will be calculated on an ongoing basis as reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. <br /> Therefore, surplus material estimates will become readily apparent as mining and reclamation <br /> progresses from area to area. <br /> No pit dewatering will take place, as the groundwater table is well below the planned bottom of <br /> the pit. <br /> Topsoil and overburden from a new area will be used to reclaim the previous area. This will <br /> reduce material moving as well as reduce the maximum area to be reclaimed. Table D-1 shows <br /> a timeline of the mining operation. The life of each pit is based on the anticipated annual <br /> average tonnage. <br /> No explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining operation. <br /> 2. Mining Timetable <br /> Table D-1 Mining Timetable <br /> Activity Time <br /> Installation of site road First month <br /> Initial mining to develop first 5 acres Years 1-2 <br /> Mining first 30 foot cut Years 2-3 <br /> Mining remaining deposit behind natural visual berms Years 3-12 <br /> Mining out final natural visual berm Year 12 <br /> L Reclamation of facilities area and internal roads Years 12-14 <br /> The mining schedule is planned to minimize disturbance by reclaiming areas as additional <br /> mining is undertaken. Note: If large contracts are awarded to the site, production could increase <br /> to the permit maximum,thereby curtailing the life of the pit. On the other hand, if contracts are <br /> less than anticipated, the life of the pit could be extended. This table is based on a reasonable <br /> projection of average production rates. <br /> 3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br /> The site will contain the following facilities, it is noted where applicable whether or not the <br /> facility is portable and whether it will have any fuel storage associated with it. A summary of <br /> equipment and related tanks is shown below. <br /> Tower Pit X L",1-111 and 1 k, n <br /> October 2018 D-3 <br />
