"The materials used in backfilling will be carefully monitored to insure that the material is inert and will <br /> not decompose into anything that would pollute ground or surface water resources or produce gases such <br /> as methane as a result of their decomposition, if buried." <br /> "All disposal materials, other than sand processing waste, will usually be disposed of in piles to be <br /> incorporated into the final ground as the grading is completed." <br /> • Daniel's Sand Pit#2 (East Pit Area)Notice: <br /> The Notice shall include, at a minimum, the following information,Rule 3.1.5(9): <br /> a. "a narrative that describes the approximate location of the proposed activity;" <br /> Initially, the imported material may be placed either in stockpiles within the confines of the <br /> mined out Daniel's Sand Pit#2 (the East Pit Area). Or depending on the stage of mining and <br /> site reclamation, material may be placed directly in areas needing backfilled or for other uses <br /> such as sediment containment berms. If placed in a temporary stockpile, the material will be <br /> located close to the point of use, such as pit highwalls or steep slopes so it may be easily <br /> placed. <br /> Imported material includes clean excavated construction waste, construction material not <br /> suitable as structural fill, and silica sand slurry wash fines (10%approximate moisture <br /> content). These materials will be placed on the pit floor and at the toe of steep slopes or <br /> highwalls. In addition, these materials may be used for pit interior sediment control berms. <br /> Use of these imported materials will aid in achieving the final reclamation topography. <br /> b. "the approximate volume of the inert material to be backfilled;" <br /> We cannot provide an answer to this question. This is a very large operation. The amount of <br /> material delivered on an annual basis is minimal compared to the amount of annual pit <br /> production. In addition, acceptance will be based on customer need. We will however, limit <br /> our acceptance to no more than 54,450 tons in any given year. <br /> (5 acres)((5ft. deep)(43,560ft/acre) equals approximately 40,333 cubic yards <br /> 27 ft./cubic yard <br /> (40,333 cubic yards)(1.35 tons of soil/cubic yard)= 54,450 tons. <br /> C. "a signed affidavit certifying that the material is clean and inert, as defined in Rule <br /> 1.1.(20)." <br /> Please see the attached example material affidavit. <br /> 2 <br />
