(Vector) is pleased to present the attached proposal to provide monitoring and enforcement of all conditions of the Use Permit/Mining and Reclamation Permit #89-6 for the' Green Rock Quarry located in Butte County, California. Vector is a mining, geotechnical, and environmental engineering firm that ' provides consulting services associated with mine design and reclamation. Vector has extensive experience in permitting procedures, monitoring and compliance in both the mining and solid waste fields. We have been involved with mining operations ranging ' from precious metals recovery t6sand and gravel extraction. Our clientele has included both industry and governmental agencies providing us with unique insight to both aspects of the regulatory framework. ' The attached proposal describes our understanding of the project, a background of our organization, the scope of services which we can provide and an -estimate of our ' fees. We believe Vector is uniquely qualified to assist Butte County and look forward to providing our services on this interesting project. We trust this provides you with the information needed at this time. 'Should you have any questions regarding our proposal ' or require further information please do not hesitate to contact me at (916) 933-5995. Very truly yours, ; VECTOR ENGINEERING, INC ' Martha A. McDonnell P.E. Vice President 1 12438 Loma Rica Dr., Suite C 9 Grass Valley, CA 95945 9 (916) 272-2448 Fax: (916) 272-8533 ' CARSON CITY, NV 9 EL DORADO HILLS, CA PROJECT DESCRIPTION Vector understands the Green Rock Quarry encompasses 320 acres located along the south side of Coal Canyon, on the west slope of Table Mountain, about 'six miles north of the City of Oroville. The quarry mines basalt talus material of the Lovejoy Formation that has eroded from the surrounding cliffs. The primarymarket of the' extracted material is railroad ballast for, the Union Pacific Railroad. The material is mined ' using D-10 dozers and transported to a portable, on-site crusher plant. The existing ' facilities will be expanded to include a jaw -crusher, impactor, conveyor and set of - screens. Material is transported'off-site via a Union Pacific railroad spur and trucked off ' on a newly constructed roadway. We understand that the operation is projected to . produce from one to ten million tons ,per year and actual production will be market , dependant. The estimated quarry life is about fifty years. s Extension of the'original use permit was granted by the Butte County Board of '' Supervisors for a period of eight years to allow extraction of the remaining, material. Approval of the extension was contingent on various conditions being met including • reclamation plan compliance, extraction procedures, geotechnical and civil engineering ' design considerations, hours of operation and use of explosives and other. general conditions relating to operation,of the quarry. . SCOPE OF SERVICES V6ctor:s..scope__6f services willxbe--to-fundion1as-the`County's-monitoring -an, ' enforcement officer to assure all conditions of the 'use permit/mining and reclamation ;. p Cal permit (#89-6) are being met. Vector understands the .project is environmentally sensitive and it is imperative that adequate monitoring be performed to assure operator compliance. Vector will function as the liaison between the quarry operator and County personnel and provide engineering oversight to operations as they proceed. Any deviation from the use permit will be brought to the immediate attention of the County ~� and operations ceased until'brought'into compliance and/or- rriitigafion: measures are . � � .. ' implemented�0ur scope of services is anticipated to include the following: , r Observe quarry mining operations on a frequent basis to monitor hours of operation; i Verify that the operating limits of staged excavation and ^mining areas comply with the use permit; Review proposed blasting procedures and observe.blasting operation to assure licensed blasters, are used, explosive - charges do -not exceed . allowable limits and "fly -rock" is minimal; Monitor operating procedures to assure surface.runoff is adequately , handled and dust controls are implemented;. • Inspect proposed quarry expansion area and provide geotechnical input regarding slope stability and final slope configuration; Monitor reclamation operations to assure reclamation is performed according to schedule and conditions of the reclamation plan and use