h) No water will be used in conjunction with the operation. There could be instances <br /> when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to continue. At those times, mining <br /> will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine again. Mining will not <br /> go into the groundwater at the site. <br /> i) The material to be mined will be used primarily for concrete production. A <br /> secondary use may be road fill or landscaping. <br /> i) Our plans are to mine to a depth of 10' inside the creek bed and up to 20' depth in <br /> the area outside the creek. No slopes will be left greater than 3:1 outside the creek <br /> area. Bank slopes may be left at 2:1. <br /> ii) Based on mining which has occurred in the existing pit area, the material at the <br /> bottom of the pit, primarily a clay material, would be expected to remain consistent <br /> throughout the life of the pit. <br /> j) No mining will take place inside the 200' set back along the west side of the 112 pit. <br /> A twenty-five foot buffer will be left for an unimproved track for inspection and <br /> maintenance. The 200' remaining will provide the cushion to adjacent landowners <br /> and the public roadway. The north and east sides will have a setback of 130' as <br /> agreed to in the original Hansel Pit#1 by the Phillips County Commissioners. <br /> k) No explosives will be used in this mining enterprise. <br />
