(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.) Mining will commence and be maintained at <br /> a 3H:1 V slope and will continue through the entire mining process. These slopes will <br /> then have topsoil placed for reclamation. <br /> (e) Water diversions and impoundment: <br /> There are no water diversions or impoundments planned forthe mining area. <br /> (d) The size of the area(s)to be worked at any one time: <br /> Total acres to be stripped in a given year will range from 8 to 20.29 acres,dependent <br /> upon market demand. <br /> (e) An approximate timetable to describe the 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 ofmineable acres by phase <br /> is as follows: <br /> Table 1: Phase, Mineable Acres and Timetable <br /> Phase Approximate <br /> Approximate Mineable Production Period <br /> Acres -Years <br /> A* 20.29 3-5 years <br /> B 20.13 3-5years <br /> C 8.58 1-2 years <br /> D 11.76 2-4 years <br /> E 15.01 3-5 years <br /> Access Road 2.15 Not to be reclaimed <br /> * Phase A includes about 10.29 acres of unmined area in the existing 112 Construction <br /> Materials permit. The actual added area for Phase A is approximately 10 acres. <br /> (i) An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various <br /> phases: <br /> Please see the above Table 1. <br /> (ii) A description of the size and location of each area to be worked during each <br /> phase: <br /> Please see the Pre-mine/Mine Plan map and the above Table 1. <br />
