Where applicable, the street address or lot number(s) may be used. EXHIBIT B - Mining Plan This can be a general discussion of the methods, equipment, phases or stages of the operation and those areas of land affected by each. The plan should be correlated with the map and should show where extraction will begin, and which direction, if any, it • will proceed. 3 EXHIBIT C - Map • This map should clearly define the permit boundaries and contain sufficient information to determine the location of the affected land on the ground and existing and proposed roads or access routes to be used in connection with the mining operation. All immediately adjacent landowners of record must be shown. The quarter section corner, section line, or any other locatable points should also be shown on this map. EXHIBIT D - Wildlife, Water Resources, Vegetation and Soils Information Each of the above-mentioned subjects must be addressed as outlined in the applicable RULE. EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan As with the mining plan, this should be a general discussion of the methods, equipment, phases or stages of the reclamation process and those portions of land affected by each.
