?018 Arnold Pit 112 <br />f, water information - this operation is not expected to directly affect surface or <br />groundwater systems. <br />g. owner of structures and types - There are no structures within 200'. <br />h. soils information - see Exhibit C- Pre -mining and Mining Plan Map 3 of 4 Soils, <br />i. aerial photo - see Exhibit C- Pre -mining and Mining Plan Map 4 of 4 Aerial. <br />6.4.4 EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan <br />a. Method of mining - Mining will commence in 2018. A dozer, loader and/or <br />trucks will be used to push. load and haul topsoil to the topsoil stockpile. Depth of <br />the topsoil ranges from 1-12 inches. 1-12 inches of topsoil will be removed and <br />segregated. This stockpile will be kept safe from damage and contamination from <br />mining activities by isolating it away from these activities. After the topsoil is <br />relocated, the dozer and loader will commence to excavate material (pit run). The <br />loader will dump the pit run into the hopper that feeds the crusher or screen, <br />dumping onto the flat belt(s) that dump(s) into trucks or onto a stacking conveyor <br />that dumps the processed material on to the processed material stockpile. A <br />contractor may process this pit run in a similar manner. <br />b. Earthmoving - earth moving will commence in the southern portion of the pit, <br />moving northerly. <br />c. Water diversions and impoundments - water diversions and impoundments will <br />be constructed only to prevent storm water runoff. The size of the diversion/berm <br />will be approximately 1- 1 !�2 feet in height, a typical motor grader moldboard's <br />height. The location of the diversionlbenn will be approximately 5 feet inside the <br />permit boundary where existing slopes allow, further inside if necessary. Storm <br />water will be allowed to evaporate naturally or will be filtered prior to exiting the <br />site. <br />d. Size of area to be worked at any one time - app. 39 acres. <br />e. Appr. time table to describe the mining operation - if everything goes as planned, <br />we'll commence earthmoving, in the southern portion of this pit, in 2018 followed <br />shortly by processing the material. We'll reclaim excavated sites, if area and <br />sequences allow, as we excavate different areas using the most recent excavated <br />materials to reclaim previously excavated areas. <br />i. Estimated time for each stage the entire excavation of the site should take <br />appy. 20 years from the day of commencement. The reclamation should start <br />within 4 years of the ceasing of mining activities and should be completed <br />within 5 years. <br />ii. Description of size and location - we're anticipating the size to be app. 39 <br />acres and the location to be the same during this phase of excavation. <br />iii. Sequence of each stage or phase - The stripping of the topsoil phase will <br />commence prior to crews and/or contractor(s) starting the processing phase. <br />Once enough material is processed, the hauling of processed material from <br />the site will commence and be placed on surrounding County roads. We're <br />anticipating the stripping phase will commence in 2018. Estimated time for <br />each phase will depend on material demand but the stripping phase should <br />Arrkild 141 Raue 2 423 <br />
