g) There will be no shop, plant, or other facilities permanently located at the mine site. <br />Equipment will be maintained at the site only when mining is occurring. This will be <br />on a period basis since material will only be mined on an as needed basis. The <br />equipment used to mine the gravel will be primarily a scraper, front -end loader, <br />dozer, and trucks. Equipment will typically be filled with fuel from portable fuel <br />tanks. Any portable tanks at the site will be placed out of the drainage area and out <br />of the active working area to prevent fuel spills or related hazards. This and good <br />housekeeping will minimize the potential of any contamination. The final mine floor <br />will always remain a minimum of 2 feet above static water level and should pose no <br />threat to ground water, which is around 150 feet below the surface. Equipment will <br />be serviced out of the mining area. <br />h) No water will be used in conjunction with the operation. There could be instances <br />when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to continue. At those times, mining <br />will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine again. Mining will not <br />go into the groundwater site. <br />i) The material to be mined will be used primarily as road building material. <br />i) Our plans are to mine to a depth of approximately 20 feet. No slopes will be <br />left greater than 3:1 around the perimeter of the reclaimed pit. Bank slopes <br />may be left at 2:1. <br />ii) Based on mining which has occurred in the existing pit area, the material at <br />the bottom of the pit, primarily a clay material, would be expected to remain <br />consistent throughout the life of the pit. <br />j) No explosives will be used in this mining enterprise. <br />n <br />