permit are being followed. Vector understands that the County will be responsible for monitoring air quality; however, any deficiencies observed (dust hazards) will be immediately brought to the attention of the Butte County Air Quality Control Officer. We understand that the operator will be responsible for surface and ground water quality monitoring. We recommend Vector review the applicant submitted plan for adequacy and review water quality data. PROJECT APPROACH General Vector proposes to conduct periodic site inspections to observe the applicants compliance with the use permit. Initially, for the first few months, we envision conducting bi-weekly visits to observe quarry operations. These visits will be unscheduled spot inspections to observe compliance. After the first few months we anticipate our inspections will be performed on a monthly basis. Two key individuals will be assigned to this task, Ms. Martha McDonnell and Mr. Scott Galati. Their combined diverse experience in mining, geotechnical . and environmental' engineering and permit ' compliance will enable all facets of the operation to be monitored. Inspection reports would be provided to the County describing conditions encountered and status of excavating and reclamation activities. Scheduling ' Vector's periodic inspections will be scheduled as spot visits as well as scheduled inspections to monitor quarry operations. Some of our visits will be coordinated with blasting operations to observe compliance. Vectors office is located within one hours of ' the site enabling us to respond quickly on a as -needed basis. As discussed below two project personnel will be assigned to monitoring compliance; therefore, our availability will be expanded. Vector has several individuals on staff to respond quickly to the ' Counties needs. Mine Surveying ' Vector understands the monitoring of the limits of the quarry operation is readily apparent. Vector proposes to track excavation and reclamation activities on scaled contour maps and overlay drawings. If required, Vector has the capability to perform mine surveys of property lines, lease boundaries, control points and other permanent ' features. Members of our firm have conducted such surveys for Northern California 11 t landfills and a Central Valley hazardous waste facility. - Vector has state -of -the art surveying equipment to accurately record field measurements for comparison to site aerial photography. Our expertise involves processing the information collected in the field. We have AutoCad/DCA computer capabilities as well as other computer drafting and engineering programs. We can prepare drawings showing overlays of new and old excavations as well as other site disturbances as required. We feel that this capability is crucial to accurate monitoring and inspection of mining and reclamation activity. In order to save costs, we would utilize as much existing information as possible. This would include air photos, maps, and mining plans contained in the original mining permit application and reclamation plans. Based on our staff experience, out field and computer capabilities, and our knowledge of mining operations, Vector is a highly qualified candidate to successfully perform this task. Reclamation Compliance Vector has prepared Reclamation Plans as required by. the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) and amendments by Assembly Bill AB 3551 and 3903. These amendments establish more stringent requirements for mine operators and the lead agencies that monitor them. The State Mining and Geology Board (Board) has adopted regulations that establish minimum reclamation standards. Vector is intimately familiar with the new legal requirements and can provide stringent review and enforcement.

The 4t tYPa will be scheduled from the County's and Psomas' perspective but unscheduled to the quarry operator. The second type will be emergency type of spot inspections. We can respond to these inspections within two hours of notice. Our approach to being available will be to have all three personnel (Mike, Jerry and Jim) knowledgeable of the quarry operation so that at least one of us will be available on short notice. Scheduled inspections will obviously be simple to respond to: We believe that our involvement may need to be heavy at first, but hopefully as the quarry operator learns how serious we take our task, he will begin to conform and our frequency of involvement can be lessened.

