below 20 feet. Given the variability of water depth, the operator will monitor the pit bottom <br /> throughout the mining process and ensure that if any grounwater is encountered, it is backfilled <br /> and buried to a depth of two feet. For the purpose of this application, the pit floor is shown at a <br /> depth of 20 feet in Map C-2. This is the absolute maximum depth assuming no groundwater. <br /> Mining will progress through the areas in numerical order moving from north to south. Topsoil <br /> and overburden from a new area will be used to reclaim the previous area. This will reduce <br /> material moving as well as reduce the maximum area to be reclaimed. A table of expected <br /> mining lives for each area is included in Table D-1. The life of each pit is based on the <br /> anticipated annual average tonnage. <br /> No explosives will be used in conjunction with the mining operation. <br /> 2. Mining Timetable <br /> The following timetable is a best estimate of the sequence of operations for the life of the mine <br /> after June 2018 and is based on mining 10 feet of gravel and selling 10,000 tons of total product <br /> per year. Area locations are shown on Map C-2, Appendix 2. <br /> Table D-1 Mining Timetable <br /> Area Mining Time Material Quantity <br /> 1 0 Years Mined out Tons <br /> 2 8 Years 78,100 Tons <br /> 3 10 Years 96,600 Tons <br /> 4 14 Years 143,900 Tons <br /> 5 13 Years 127,000 Tons <br /> 6 13 Years 125,400 Tons <br /> 7 8 Years 81,600 Tons <br /> Total 66 Years 652,600 Tons <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.
