Diversions and Impoundments <br /> The existing grade of the proposed permit area generally drains to the south. Stormwater that <br /> falls directly on disturbed areas will generally drain to the mine pit and be allowed to infiltrate. <br /> The active mine pit will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from <br /> disturbed areas off the site. Stormwater not encountering disturbed areas will be allowed to drain <br /> as it did prior to mining. <br /> Material Processing and Associated Facilities <br /> A portable processing facility for product screening may be brought to the site and used as <br /> needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is occurring. A <br /> fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable <br /> processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled to the processing facility where raw material <br /> and product stockpiles will be located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled off-site as pit <br /> run for direct use or processing elsewhere. <br /> Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use <br /> Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the <br /> proposed Harmony Gardens Site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and <br /> gravel exist to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand <br /> and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non-marketable topsoil and overburden materials will <br /> be used on-site for reclamation. <br /> Use of Explosives <br /> Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no explosives or blasting is required. <br /> Harmony Gardens Site <br /> DBMS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 10 <br />