SUGGESTIONS As per our recent pre -proposal meeting, Earth Resource ' Development would like to present some concepts that we believe will benefit the regulators, quarry operator and those opposed to. - the quarry -operation. ' These observations are based on the reclamation' planning for this quarry, our discussions, a visit to the site, and -the perspectives gained from past mine operations. Sugested InspectiQn Pa a -m -e- eh ' 1. Establish baseline,data on air quality. Inspect the site prior to operations and monitor the ambient air quality for Particulate concentration along the perimeter of the Property.. ' Do the same at times that the quarry is operated. The quarry operator should not be aware that the test is being conducted. Perform the same tests in the same spots during the time when _the orchards are being tilled. These actions will establish an accurate base for determining the source of dust. It will allow remediation measures to be accurately directed, it will add to the performance database, for the county air quality standards, it will help assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures and will inform the qu"arr.y, regulators and opposition interests of the actual rather than perceived air quality at the mine site., 2._Establish baseline data water quality in the same general manner as'above, ' Note the manner in which machinery is fueled and the location Of fuel resources and note the removal of waste oil. Since -the operator utilizes a bulldozer and various mechanical devices to move material, it is prudent to provide at least one test for hydrocarbons in addition to other standard water ' tests. Also, i.f an operator were to use -waste oil to suppress dust or dispose of oil on site, ground water contamination may occur, ' 3. Encourage the officer to be courteous, helpful and willing to share any knowledge and experience gained with all parties. ' The appearance of a monitoring and enforcement officer may be taken by the miner as•a measure of over -regulation by"the county, but if the officer is courteous and knowledgeable, he ' has the opportunity to be -instrumental in improving the operation of the quarry as well as addressing the needs of the quarry. October 12, 1992 Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Butte County Administrative Office 25 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965-3380 Attn: Starlyn Brown As Per our recent conversations, I have prepared an estimate of costs Per visit. The range of costs will, of course, depend on some of the parameters that will be established between the officer and the needs of the county and/or other departments. Based on our review of the use permit requirements and the expressed desires of your department, we feel the minimum needs of the inspection could be concluded in less than 8 hours for the average inspection. This estimate is based inspections to which access is open at all hours, for which only the specific terms of the Permit are addressed and for which a standard compliance form which meets the satisfaction of both Earth Resource Development and county administration. Such inspection would cost $495 at a minimum. We feel a more realistic approach is assume that the inspections will include specific areas -of interest to be addressed and that it will be highly desireable to interface with all interested Parties. Also several suggestions were Previously made concerning the desirability of an occasional monitoring for air and water quality. Obviously these tasks fall within the responsibility of various departments and the_ intent is not to displace responsibility, but to assure compliance on a factual basis. We estimate a Probable average of about $525 Per visit. The greatest cost would be the visits 3 to 4 times a year that monitor for fugitive dust before and after operations or investigate water quality. The estimate for those services are $1,250 and could be done in a rather long but single visit. Substantial savings of about $470 ($780 Per visit) would result if the county were able to Perform the water quality tests on samples submitted and if air quality instrumentation were to be made available to Earth Resource Development. A yearly cost of services based on an inspection every two weeks and' € e Parameters as outline above are as follows: Minimum $ 12,870 Average $ 13,650 High $ 16,550 Sincerely, J.T.

QUALIFICATIONS • D. R. Ketron, PE D. R. Ketron, PE is a sole proprietorship providing general en- gineering and consulting services since 1976 in the fields of mining and civil construction. The principal of the firm, Douglas Ketron, works in association either as the lead or as an associate with other individuals and firms on a project -specific basis. In this proposal, D. R. Ketron, PE is the lead entity. Mr. Ketron is a licensed Civil Engineer in California and has current registration as a mining engineer in other states. He has 30 years of experience in activities in mining, construction, environmental.review, and remediation projects. Mining programs deal specifically with civil construction such as roads, tunnels, pits, plantsites, townsites, chemical and reagent storage sites, dams, and flood control structures. In addition to these acti- vities, projects.under the direction of Mr. Ketron have addressed solid and chemical waste disposal, potable and industrial water supplies, sewage treatment, dewatering, soil and rock mechanics, seismic stability, ground water control and disposal, dust control, air pollutants, surface reclamation and restoration, and revegetation. All these activities have been performed under various State and EPA regulations as well as in compliance with the Mine Safety & Health Act, and in the case of uranium, under control of the Nuclear. Regulatory Commission. Equally pertinent to the discussion are his experience in project management and implementation and direct responsibilities in the engineering and earth science environmental concerns. He has been responsible for programs including environmental studies and per- mitting, acquisition of rights, exploration, geological and eco- nomic analyses, operational planning, development, daily produc- tion, and reclamation. Program involvement includes the very small private ventures to a 2,000 million -ton coal deposit. In addition, he has testified and given expert assistance to attorneys in various cases in contest in matters concerning issues -peculiar to the minerals industry. With specific reference to the California Surface Mining and Reclamation Act and AB3551 (SMARA), Mr. Ketron has served on advisory committees in Amador-County concerning the implementation and compliance with that Act, and currently serves on a voluntary advisory committee to assist Humboldt County in developing its General Plan Element, modified County Ordinance, permit procedures, and implementation policy. He is active on a voluntary basis with the State Board of Mining & Geology, Department of Conservation staff, and members of the State Legislature to document difficulties with the implementation of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act and suggest remedies or modifications. 2 0 A partial listing of completed programs relative to this proposal includes: Compliance Inspector, use permit, Carbondale Mine, Ione, CA Compliance Inspector, reclamation plan, North American Refractories, Ione, CA Compliance Inspector, reclamation plan,-H.C.

