(b) Earthmoving: <br /> Earth moving consists of first removing topsoil, then any overburden and finally aggregate <br /> (Little overburden is present with an average depth of6-12")The resource lies beneath the <br /> topsoil at most locations. Mining will commence and be maintained at a 3H: 1V slope and will <br /> continue through the entire mining process. These slopes will then have topsoil replaced for <br /> reclamation. <br /> (c) Water diversions and impoundment: <br /> There are no water diversions or impoundments planned for the 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 a minimum of 11 to a maximum of <br /> 34.08 acres,which include stripped land for mining and land in process of reclamation to <br /> eventually be released by the Division,dependent upon market demand. <br /> (e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation: <br /> This is an ongoing mining operation. The expected life ofthe mining areas 10 to 20years, <br /> depending cn madcet demand We estimate the amount of nvnLvbk acres by phase is as follows: <br /> (0 Advancing to the Next Phase: <br /> Operator will notify the Division when a new phase is about to commence and give an updated <br /> estimate for reclamation cost for the phase that will become active for mining. <br /> Table k Phase, Mineable Acres and Timetable <br /> Phase Approximate Mineable Approximate <br /> Acres Production Period j <br /> 1 -Years <br /> A* 28.87 4-6 years <br /> B 20.13 4(-)years <br /> C 11.76 24 years <br /> D 15.01 3-5 vea�s <br /> * Phase A includes about 18 acres of unmined area in the existing 112 <br /> Construction Materials permit.
