1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Site Description
The subject property (“Site”) is approximately 451.135 acres in size and is located along the west
side of U.S. Highway 40, south of the Mayfiower highway exit in Wasatch County, Utah. An
orthophoto base site location map is included in Exhibit A.
1.2 Project Background
The Site includes the historical Mayfiower Mine. The mine and parts of the surrounding area were
impacted by historic mining activities that began in 1873 and occurred periodically through the
early 1980’s. These mining activities resulted in contaminated soils, water, and sediments in and
around the Site. Stichting Mayfiower Recreational Fonds (“Stichting”) purchased the Site and
surrounding properties in the 1970s with the intention to redevelop the area.
Stichting was issued a Ground Water Quality Discharge Permit (No. UGW520002) (“Permit”) by the
Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality (“DWQ”) in 1993. In August of
1995, the Utah Water Quality Board issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) and Consent Order in
response to elevated concentrations of total dissolved solids in the groundwater downgradient of
the Site and a release from the tailings ponds on the east side of U.S. Highway 40 due to stormwater
discharges. Stichting’s response to the NOV did not satisfactorily address DWQ’s concerns, and
accordingly, the Permit was not reissued upon its expiration in December 1998.
In 2003, Stichting and DWQ entered into a Final Amended Stipulation and Consent Order (“Consent
Order”) to address the violations identifled in the NOV. Stichting submitted to DWQ a Plan for
Reclamation of the Mayfiower Mine and Adjacent Areas in 2014 to address the environmental
impacts associated with historic mining activities on its property and to resolve the Consent Order.
DWQ approved the plan in April of 2015, and stated that it superseded the 1995 NOV and 2003
Consent Order, and that completion of the proposed reclamation activities would satisfy the
obligations set forth in the Consent Order.
In October of 2016, BLX Mayfiower LLC (“BLXM”) purchased the property from Stichting. As part of
the purchase agreement, BLXM agreed to assume the responsibility for the obligations under the
Consent Order for the Site. Because the remediation as set forth in the 2014 reclamation plan did
not contemplate residential and commercial development, BLXM put the Site into the Utah
Department of Environmental Quality’s (“UDEQ’s”) Voluntary Cleanup Program (“VCP”)
administered by the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (“DERR”) to remediate
the property to a level that would accommodate residential and commercial use. Under the VCP,
BLXM agreed to complete a site characterization report, propose a remedial action plan, and
complete the cleanup under the guidance of DERR.
Mayfiower Mine VCP Site Management Plan

1.3 Remedial Actions
BLXM and its consultants prepared, and DERR approved, a Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) in May
2019, which set forth the procedures to be used to remediate the contaminated soil, sediment, and
surface water at the Site. The Contaminants of Concern (“COCs”) identifled included arsenic and
lead in topsoil; arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, and TPH-DRO in subsurface soil; arsenic,
cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc in sediment; cadmium, copper, iron, lead, and zinc in
surface water; and TPH-DRO in groundwater. The work as described in the RAP commenced in
August 2019 and was completed in 2024, which included the following:
• Capping of impacted soils: Soils and sediments from across the Site with impacts
exceeding site-speciflc cleanup levels were gathered and consolidated in an onsite
repository, located within the footprint of the former mine’s waste rock area (the
“Repository”). The Repository has been capped with an engineered cover to prevent
migration and potential leaching of the encapsulated materials.
• Confirmation soil sampling: BLXM and its consultants collected soil samples for
laboratory analyses to document concentrations of any remaining COCs. Where levels
exceeded the cleanup objectives set forth in Section 4.2 of the RAP, the extent of
contamination was deflned and excavated, with the additional removed soils moved to the
Repository.
During excavation activities in and around Lower McHenry Canyon, a small lens of impacted soils
was identifled as being unable to be excavated due to the potential undermining of the elevated
road under which it was located. DERR approved a Contingency Request in February 2020 to allow
a small localized lens of contaminated materials to be left in place.
As implementation of the RAP progressed, it also became apparent that unanticipated surface
water and groundwater were inflltrating and compromising the integrity of the Repository area and
associated cap. In response, BLXM developed additional water management strategies that
separated surface water and groundwater from the waste rock, as further described in the
Supplemental RAP Activities to Address Water Inflltration and Management document.
All cleanup objectives of the RAP have been satisfled as demonstrated in the Remedial Action
Report (“RAR”). This Site Management Plan (“SMP”) outlines the surface water and groundwater
monitoring requirements, as well as the monitoring and maintenance requirements for the
protective cap installed atop the Repository, the discrete location of the lens of impacted soils
remaining in place, and the water management objectives to ensure the integrity of the waste rock
Repository and cap.
1.4 Implementation of this SMP
Implementation of this SMP will be the responsibility of the Mountainside Master Association
(“Master HOA”) pursuant to the Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and
Mayfiower Mine VCP Site Management Plan

