The equipment and facilities may include, but are not limited to the following: <br /> Processing Equipment <br /> Screens, crusher, conveyors, stackers, and other miscellaneous processing equipment. <br /> Earth Moving Equipment <br /> Dozers, loaders, scrapers, excavators, and compactors will be used for mining and earth <br /> moving operations. <br /> Miscellaneous Equipment <br /> Dewatering pumps, electrical trailer, scale, scale house, generator trailer, small portable <br /> generators and water trucks will be used as needed. <br /> As mining progresses, topsoil and overburden will be stripped to expose the aggregate product <br /> below. Portions of soil and overburden material will be used on-site for reclamation and portions <br /> will be sold as construction products; Overburden and topsoil stockpiles will be located within <br /> the proposed permit area and placed to minimize impact to potential floodwaters. The stockpiles <br /> will be placed outside the floodway but will be within the floodplain. <br /> Mining of the aggregate will progress down to the underlying bedrock. During mining the mining <br /> face will have a 3H:1 V slope. The processed aggregate material will be temporarily stockpiled <br /> near the processing plant site, and then loaded onto trucks or rail cars for delivery. <br /> The wash plants will utilize either water from a well that has been permitted to allow commercial <br /> use (see Exhibit G, Lamar Farms Well No. 5) or groundwater pumped from the bottom of the <br /> active mining area. The wash plant discharges and all stormwater drainage within the permitted <br /> area will be directed to sediment ponds within the permit area to allow sediment to settle from <br /> the water before either being discharged (pumped) into a farm ditch, on the north side of the <br /> permitted area which drains to the Arkansas River, or recycled and recirculated back to the <br /> wash plants after the sediment has been removed. <br /> The wash plant on the west side of the mine receives water from a well to use in washing <br /> product. The discharge from this plant is directed to 2 sediment ponds which drain to the east <br /> where flows enter a ditch and are collected in a pond in the Phase 2 area. Water from this pond <br /> is pumped through a pipe to a series of 3 sediment ponds located in the Phase 9 area. <br /> When the sediment has settled from the water in the 3 sediment ponds in the Phase 9 area, the <br /> clean water is recycled and pumped through a pipe to the wash plant in the Phase 2 area to <br /> wash product. An additional sediment pond has been constructed in the Phase 9 area to be <br /> used when one of the primary 3 ponds is being cleaned, to ensure that 3 sediment ponds are <br /> utilized to treat wash plant discharges at all times. All sediment ponds are cleaned as needed <br /> and the removed fines stockpiled either adjacent to the ponds or in the fines stockpile in the <br /> Phase 9 area. <br /> The discharge from the wash plant in the Phase 2 area is directed to a sediment pond on the pit <br /> floor and then pumped through a pipe to the series of 3 sediment ponds in the Phase 9 area. <br /> See the attached stormwater management plan for details on the sediment control measures <br /> utilized on the site, maintenance schedules for the control measures, drainage patterns on the <br /> site, and discharge monitoring requirements for the site. <br /> JaT Consulting,Inc.Inc Prowers Aggregate Operators, LLC. <br /> West Farm Pit—M-2008-078 <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Amendment Application <br />