Additional capabilities include air quality and dust monitoring, soils sampling and characterization, and analysis of hydrologic and climatologic data associated with drainage areas and surface runoff. . 4 III. PROGRAM OVERVIEW Green Rock Ouarry The primary need and purpose for a Monitoring and Compliance officer is to assure the protection of -the public from hazards and to assure the minimization of permanent. environmental effects caused by the mining operation. These goals_ are accomplished by monitoring compliance with the conditions placed upon the operating permit issued by the Butte County Board of Supervisors, and assuring compliance with applicable State and Federal regulations. To do this and to eliminate potential conflicts, a party disassociated from the operator should have access for periodic inspections of the site. A second purpose of a comprehensive inspection and compliance assurance program is to assure the County is in compliance with SMARA and other applicable State laws and regulations. Butte County has certain obligations to implement the provisions of SMARA, among which is the required annual inspection to be concerned with compliance with the approved Reclamation Plan. Accordingly, at least one of the inspections each year must be concerned with the applicability of on-going reclamation, the adequacy of any financial assurance posted regarding the recla- mation` of the site subsequent to mining, and the filing of required forms and fees. - A third, and unfortunately important, purpose is to create and maintain an adequate record of inspections and compliance to protect the County from spurious lawsuits from project opponents. To. -accomplish this end, each inspectionmust be documented by a report that specifically addresses each condition or issue, and the reports maintained in a file open to the public. Complaints against the operator must be investigated anda conclusion drawn and reported upon. In the event of significant deviations from the operating plan or use permit conditions, each deviation must be documented so appropriate action may be taken. Such action may be .punitive in the case of violations, or administrative in the case of necessary modifications. In either case, documentation is critical to protect the County from zealots and disgruntled project opponents. The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act requires an annual inspec- tion to assure compliance with an approved Reclamation Plan and to determine the adequacy of financial assurances posted with the lead agency. An inspection concerned with operating conditions can be undertaken during this annual event. For a small and uncomplicated operation, the annual inspection might suffice. - However, it is normal and good practice to perform inspections on' a more frequent basis, . with the frequency of the in dependent upon the operation and history of operator cooperation and compliance. In 5 the case of the Green Rock Quarry, quarterly inspections might be considered as adequate. But because of the heightened social interest and an unfavorable history, it is proposed that under an �initial'period, compliance inspections be undertaken on a monthly basis. Subject to a demonstrated operational capability and good faith, the frequency may be reduced to bimonthly, and ultimately to a quarterly basis. Each inspection must compare all conditions and restrictions placed upon the operating permit with the actual situation and characteristics of the.quarry. In addition, compliance must be checked with other permits issued to the operator such as Fish & Game 1603, Butte County Air Pollution Control District, or .any Regional Water Quality Control- Board permits concerning waste water or stormwater runoff. Other Operations It is anticipated that the Monitoring and Compliance Officer will assist County staff in developing and implementing -inspections of other mining operations within Butte County to assure compliance by both the operator and .the County. Those portions of the. Green Rock Quarry program that function smoothly and efficiently can be applied to other operators. Those conditions or functions which are found to be difficult to administer or' control can be modified for an easier administrative effort on subsequent operations. Advice.and Assistance to County Staff It is anticipated.that the Monitoring and.Compliance Officer will offer advice and counsel to