Easements for Mountainside village and Resort, dated August 20, 2020, and recorded in the
Wasatch County Recorder’s Office on August 21, 2020, at bk 1308, pg 27-142, that covers the Site.
The Master HOA may impose assessments to cover the costs of implementation of this SMP. This
SMP may be amended from time to time if proposed by the Master HOA and accepted by DERR.
The Master HOA shall also be responsible for the performance of annual site-wide inspections of
the Mayfiower VCP area. The Master HOA shall also be responsible for notifying DERR (801-536-
4100) at least 10 days in advance of each annual inspection to allow a DERR representative to be
present during the inspection, as applicable. Modiflcation to the frequency of the inspections will
require approval from DERR. All inspections shall be documented on the form contained in Section
4 of this SMP or an equivalent form.
Site-wide inspections shall also be performed in the event of an emergency (e.g., flre, natural
disaster, or other unforeseen events or disturbances) that may have affected any of the remedial
actions. The Master HOA shall give verbal notice to DERR within 24 hours if such an emergency
occurs that reduces or has the potential to reduce the effectiveness of the remedial actions
completed at the Site. If such an emergency event occurs, an inspection of the Site, using the form
contained in Section 4 or an equivalent, shall be conducted within 5 days of the event to verify the
continued effectiveness of the remedial actions completed at the Site. Written conflrmation of
such an inspection shall be provided to DERR within 5 days of the inspection. This conflrmation
shall include a summary of actions taken, or to be taken, and the potential impact of the event on
the public.
The results of all inspections (whether routine or in response to an emergency) shall be provided
within 10 business days of the inspection to the following:

2. WATER MONITORING PLAN
2.1 Sampling Procedure
Surface water quality sampling for total metals shall be conducted at the McHenry Campground
sampling point (4997675) on a monthly basis through May 2026. Monthly samples shall be analyzed
for zinc and cadmium by EPA Method 200.8, and iron by EPA Method 200.7. Thereafter, water
quality sampling shall be conducted at the same sampling location twice annually – with one
sample collected and analyzed in late April or early May, to coincide with the approximate peak of
the runoff season, and one sample collected and analyzed in the Fall, in early October – through
October 2031. These semi-annual samples shall be analyzed for the following metals, using the
analytical methods identifled herein: arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead,
Mayfiower Mine VCP Site Management Plan
7
mercury, selenium, silver, and zinc. During all surface water sampling, turbidity will be measured
with a properly calibrated meter in the fleld and reported using the NTU scale.
If any sampling result exceeds the applicable levels set forth below in Table 1, a secondary water
sample will be collected and sent for testing within one day of receipt of the initial water quality
analysis with an expedited (typically 24 hour) turnaround time for laboratory analysis. If this
conflrmatory sample still exceeds any of the applicable levels, water shall be pumped from the
Property Line Sump as soon as possible, but in no event later than 4 days after receipt of the
sample results, to mitigate impacts. All water pumped from the Property Line Sump will be properly
disposed and DERR shall be consulted regarding next steps and follow-up actions. If the
conflrmatory sample does not exceed any of the applicable levels, a third water sample shall be
collected and sent for expedited laboratory analysis within three business days of receipt of the
secondary water quality analysis. If this third sample exceeds any of the applicable levels, water
shall be pumped from the Property Line Sump as soon as possible, but in no event later than 4 days
from receipt of the sample results, and DERR will be consulted regarding next steps and follow-up
actions. If the third sample still does not exceed any of the applicable levels, no further follow-up
action is required, and sampling shall continue per this SMP.
Groundwater quality sampling for dissolved metals shall be conducted annually from the Property
Line Sump, GW-2 and GW-4 through October 2031, and will be conducted in late May/early June to
coincide with the end of the spring runoff each year. Sampling shall follow approved sampling
procedures and analytical results shall be compared to screening levels in Table 1.
Piezometers (GW-6, GW-8, and GW-9a) in the Repository shall be measured for water levels every
two weeks during the Spring months of March, April, and May. During the Fall, in October, a water
level measure will be taken during surface water sampling activity. The water level information shall
be used to help evaluate the wave of water that can often be observed (with water levels collected
from the piezometers on a seasonal basis) in the Repository and how this may impact the remedy.
At the end of 2031, DERR shall be consulted to evaluate whether the Supplemental RAP Activities
to Address Water Inflltration and Management (Appendix I of the Remedial Action Report) are
effective as planned, and whether additional sampling and analysis for water quality is warranted
moving forward. If the results continue to be below screening levels, the Master HOA may petition
DERR to discontinue water monitoring.
A report shall be submitted after each sampling event, following the established reporting format
for the project.
2.2 Screening Levels

