5 <br />Aggregate extraction will begin in the northwestern vicinity of the impact area and will generally <br />progress toward the southwest. Aggregate may be screened as needed using a mobile screen, and may <br />be crushed on site using a dry mobile crusher/ screen. The affected land will be partally reclaimed when <br />approximately fifty percent of the proposed pit area has been mined. The remaining portion of the land <br />will be reclaimed upon completion of the site for mining purposes. Reclamation of the land back to <br />sustainable rangeland is a priority of the owner / operator as each acre of reclaimed rangeland provides <br />an incremental increase in grazable acreage. <br />Thickness of aggregate material to be mined is 10 to 20 feet. The topsoil generally directly overlays the <br />fractured rock to be mined. An overburden thickness of 0.5 ft. is used as a conservative estimate to for <br />relcatmation purposes. The actual average overburden thickness is likely to be less. The primary <br />commodity to be produced from the site is rock aggregate, which will likely be used for road <br />improvement and other construction related projects. No secondary commodities will be produced <br />from the mining area. <br />No incidental products are expected to be produced. <br />No explosives or chemicals will be utilized. <br />Four X Ranch Gravel Pit application <br />
