(b) Earthmoving; <br />Topsoil and overburden will be stripped with scrapers or bulldozers and stockpiled in <br />segregated piles at the edge of the active mine. Excavators, front-end loaders, and <br />bulldozers will be used to excavate the material. Conveyor belts or haul trucks will be <br />utilized to transport the raw material from the active mine phase to the processing <br />area. The site will be mined at a 1 H:1 V slope. <br />(c) All water diversions and impoundments, and <br />The perimeter of the mined area will be dewatered by digging a trench to bedrock. <br />The water will be pumped into a settling pond and discharged in accordance with a <br />CDPS permit. Wash water for the processing area will be recycled through a series of <br />small ponds within the processing area. The water required to operate the facility will <br />likely be provided by the existing water rights associated with the property. No ditches <br />will be disturbed without prior authorization of the appropriate ditch company. <br />(d) The size of area(s) to be worked at any one time. <br />The entire 19.7 acres will be worked at one time. <br />(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for <br />the purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation <br />during the different phases of a mining operation. <br />The Operator anticipates that mining will commence as soon as all permits are in <br />place. The Operator anticipates extracting approximately 500,000 tons of aggregate <br />per year, however, production rate may vary based on market demands. <br />Timetable for Mining and Reclamation <br />Mining will begin as one phase and take approximately one to two years. Reclamation <br />will take another year to complete. <br />Reclamation will begin immediately after mining is complete. When possible, <br />concurrent reclamation practices will be used to minimize site disturbance and to limit <br />material handling to the greatest extent possible. Please refer to the Mining Plan Map <br />in Exhibit C for phase areas to be mined, locations and areas. <br />(f) Use Mining Plan Map in conjunction with narrative to present.• <br />C1.)
