Water Diversions and Impoundments <br />All water to be used at this site will be purchased from the City of Burlington. The water will <br />be used as a dust suppressant for the processing, plant site area, access/haul road area and the <br />overall pit grounds. <br />There will be no water diversions or water impoundments at this site. Schlosser Inc. will <br />utilize berms and silt fencing as necessary to prevent storm water run-off from leaving the pit <br />area and entering the Sandy Creek drainage system. The Sandy Creek drainage is an ephemeral <br />system. No excavation will occur within 100 feet of the Sandy Creek drainage. No <br />encountering of ground water is expected. Schlosser, Inc. commits to keeping the mining <br />operations a minimum of two feet above groundwater if groundwater is encountered. <br />There is an existing well within the permit area (shown on the Mine Plan Map on page 5-C). <br />This well is owned by Schlosser Inc. This well is inactive and will not be used in any capacity <br />during operations at this site. This well site will not be disturbed during excavation, mining <br />operations will mine around the well site leaving the well site intact. <br />Size of Area to be Worked <br />The phase one area is 20 acres and the phase two area is 30 acres. All of phase one <br />Due to the extensive depth of the sand and gravel deposit, only a small area will need to be <br />opened up at any one time. The sand and gravel deposit averages 20 feet in depth which will <br />yield approximately 50,000 tons of material per acre. Demand should not exceed this amount <br />in any given year. <br />There is an approximate 6 acre area that was previously mined at this site (see Mine Plan <br />Map on page 5-C). This 6 acre excavation is included within the affected area of this permit <br />area. <br />There will be an approximate 40 foot buffer area that will not be mined between the permit <br />boundary area and the area being mined and also a buffer area of 100 feet between any <br />excavation and Sandy Creek. This buffer area will total approximately 6 acres that will not be <br />mined within the Affected Area. <br />Operations Timetable <br />Mining operations are planned to commence in the summer of 2015. It is estimated that <br />approximately 50,000 tons of material will be processed each year (depending on the demand <br />for the products). <br />D-2 <br />
