MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D(CONT) <br /> reduce the haul distances when reclamation starts . See the MINING <br /> PLAN MAP-MAP EXHIBIT C-1 for the approximate location of areas <br /> discussed in this text . <br /> This pit will be operated year-around, weather permitting, as a <br /> specification aggregate supply for sale on the open market and as <br /> an Inert Materials landfill . The area is a two stage operation <br /> but the bond is calculated for total disturbance. Therefore, <br /> mining can take place on parts of the entire permit area without <br /> exceeding the bonded disturbance limits . Two final reclamation <br /> plans are presented to control the cost of the bond and are based <br /> on the continued availability of backfill materials proposed as <br /> fill in the excavated areas . Reclamation will run concurrent <br /> with mining to reduce the amount of disturbance at any one time. <br /> This site has been used for many years as the home place for the <br /> original owners . The outbuildings were used to store <br /> agricultural machinery when the area around this site was farmed <br /> or when the fish hatchery was in full operation. The electric <br /> and gas service to the buildings are owned by the landowners and <br /> will be disconnected and removed before mining begins . Prior to <br /> commencing mining the site will be stripped of trees, houses, and <br /> buildings and disposed of properly. <br /> Mining equipment may include but is not limited to, front-end <br /> loaders, scrapers, off-road haul trucks, motor graders, track- <br /> hoes, bulldozers, dump trucks and a water truck. EXPLOSIVES WILL <br /> NOT BE USED DURING MINING OR RECLAMATION AT THIS SAND AND GRAVEL MINE . <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> Mining will start in 2015 or as soon there after as all permits <br /> are obtained and run from 2 to 7 years depending on the amount of <br /> material available and market demands. Please refer to Map Exhibit <br /> C-1 -Mining Plan Map for location of the areas discussed in the <br /> following text . The side slopes will be mined %H TO 1V AS WILL BE <br /> THE MINING FACE . A MINING SETBACK ON EACH SIDE OF THE MINE WILL BE ESTABLISHED <br /> BY THE GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS SO THEY ARE ADEQUATE TO PROTECT OFF SITE <br /> STRUCTURES , ONCE MINING REACHES THE SETBACKS AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE PIT , <br /> MONTHLY EVALUATIONS WILL BE MADE TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO SLOPE STABILITY <br /> FAILURES HAPPENING . There is sufficient material on the bottom of <br /> the mine to create 3 :1 slopes around the excavation if mining or <br /> backfilling of the face— f---t—ended prematurely. <br />
