berm visually shields the operation from the Highway, as well as minimize noise impacts. Dust should <br /> be minimized since much of the mining will take place below the water table, therefore, the material to <br /> be mined will be wet. Almost all of the gravel sent to the plant will be wet. <br /> Processing at the site has returned to portable trommels and sluice boxes. The main plant maybe utilized <br /> in the future but the efficiency of smaller trommels and their reduced rehandled requirements have been <br /> determined to be the current optimal solution. One or more trommels will be set up adjacent to areas <br /> requiring fill. The discharge of the trommels will be directed into this spoil area. Water discharge will <br /> be allowed to settle within this first catchment where a majority of the material will remain. Water <br /> carrying fine sediment will then be directed in a series of ponds utilized onsite to settle and allow for <br /> infiltration into the native gravels. The most recent amendment fully describes these ponds. <br /> Future topsoil stripping of the remaining cuts will follow the approved plan from the most recent <br /> amendment. Numerous areas around the site are available for direct topsoil placement. Topsoil soil will <br /> be stripped an immediately placed into areas which have received final grading. Seed and fertilizer <br /> application will follow the approved reclamation plan. Final contouring of the South Pit Area will mimic <br /> the existing terrain with steep slopes being more subdued. Estimated major contours of the reclaimed <br /> surface have been included on the South Pit Reclamation Plan Map. <br />
