C-9 rl <br /> In either situation,surplus capacity within the fines recovery pit would be first utilized to accommodate the <br /> additional process slurry tonnage; or, if additional fines disposal capacity is determined necessary, such <br /> would be accomplished within a portion of the main pit(via Technical Revision). <br /> 4) Phase 5: Site Reclamation: On completion of mining and processing activities, all plant facilities and <br /> supporting infrastructure will be removed from the site. Site reclamation will be carried out in a manner <br /> consistent with that presented in Exhibit D: Reclamation Plan. <br /> Given the foregoing general discussion as to the overall scope of the Keenesburg Project, specific project <br /> components are discussed,in sequence, as per the requirements of Rule 6.3.3 (a)through(f). <br /> (a) ESTIMATED DATE MINING WILL COMMENCE AND END <br /> It is anticipated that"mining"(defined as the initiation of pre-stripping excavation activities)will commence during <br /> the 31d Quarter (Q3) of calendar year 2019, subject to procurement of all necessary permits, approvals, and <br /> authorizations. <br /> The actual mining of sand materials (and processing operations) will commence immediately thereafter, and <br /> continue for an estimated 3 to 6 month duration (with 3 months of"effective production time", defined as dryer <br /> operational time). The duration of actual mining(and processing) activity is constrained by the estimated available <br /> resource, and potentially subject to unforeseeable process interruptions and/or weather-induced delays,etc. <br /> Site closure and reclamation will commence following completion of all mining and processing operations. Atthis <br /> juncture, it is anticipated that site closure and reclamation can be accomplished by end of 2nd Quarter (Q2) of <br /> calendar year 2020. Site closure and reclamation activities are further described in Exhibit D: Reclamation Plan, <br /> and depicted in Exhibit E-2: Reclamation Plan Map. <br />
