MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D(CONT) <br /> section. It will then be seeded when the area is reclaimed. The <br /> Typical Armoring Cross Section show on Figure D-2 provides <br /> details . <br /> This pit will be operated year-around by Ellicott Sand & <br /> Gravel LLC, weather permitting. There may be periods when the <br /> demands for material are slow and no mining will take place at <br /> which time the mine will become an Intermediate Operation. <br /> Stockpiles of material will be maintained on the site and as the <br /> need arises, it will be hauled to our project sites or sold to <br /> the public . <br /> This will be a six stage operation, starting in Stage I and <br /> working counter clock wise around the permit area so mining ends <br /> in the northeast corner. Generally, mining will be to the north <br /> and south depending on what stage is being mined with the mining <br /> face extended across each stage from east to west . <br /> Review of MAP EXHIBIT C-1 shows how we expect the site to look <br /> when mining is approximately 20% done . Note, the floor of the <br /> excavation is flat and the exterior slopes into the mined area <br /> are graded 3 : 1 where reclaimed, 2 : 1 when temporary grading is <br /> done and near vertical where mining is taking place . Material <br /> will be left along the mine perimeter to do a cut/fill sloping <br /> operations for the final slopes . <br /> Mining equipment may include but is not limited to, front- <br /> end loaders, scrapers, bulldozers, dump trucks and a water truck. <br /> Processing equipment may include but is not limited to conveyors, <br /> crushers and screen plants . A scale and scale house as well as a <br /> shop and maintenance building may also be built at the mine <br /> during its life. No blasting will take place at this mine . <br /> As much as possible, the surface drainage will be maintained <br /> in the same direction as it now exists . The proposed sloping <br /> plan for the excavated area should eliminate any concerns of <br /> erosion occurring on the site . The ephemeral drainages will not <br /> be disturbed by mining. <br /> On a typical operation of this type we may use up to 3 ac-ft <br /> of water per year. Most of the water used for dust control will <br /> be used on haul roads . Please refer to EXHIBIT G -WATER for the <br /> discussion of how water will be used at the site and the source <br /> of said water. <br /> 8(revised 10.31/19) <br />
