SCOTT <br /> dewatering operations, and confirms that no wetlands on neighboring <br /> properties will be injured as a result of the dewatering operations, which <br /> is instructive regarding the stability in and around the rerouted ditch. <br /> b. The outfall location of the relocated tailwater ditch, which presently runs <br /> east to west across the property, is identified on the attached Exhibit B. <br /> c. As noted in the original application, the property holds an estimated 3MM <br /> (3,000,000) tons of material, which Scott Contracting plans to extract over <br /> a seven (7) year period. Accordingly, the revised yearly extraction rate <br /> will be approximately four-hundred thirty thousand (430,000) per year. <br /> d. The size of each mining phase will be as follows: <br /> i. Phase 1: 350,000 sq. ft. or 8.1 acres <br /> ii. Phase 2: 400,000 sq. ft. or 9.2 acres <br /> iii. Phase 3: 400,000 sq. ft. or 9.2 acres <br /> iv. Phase 4: 250,000 sq. ft. or 5.7 acres <br /> v. Phase 5: 650,000 sq. ft. or 14.9 acres <br /> A highwall will be utilized during each mining phase, which will have a <br /> maximum height of 21 feet and a maximum width of 75 feet. The material <br /> will be mined using a Caterpillar 980 loader, and then fed into the crusher. <br /> The equipment will not be in one permanent location, but will instead be <br /> moved throughout the property as mining phases are completed. Once a <br /> phase is completely mined out, it will be reclaimed back to a 3:1 slope as <br /> described in the mining plan. <br /> e. The processing equipment will all be temporary, mobile equipment that <br /> will move throughout the site as the mining operation moves from phase <br /> to phase. A wash plant will be included in the processing equipment, and <br /> will require 1,100 gallons of water per minute to process the material. <br /> f. Although Island Park, LLC filed an objection as to whether Scott <br /> Contracting holds a legal right to use or discharge water into the "Island <br /> Park Ditch", the legal argument raised in the Island Park, LLC objection is <br /> inapplicable to the circumstances of the proposed use here. <br /> First, as confirmed by Mr. Jim Snyder, the president of the Loesch and <br /> Crann Ditch Company (also known as the Last Chance Ditch), the Island <br /> Park Ditch is not owned by, or part of, the Loesch and Crann/Last Chance <br /> Ditch, nor is it managed by the Loesch and Crann Ditch Company. The <br /> Loesch and Crann/Last Chance Ditch does have an agreement to utilize <br /> the Island Park Ditch in limited, emergency circumstances, but does not <br /> own or manage the Island Park Ditch. <br /> The Island Park Ditch crosses the Scott Contracting property in the <br /> northwestern "panhandle" section of the property and cuts off the <br /> northwestern-most segment from the remaining portion of the property, <br /> located to the east. Because the Island Park Ditch crosses the Scott <br />
