2.0 Sand and Gravel Mine Plan <br />2.1 General Plan Gravel Minina <br />Prior to the 2003 amendment, the gravel mining was limited to a 10 acre area shown on Map C -2, <br />which was part of the 110 operation M- 2000 -063. This operation is absorbed into the Alma Placer <br />112 permit as a result of the April 2003 amendment. Gravel mining in the 110 permit consisted of <br />excavating piles of gravel that had been already washed by pre -law gold mining. The gravel was <br />loaded into a portable crushing plant, portable wash plant and portable screen plant for making <br />various size materials for sale on site. Products ranged from pit run gravel to various road base <br />products, washed sand and boulders. This operation was successful and more room is needed to <br />continue operating. For this reason, the 2003 amendment allows a much larger area for sand and <br />gravel mining and it is hoped that future activity will also clean up old waste piles which have been <br />an eyesore for many years north of the existing gold prep plant. It is also likely that the gravel <br />operation will remove all piles of waste gravel from the gold prep plant for sale or for crushing and <br />screening into other products. <br />As of April 2003, it is expected that the area of the 110 permit will provide another 6 months of sand <br />and gravel mining. At that time, the facilities will move to the new main extraction area north of the <br />gold prep plant. <br />The 3 plants (crushing, screening, washing) will then be located as shown on Map C -2. <br />Approximately 8 -9 acres will be used for the plants as well as stockpile areas, in addition to the <br />stockpiles designated for the gold plant described in the previous section. <br />Although the plan on the following pages shows the potential use of an asphalt plant on site, the <br />permittee hereby states that no asphalt plant will be placed on site at any time without written per- <br />mission from the town of Alma. This approval will be supplied to DRMS prior to any placement of <br />the plant on site. <br />Alma Placer 1/15 29 <br />
