Duran & Pearce Contractors propose to Phase mine approx. <br /> ten (10) acres at a time and then will reclaim prior to mining an additional ten (10) acre <br /> area. Duran & Pearce Contractors (Operator) will complete the mining of the already <br /> permitted 9.32 acres prior to mining the next section.A total of 68.6 acres will be <br /> permitted under the new 112 permit with an 'Affected Area'to be 55.12 acres. <br /> (b) Surface Mine/Truck and Shovel Methods will be used. <br /> -Dozers, Excavators, Dump trucks to be used to strip topsoil and stockpile <br /> -Dozers, Excavators, Dump trucks to be used remove overburden <br /> -Excavators, Front End Loaders and Dump Trucks to mine sand and gravel <br /> (c) Dry Alluvial operation will not encounter ground water; Current Martin 1-A Pit is a dry <br /> pit that is located well above the areas water table at an elevation of 6,400'. <br /> (d) Phase mining will be the method of mining and reclamation at the Martin 1-A Pit. <br /> Section areas no smaller than (6.2) acres and no larger than (9.9) acres will be disturbed <br /> at one time (active mining, processing areas and unreleased reclamation).
