Tr ansit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> screened to appropriate sizes using the portable plant located in the pit area. Fines generated <br /> from the processing will be hauled to stockpile F1. <br /> During Phase I the maximum highwall height is elevation 7,270 feet and the minimum pit floor <br /> depth is elevation 6,940 feet for a total pit depth of 330 feet. The pit wall is traversed by two <br /> segments of haul road, which reduces the pit wall height between significant benches to 150 feet. <br /> Table D-3 illustrates the affected areas during Phase I associated with mining areas, the plant, <br /> roads, topsoil stockpiles, and the overburden/fines stockpile. The category of "Mining Related <br /> Area" accounts for the area between the affected areas and the affected lands boundary. <br /> Disturbances are not planned for these areas, but they may be affected to construct water <br /> management features, perimeter fence, two-track roads, etc. <br /> Phase I-Reclamation <br /> Affected areas adjacent to the access road will be reclaimed immediately following construction <br /> of the road and during Phase I to maximize and encourage available wildlife habitat and minimize <br /> overall disturbance to the land and visual impact. These activities will include placing six inches <br /> of topsoil on the regraded surface and seeded with the seed mix provided in Table E-7. <br /> Phase II-Mining <br /> During Phase 11, mining will continue east until reaching the furthermost eastern endwall (as <br /> shown in Figure C-5). Mining will then begin progressing to the south as shown in Figure C-5. <br /> The topsoil removed during Phase II will be temporarily stored in TS1, TS2 and TS3. After the <br /> topsoil has been removed and stockpiled, drilling and blasting will begin at the top of the Quarry <br /> and proceed downward in benches to remove the competent granite and diabase. <br /> Overburden will be removed and hauled to stockpile F1 as shown in Figure C-5. The blasted <br /> granite and diabase material will be removed with loaders and placed in trucks to be hauled to <br /> the plant area where it will be crushed and screened to appropriate size. The transition from the <br /> portable plant to the permanent plant occurs during Phase II. Fines generated from processing <br /> will be hauled to stockpile F1. <br /> During Phase II, the maximum highwall height is elevation 7,270 feet and the minimum pit floor <br /> depth is elevation 6,940 feet for a total pit depth of 330 feet. <br /> Table D-3 illustrates the affected areas during Phase II of mining. <br /> Phase II-Reclamation <br /> Once the eastern-most portion of the pit has reached the ultimate extent, this area will be <br /> reclaimed during Phase II. Overburden and fines generated from mining will be used to backfill <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> March 20,2018 D-9 <br />
