer to the Mining Plan Map in Exhibit C for general locations of stockpiles. For reclamation,topsoil will be replaced by a scraper and generally graded with a blade. Grading shall be done in a manner that controls erosion and siltation of the affected land to protect areas outside the affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading shall be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. Final grading will create a final topography that is appropriate for the final land use. Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on areas disturbed by the mining. The minimum thickness shall be 6 inches above the surrounding finished grade. The topsoil shall be keyed to the underlying and surrounding material by the use of harrows, rollers or other equipment suitable for the purpose. The Operator will revegetate the land in such a manner so as to establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit Wage NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION e) A plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. Include: 1) An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or phases of reclamation. Reclamation of the site will be completed within approximately one year after mining is complete, but no longer than 5 years. Please note that the schedule is an estimate based on current market conditions. The timing may vary depending upon the demand for construction material, which may impact the life of the mining operation. 2) A description of: a. Final grading—maximum anticipated slope gradient or expected ranges thereof; The maximum anticipated slope gradient will be 4:1. 3) Seeding—types, mixtures, quantities and time of application; The operator will seed during the appropriate season to ensure adequate moisture for germination and implement weed controls to allow the grasses to successfully establish.

North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit 7 I P a g e NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION b. Revegetation—types of trees,shrubs, etc.;and No trees or shrubs will be planted as the area is too arid to naturally sustain them. c. Topsoiling—specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths for those areas where topsoil will be replaced. Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on all areas disturbed by the mining to a minimum thickness of 6 inches. WEED MANAGEMENT PLAN The operator will monitor and controlling noxious weeds mechanically, by mowing and/or discing. If necessary,weeds will be killed with a contact herbicide by a person who is certified to purchase and handle the herbicides. EXHIBIT F- RECLAMATION PLAN MAP See attached. EXHIBIT G -WATER INFORMATION The operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems. EXHIBIT H -WILDLIFE INFORMATION (1) The Operator/Applicant shall include in this Exhibit, a description of the game and non-game resources on and in the vicinity of the application area, including; a) A description of the significant wildlife resources on the affected land; There are no significant wildlife resources on the site as this site has been disturbed by mining for over 18 months. Prior to that the site was regularly disturbed as it was cultivated agricultural land (and it is surrounded by cultivated agricultural land). The NRCS characterizes this site as Loamy Plains and"Gravel Breaks"with low plant density(refer to Figure 1 on the next page for illustrative graphic). We have incorporated several of the grasses historically on the site (Little Bulestem, Sideoats Grama) into our seed mix to help improve the site's wildlife value post-reclamation. b) Seasonal use of the area; Because the site does not contain any significant wildlife resources, seasonal use of wildlife in the area is limited. c) Threatened or endangered species; The site does not contain suitable habitat for any threatened or endangered species. North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit Wage NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION d) General effect during and after the proposed operation on the existing wildlife of the area; The agricultural and mining activities on the site have limited its value to wildlife.

North Star Pit 112 Reclamation Permit 10 Page NORTH STAR PIT 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION EXHIBIT J -VEGETATION INFORMATION (a) Description of present vegetation types including estimates of cover and height of principal species in each life-form represented; This site has been mined under an approved 110 permit since May 2012. It is being converted to a 112 Reclamation permit due to a slight increase in acreage. As a result,the entire site is disturbed and there is scant vegetation. (b) Relationship of present vegetation to soil types; This site has been mined under an approved 110 permit since 2012. It is being converted to a 112 Reclamation permit due to a slight increase in acreage. As a result, the entire site is disturbed and there is scant vegetation. (c) Estimates of annual production and carrying capacity if the choice for reclamation is for range or agriculture. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS), "most areas with Peetz gravelly sandy loam soils are used as rangeland...a few areas are used as a source of gravel." The NRCS estimates that the average annual production of air-dry vegetation ranges from 500 to 1,200 pounds and that livestock grazing should be managed to maintain the desired balance of preferred species in the plant community. EXHIBIT K- CLIMATE INFORMATION (1) Provide a description of the significant climatological factors for the locality. This property is in a semi-arid continental climate strongly influenced by the Rocky Mountains. The area is usually warm in the summer with frequent hot days. In winter, periods of very cold weather are caused by arctic air moving in from the north or northwest. Milder periods occur when westerly winds are warmed as they move down slope off of the mountains to the west. Weather monitoring data is not available from the site. The nearest weather monitoring station is the Greeley UNC, Colorado, Station 053553 in the National Weather Service (NWS) cooperative network. Figure 3 on the following page lists the average minimum and maximum temperature, average total precipitation, average total snowfall and average snow depth on a monthly and annual basis. Most of the precipitation occurs as rainfall during the warmer part of the year with the heaviest rainfalls in the late spring and early summer. Winter snowfall is frequent but the snowcover usually melts quickly during the milder periods.
