disturbance of the mining operation. The maximum mining disturbance at any one time will be 5-10 <br />acres in size, not including the faculties area. <br />A natural visual berm will be left in place along the western edge of the disturbed area in order to <br />control stormwater runoff by directing it into the disturbed areas, where it will infiltrate into the <br />ground water table. No stormwater will be discharged from the site. Only the internal mine road, <br />conveyor belt, and the facilities area will be sources of constant disturbance. At no point will the <br />entire site be disturbed. <br />Topsoil and overburden will be used to construct the berms as shown on Map C -2A at the <br />beginning of operations. These berms will be revegetated within seven days of its construction <br />being complete. Topsoil and overburden will be stored in separate berms. <br />The initial cuts in Pits 2 and 3 will supply topsoil and overburden to be used in the reclamation of a <br />previously mined area. The stockpiled topsoil and overburden are anticipated to be used in final <br />reclamation of the pits. <br />All material will be crushed and screened, with some material being further crushed and some <br />material being washed. Initial crushing and screening will take place nearer to the active mining <br />highwall, with a loader directly feeding the mobile crusher/screen. This crushed and screened <br />material is then transported to the facilities area nearer the site entrance by means of a continuous <br />conveyor belt situated three feet above the ground. Map C -2A shows the site layout including the <br />conveyor belt route. <br />Material transferred to the facilities area may be directly loaded into equipment for off-site delivery. <br />Material not directly loaded onto equipment for delivery will be stored in stockpiles in the facilities <br />area (Map C -2A). Portions of this material are further processed to produce higher value products <br />such as washed rock or further crushed and screened to be sold to off-site asphalt or concrete <br />production. The pit will have one or two off-highway haul trucks on-site in order to efficiently <br />move material in the pit. The off-highway haul trucks used for relocating stockpiles and <br />transporting customer supplied fill material from the facilities area to the crusher and screener <br />should not need to be operated continuously in the pit. <br />Rincon Materials D-2 Grey; lxwicki and Ass iafm PLLC <br />February 2020 <br />
