(b) Earthmoving: <br /> Earth moving consists of first removing topsoil, then any overburden and finally <br /> aggregate(Little overburden is present with an average depth of 6-12".)The resource <br /> lies beneath the topsoil at most locations.) Once mining is nearing completion,the final <br /> slopes will be mined at a 3H:IV slope. These slopes will then have topsoil placed for <br /> reclamation. <br /> (c) Water diversions and impoundment: <br /> There are no water diversions or impoundments planned forthe mining area. <br /> (d) The sizeof the areas)to be worked at any one time: <br /> Total acres to be stripped in a given year will range from 8 to 20.5 acres,dependent upon <br /> market demand. <br /> (e) An approximate timetable todescribethe mining operation: <br /> This is an ongoing mining operation.The expected life of the mining area is 10 to 20 <br /> years,depending on market demand. We estimate the amount of mineable acres by phase <br /> is as fbllows: <br /> Table I: Phase,Mineable Acres and Timetable <br /> Phase Approximate Mineable Approximate <br /> Acres Production Period <br /> -Years <br /> A* 20.29 3-5 years <br /> B 13.79 2-4 years <br /> C 8.58 1-2 years <br /> D 10.78 2-4 years <br /> 1. 15.01 3-5 years <br /> * Phase A includes about 12 acres ofunntined area in theexisting 112 Construction <br /> Materials pen-nit. The actual added area for Phase A is approximately 8 acres. <br /> (i) An estimate of the periods of time which will he required for the various <br /> phases: <br /> Please see the above Table 1. <br /> (ii)Adescription of thesize and location of each area to beworked duringeach <br /> phase: <br /> Please see the Pre-mine/Mine Plan map and the above Table 1. <br />
