MINING PLAN <br /> The mining will begin with stripping and stockpiling of <br /> overburden which will be used in later reclamation. Gravel <br /> will be excavated and loaded into trucks using a front end <br /> loader or backhoe. The full depth of useable gravel down to <br /> bedrock will be excavated. Pumping will .be required to main- <br /> tain a dry pit. <br /> Mining will proceed from the northwest corner in a <br /> southerly and easterly direction. Temporary backslopes will <br /> be left at the angle of repose. (Approximately 1i horizontal <br /> to 1 vertical) . <br /> The overburden depth varies from zero to approximately <br /> 10 feet. Gravel depth is approximately 15 feet. The bedrock <br /> beneath the gravel is Mancos Shale. <br /> The size of the area to be disturbed at any one time will <br /> be less than 17 acres. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> 1 <br /> i <br /> i <br /> I <br /> 1 <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br /> I <br /> i <br />
