Schedule for Pltase I <br /> Estimated start date - April 1998 <br /> Estimated end date - October 2003, (period of flagstone mining depends on demand) <br /> Reclamation - April 2004, (following completion of flagstone mining) <br /> Phases II and III are also scheduled for consecutive 5 year operation plans depending on demand. <br /> Major mining components - Phase 1: <br /> 1. Existing access road up the east side of the liogback to be improved (approximately 1 3/4 <br /> miles). Improvements will consist of regrading and adding 12-inch-high water bars as <br /> needed. No culverts or other drainage conveyances are planned. <br /> 2. The existing staging area of approximately 4.5 acres located about 1.7 miles north of the <br /> originally proposed staging area will be adopted for use. A rock tumbler will be set up at <br /> this location and the area will be used for interim storage of pelletized rock. <br /> 4. There wilt be no buildings erected on the site, as the existing ranch house and <br /> outbuildings will be used to support the operations. If needed, portable structures will be <br /> used to support the operations. <br /> 5. There will be no pits, shop/maintenance buildings, plants, or openings for mining. <br /> Mining will consist of removal of loose rock from existing rock slides. A rock cutter <br /> may be used to cut rocks to specific sizes and shapes. A rock tumbler will be used to <br /> produce pavers from waste rock. <br /> 6. The locations and dimensions of the anticipated soil and waste-rock stockpiles are shown <br /> on Exhibit E. <br /> 7. Approximately five truck loads of rock per day (10 - 20 tons) will be removed from the <br /> mine site and hauled to the staging area. Rock will be shipped via semi-truck from the <br /> staging area to place of sale on an as needed basis (1-2 trucks per week). Thus, there will <br /> be minimal impacts from increased traffic oil County Road 13. <br /> The only water needed for the proposed operation will be that required for dust suppression on <br /> the road and at the staging area and for tumbler operation. This water will be obtained from the <br /> 14 <br />
