The existing bench that exists along the south perimeter of the disturbed area already has a berm of <br />approximately 2-3 feet height, which was made of topsoil by a long ago highway construction opera- <br />tion. This topsoil berm will be expanded to a height of approximately 5-8 feet based on the amount <br />of topsoil still available from the bench area. The berm sideslopes will be 2:0H:1.0V. This berm will <br />serve as visual protection for the Highway below as well as a water barrier to prevent site runoff <br />from leaving the site. During final reclamation, the soil from the berm will be respread in the imme- <br />diate area for reclamation. <br />All berms and topsoil stockpiles will be seeded and mulched according to the recommendations of <br />the local NRCS immediately after creation. <br />See Map I/J in Appendix B for the outlines of all soil areas based on the SCS survey conducted years <br />ago. All stockpile areas will have slopes no steeper than 2.5H:1V and will be seeded within 60 days <br />after they are created. <br />6. Water Information. Rights and Augmentation <br />All water rights issues such as availability of water for this operation, consumption rates, dust con- <br />trol, etc. is presented in Exhibit G - Water Information. <br />7. Schedule of Operations <br />Mining operations will only occur as dictated by demand up to the maximum rates described earlier <br />in the mine plan. Mining may occur in winter months if demand exists. The operator does not antici- <br />pate night gravel mining operations, although minor truck activity or repairs may occur after hours. <br />Berry Pit 3/02 12 ' <br />
