Miscellaneous Equipment <br /> Dewatering pumps, electrical trailer, generator trailer, small portable generators and <br /> watering trucks will be used as needed. <br /> As mining progresses, topsoil and overburden will be stripped to expose the aggregate product <br /> below. All soil and overburden material will be used on-site for reclamation; so long-term <br /> stockpiling of these materials is not anticipated. Overburden stockpiles will be located within the <br /> proposed mining area. The stockpiles will be placed parallel to the floodplain to mitigate impacts <br /> to the floodplain. <br /> Mining of the aggregate will progress down to the underlying bedrock. Since reclamation will <br /> occur concurrently with mining, it is not anticipated that overburden material will be stockpiled <br /> long-term prior to use in production of road base. During mining the mining face will have a <br /> 3HAV slope to bedrock or the bottom of the future reclaimed reservoir. The processed <br /> aggregate material will be temporarily stockpiled near the portable processing plant. <br /> Recommendations for monitoring of slope stability, including, conducting a visual inspection of <br /> the excavated slopes on a weekly basis for the duration of mining, conducting a visual <br /> inspection after a major precipitation event that has saturated the ground using the same <br /> procedures, contacting qualified personnel to evaluate and recommend remediation work to <br /> stabilize the area in the event a visual inspection detects signs of potential slope failure, and if <br /> no visible signs of slope failure are detected during mining, reducing visual inspections to once <br /> every six months after mining completion, or after every major precipitation event. <br /> All local, State, and Federal rules and regulations will be followed for the storage and handling <br /> of any fuel for the facilities. <br /> Topsoil Handling Plan <br /> As stated previously the topsoil will be stripped to expose the aggregate product underlying the <br /> topsoil. The topsoil will be stripped using scrapers and stockpiled in the topsoil stockpile as <br /> depicted in Exhibit C. The volume of topsoil for all the mining phases is approximately 306,000 <br /> cubic yards. The depth of the topsoil is approximately twelve inches over the majority of the <br /> mining area. The topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled during each phase of mining where <br /> topsoil will only be removed for Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4, and Phase 5 as they are <br /> going to be mined. The height of the topsoil stockpile will be approximately 15 feet. <br /> Mine Phasinq <br /> J-2 Contracting anticipates mining and reclaiming the DPG Mining site in 5 phases, progressing <br /> through the phases as shown on the Mining Plan Map. The overall time required to complete <br /> the mining and reclamation is estimated to be 30 years. Maximum production is expected to be <br /> 750,000 tons per year. However, it is possible that due to demand fluctuations, mining could <br /> progress slower than anticipated and additional time may be required for mining and <br /> reclamation of the site. J-2 Contracting Company will mine down to an elevation of 4523 in <br /> Phase 1 of the mining plan encompassing a total of 24.6 acres of the mining limits and <br /> groundwater will be exposed. A slurry wall will be constructed around Phase 1. <br /> The operator is proposing to mine Phase 1 first that is 27.15 acres and during this mining there <br /> will be 65.4 acres disturbed to provide locations for a scale house and site entrance roadway, <br /> haul roads, stockpiles, processing areas, settling ponds, a recharge pond, and an overflow pipe <br /> from the recharge pond that are outside of Phase 1.
