Material Processing and Associated Facilities <br /> A portable processing facility for product crushing and screening will be brought to the site and <br /> used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is <br /> occurring or near the site entrance. A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage <br /> may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled or <br /> conveyed to the processing plant where raw material and product stockpiles will be located. <br /> Alternatively, the material may be hauled off-site as pit run for direct use or processing <br /> elsewhere. <br /> In addition to the portable processing facility, a portable asphalt plant may also be used on the <br /> site as needed. The asphalt plant would be located in the mine pit or close to the site entrance <br /> near the portable processing facility to minimize material handling and hauling distances. <br /> A mine office/scale house trailer will be established near the site entrance. The office/scale <br /> house area may be used for employee parking, equipment fueling/lubricating, or equipment <br /> storage. <br /> Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use <br /> Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the <br /> proposed Lazy Two Pit site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel <br /> exist up to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and <br /> gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non-marketable topsoil and overburden materials will be <br /> used on-site for reclamation. <br /> Use of Explosives <br /> Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no explosives or blasting is required. <br /> Lazy Two Pit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 9 <br />