County staff concerning SMARA and regulatory compliance, permitting procedures, mineral resource management, or taxation as conditions warrant_ or as the County may have need for expert opinion. .9 IV. PROGRAM COST & BILLING Green Rock Ouarry It is.concluded that the easiest to administer is a fixed fee for inspections that includes the basic site visit and report preparation. We propose a fixed fee of $375.00 per inspection visit. Special inspections may also be performed for a flat fee, but because of potential inconvenience caused by the emergency nature. of the visit, a separate fee is appropriate. For such special inspections on an emergency call -out basis, we propose a fee of $500.00. For special monitoring or testing where outside services are required, we propose billing at cost with no surcharge for services. For time required by the principal to arrange and manage such special monitoring or testing, we propose an hourly rate of $75.00 For advising and acting as counsel to County, staff concerning this project, we propose that there will be no fee in addition to the inspection fees. For out-of-pocket administrative costs incurred that are reasonable and normal to the defined task,.we propose -that there will be no fee in addition to the inspection fees. For extraordinary and unforeseen out-of-pocket costs, we propose simple reimbursement with no overhead or administration multiplier. Because of the potential long term of this position, it is proposed that fees be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the Consumers Price Index. Other Operations . For consultation and cooperation as described' in II above, providing time requirements are. modest and reasonable, it is proposed that no fee be charged. In the event that substantial detailed consultation is requested, we propose a fee of $75.00 per hour plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs. For compliance inspections "of operations other than the Green Rock Quarry, we propose a fixed fee of $375.00. For special inspections on an emergency basis, we propose a fixed fee of $500.00. 7 • Because of the potential long term of this position, it is proposed. that fees be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the Consumers Price Index. Advice and Assistance.to County Staff It is the policy of D. R. Ketron, 'PE to.'donate time and 'effort to public agencies to assist in developing policy and procedure that benefit the agency, the public, and mine operators by providing compliance at reasonable human. and economic cost. So long as time demands are reasonable, it is proposed that there shall be no fee for this -service. In the .event of a special or specific project where significant time is required, for consultation and project review, we propose a fee of $60.00 per hour, or alternatively, a negotiated fee. Because of the potential long term of this position, it is proposed that fees be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the Consumers- -Price Index. V.

From 1975 to 1980, Mr. Robert McClarren performed various services for me and for Project Geology Branch during our conduct of geological field investiga tions in the Oroville area. This was during his employment with the Oroville Field Division of the Department of Water Resources' Division of Operations and Maintenance. Among these projects was an extensive exploration trenching program conducted as a result of the 1975 Oroville earthquake. Mr. McClarren supervised the exca- vation, shoring, and backfilling of numerous backhoe trenches used to explore the extent and nature of faults related to the earthquake. Another project involved diamond core drilling in the Oroville Dam core block using a pneumatic -operated drill machine.. A major problem of this job was the mobilizing and demobilizing of.heavy, bulky equipment through the small inspec- tion galleries to -the drill site deep within the Oroville Dam core block. He also provided various types of field assistance to our drill crews doing rotary drilling and soil sampling at Thermalito Forebay and Afterbay Dams. During my association with Mr. McClarren on these jobs he demonstrated coopera- tion, efficiency, and resourcefulness in the conduct of his work. He and his field crews made a significant contribution to our geologic exploration efforts, and I am pleased to recommend him for any assignment within his area of expertise. Sincerely, Xs Robert J.
