completed. Stockpiles to be in place for less than 12 months will NOT be vegetated (seeded and mulched), <br />although other erosion control measures may be employed. If stockpiles remain significantly longer than this period, <br />seeding would be done in the fall, as recommended by NRCS. <br />The initial stockpile area (See Figure C -2) of 30,000 SF (0.7 acres) will be able to contain up to 25,000 CY <br />of soil or soil from approximately 675,000 SF (assuming 1 foot of soil), which is far in excess of the maximum area <br />expected to be stripped for mining, plant site, and roads at any one time by a factor of 2.5. Stockpiles will be set <br />back from any highwall a minimum of 20 feet or the height of the highwall, whichever is greater. In case of problems <br />with vegetating (due to drought, severe winter conditions, or other issues), soil will be protected by application of <br />erosion control agents as necessary to prevent erosion and loss. <br />No other stockpile areas are planned; since the access road is permanent, soil reclaimed from its <br />improvement/construction will be added to the initial stockpile for other reclamation use. <br />"EXCESS ": Overburden, fines from washing and screening, and other suitable materials will be placed as necessary <br />to enhance reclamation. This includes shallow sediment basins, with the intent of using the filled basins as part of <br />final post- mining grade, and at the toe of highwalls. These materials will be able to be treated and used as subsoil <br />and backfill, for reclamation. <br />RAW AND PROCESSED MATERIALS: As much as possible, there will be little or no stockpiling of raw materials: <br />excavated material will be moved directly to the plant hoppers and trucks will be loaded directly from outfeed <br />conveyor stockpiles to haul off -site. However, the use of portable plants operating in the site for limited periods of <br />time and the expected demand for material on a year -round basis will require that some stockpiles of processed <br />materials (ready for haul off -site) will be necessary. Temporary operation of ready -mix or asphalt plants on -site will <br />also require stockpiles of aggregate for production of ready -mix and asphaltic cement concrete only immediately <br />before and when plants are present and operating. Material stockpiles will not be placed directly on un- <br />stripped /undisturbed or fully - reclaimed land. <br />GENERAL: Overburden and soil stockpile areas are placed where the material will be available for reclamation as <br />planned with minimum movement and re- handling. There may be some very temporary stockpiles for soil and <br />excess material, located at various convenient locations along roads, on the floor of the pit, in the plant area, or in <br />stripped areas. The use of silt- fencing at the toe of stockpiles will be avoided as much as possible, but sediment <br />control may be provided by shallow swales at the toe. <br />SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT: <br />See Exhibit G. <br />C &J Gravel Products, Inc.