2.3 Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Sample collection and analysis procedures shall follow the QAPP referenced in the Remedial Action
Plan for the Site. Laboratory analysis of water samples shall be performed by a lab certifled by the
National Environmental Lab Accreditation Program and United States Environmental Protection
Agency quality control standards will be met for all samples. All laboratory analytical reports will
include Level 3 documentation, including a Case Narrative. On a frequency of one for every flve
sampling events, a fleld duplicate sample shall be collected for analysis. One Field Blank shall be
collected during the sampling program to assess potential sample contamination due to sample
bottles, preservative, ambient site conditions, or cross-contamination during transport.
The fleld duplicate will be collected closely in time and location to the actual sample and will be
placed in an identical sample container flxed with nitric acid (HNO3). The duplicate sample will be
handled in the same way as the other samples and will be secured in the same cooler for laboratory

analysis. The fleld duplicate will measure the additive effects of fleld precision (i.e. sample
collection, handling, and transportation) and lab precision (such as sample handling and analysis).
2.4 Chain-of-Custody Documentation
All samples submitted for laboratory analysis will be accompanied by completed Chain-of-Custody
forms. Forms will be completed and submitted with the samples to the laboratory during each
sampling event. The Chain-of-Custody will identify the contents of each shipment and maintain the
custodial integrity of the samples. Samples will be in the custody of the sampler, locked up, or kept
in a secured area that is restricted to authorized personnel. Samples will remain in the custody of the
sampler until released to the lab. Upon arrival at the lab, the sampler will sign the Chain-of-Custody
form in the “relinquished by” box and note date and time.
3. SITE MANAGEMENT
3.1 Environmental Covenant
An Environmental Covenant (“EC”) will be prepared consistent with this SMP after approval by
DERR, outlining the continuing obligations and limitations associated with impacts remaining at
three speciflc locations within the Site. The three locations are (1) the railroad grade lens of
impacted material, (2) the waste rock repository, and (3) the mine portal area. The EC will be
recorded on the Site’s title.
If any disturbance of these three locations is necessary, a work plan will be submitted to DERR prior
to any land disturbance covered by the Environmental Covenant. Such work plan must be reviewed
and approved by DERR prior to any land disturbance activity.
3.2 Land Use Limitations
A. Waste Rock Repository
The waste rock Repository shall be limited to use as a repository. This area shall not be used or
developed for use other than as a repository without amendment to the EC. The Repository cap
includes various protective cover types tailored to different sections of the area, including a hard
surface cover (asphalt) and a green space cover for planted areas. The cap thickness is described
in the RAR, speciflcally in Appendix J. The Repository cap shall not be disturbed or breached other
than pursuant to a work plan approved by DERR prior to any disturbance of the cap. The hard
surface cover and greenspace cover cap areas are depicted in Exhibit B.
B. Railroad Grade Lens of Impacted Soils
The lens of impacted soil shall not be disturbed or excavated. If soil removal is required in or around
the lens of impacted soil, a work plan must be submitted to DERR for review and approval prior to
any earthwork being done in the area.
Mayfiower Mine VCP Site Management Plan

C. Mine Portal Area
The mine portal area contains naturally occurring mineralization in both the bedrock and soils
surrounding the historic portal. If any disturbance of this area, or the demarcation fabric placed
over the top of the portal is planned, a work plan is required to be submitted to DERR for review and
approval prior to any disturbance of the portal area.
3.3 Inspection and Maintenance Items
The following features require an inspection at least annually during the third quarter, or at an
additional frequency specifled below, to ensure they are functioning as intended and are not
compromising the completed remedial activities at the Site. Additional maintenance and repair
activities may be required, as specifled in the Maintenance Items Checklist, to ensure their
functionality. A comprehensive inspection checklist for the following items is included in Section 4
of this SMP.
A. Railroad Grade Lens of Impacted Soils
The lens of impacted soils left in place is depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit C, Map
#4. An orange demarcation layer has been placed directly atop the contaminated soils, and several
feet of soil was placed on top as an earthen cap. This area is subject to the Environmental
Covenant as described above, and a work plan is required to be submitted to DERR for review and
approval prior to any disturbance of the lens area.
Inspection Checklist

