Method of Mining: Briefly explain mining method(e.g.truck/shovel): Track-hoes, dozers and loaders remove <br /> material and load into trucks for delivery to stockpile area. <br /> 15. On Site Processing: ✓ Crushing/Screening <br /> 13.1 Briefly explain mining method(e.g truck/shovel): Two primary types of material is mined, Clay on Sandstone. <br /> Sandstone must be drilled & blasted to get to the clay The Sandstone is crushed&the clay moved to the brick plant <br /> List any designated chemicals or acid-producing materials to be used or stored within permit area: <br /> None <br /> 16 Description of Amendment or Conversion: <br /> If you are amending or converting an existing operation,provide a brief narrative describing the proposed change(s) <br /> Amendment adds approximately 1006.5 acres to permit area to increase the permitted reserves that have <br /> been leased since 1955 for sandstone and fire clay removal, Change also modifies sloping plan by removing <br /> the requirement to slope the hard sandstone face from near vertical to 3:1. This will leave a final face so the <br /> upper portions is sloped 3:1 and the clay layer is sloped 3:1 and the sandstone face is left vertical so it blends <br /> with surrounding canyon areas. This amendment will not increase activities at the mine only the life of the <br /> mine. The reclamation plan is unchanged as the mined areas will be reclaimed as rangeland. <br />