B. Glencoe Canyon Sediment Retention Pond
The Glencoe Canyon Sediment Retention Pond is designed to allow sediment-laden water to pond,
with sediments settling out of suspension. This will protect the lower McHenry Canyon from the
Mayfiower Mine VCP Site Management Plan
11
potential impact of legacy mining materials that could migrate during spring runoff or other high
stream fiow conditions, preventing them from entering the remediated area of McHenry Canyon.
The Sediment Retention Pond is depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit C, Map #4. In the
event that dredging is needed in the Sediment Retention Pond to maintain 2’ of freeboard from the
bottom of the outlet structure, the dredged material will be consolidated and placed on a liner to
allow the sediment material to dry. Appropriate controls will be implemented to prevent windblown
materials such as a plastic cover. A representative sampling plan using an XRF will be prepared and
implemented with DERR oversight to conflrm the sediments do not exceed Remedial Action Plan
cleanup levels of 500 mg/kg for lead and 100 mg/kg for arsenic. The representative sampling plan
will include requirements for disposal of any soil that exceeds these regulatory clean-up levels.
Inspection Checklist
• Frequency of inspection – annual, and in the case of a 100-year storm event

C. Big Dutch Pete Hollow Subsurface Water Cut Off Wall
The Big Dutch Pete Hollow subsurface water collection system was designed and constructed to
capture subsurface water that was migrating into the waste rock area. The "cutoff wall" is located
approximately 850’ upstream from the waste rock repository boundary. The collected water is
transported through an 18" HDPE pipe to the Big Dutch Pete Hollow storm drain detention pond and
eventually offsite to the Jordanelle Reservoir. There are a total of three surface inlets that capture
water from the surface and transport it through the 18" pipeline to the storm water detention pond.
The Big Dutch Pete Hollow cut off wall is depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit D, Map #2.

o Reshape the water bars and remove sediment using an excavator to resolve
malfunctions
D. Big Dutch Pete Hollow Spring Water Collection and Pipeline
A historic spring water source approximately 1500’ up the canyon southwest of the Repository,
initially improved by miners several decades ago, had deteriorated over time. To restore its
functionality, a new subsurface collection system was installed, incorporating perforated pipe and
coarse free-drain gravel to efficiently capture and direct the spring water into a collection box and
pipeline. The collected water is diverted through a newly installed 6-inch HDPE pipeline, which
routes it around the waste rock Repository and into the reclaimed wetland area. Additionally, a
diversion box with fiow control was implemented to regulate water fiow and allow for necessary
maintenance when required. The spring water collection system, speciflcally the diversion box and
pipeline, are depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit E, Map #3.
Inspection Checklist
• Frequency of inspection – annual
• Inspect area for the following:

E. Big Dutch Pete Hollow Stormwater Detention Pond Relocation
The Big Dutch Pete Hollow Stormwater Detention Pond was relocated 300’ above the waste rock
Repository boundary, signiflcantly enhancing protection against runoff water during storms. This
relocation, along with the pond’s outfiow structure and pipeline, helps divert water away from the
waste rock pile. A low permeability clay barrier was also installed between the detention pond and
the Repository boundary. The detention pond is depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit F,
Map #1.
Inspection Checklist
• Frequency of inspection – annual, and in the case of a 100-year storm event
• Inspect area for the following:
o Inspect the outfiow structure for debris and blockages

provide documentation to DERR that clearing has occurred
F. Mayfiower Mine Portal Water Diversion
The Mayfiower Mine Portal continuously discharges water at a fiow rate of 0.4–0.6 CFS, with
temporary increases during snowmelt. To prevent contact with the waste rock Repository and
support construction activities for mitigating contaminated soils and waste rock, the water fiow
was redirected away from the waste rock pile. An 18-inch HDPE pipeline was installed to effectively
convey the water away from the waste rock Repository. The mine portal and route of water is
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit F, Map #1.

J. Legacy Mining Era Pond
A legacy man-made mining pond was discovered to be a source of water inflltrating the waste rock
repository. The pond was breached and infllled with clay and impervious materials. The outfiow
valve and pipeline from the pond was terminated. Any naturally occurring water in the former pond
area was directed to the nearby storm drain collection system. The legacy mining era pond is
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit D, Map #2.

K. Mine Portal Area
The mine portal area contains naturally occurring mineralization in both the bedrock and soils.
Remediation efforts included the removal of contaminated soils from past operations but were
halted at the bedrock face of the portal. The surrounding area was cleared, tested, and
documented as a clean soil area. A demarcation fabric was placed over the mine portal opening
and covered with soil. The mine portal area is depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit F,
Map #1. This area is subject to the Environmental Covenant as described above, and a work plan is
required to be submitted to DERR for review and approval prior to any disturbance of the portal
area.
