Mining activities are expected to occur throughout the year. Expected annual average <br /> production is <70,000 tons. Raw material will be processed and sold as various products: <br /> crushed rock, chips, road base, concrete, and asphalt. "Naturals" or sandy fines from the <br /> screening operation will be mixed into overburden and are expected to make up approximately <br /> 10%of the raw material mined. Topsoil and overburden from newly disturbed areas will be <br /> used to reclaim mined out areas; therefore, total site disturbance will be minimized as <br /> reclamation will occur concurrently with mining. <br /> 2. Mining Timetable <br /> Projected average annual production for the Fillmore Pit is <70,000 tons per year. It is <br /> estimated that the site will be active for 5-10 years. However, the site has potential to exist <br /> over a longer time frame if mining occurs at a rate much lower than 70,000 tons per year and <br /> will be dictated by market conditions. <br /> 3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br /> No toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered during the mining operation as the <br /> site was historically rangeland. An approximately 3-acre processing area will begin in the <br /> center of the site. Aggregate processing equipment is portable, and the processing area may <br /> move and follow active mining throughout the site. Portable mining equipment such as <br /> loaders, dozers, trucks and excavators will be serviced on an as-needed basis onsite. Upon <br /> reclamation, all portable equipment will be removed from the site. A summary of equipment <br /> and related tanks that may exist on site at any given time is listed below. <br /> - A portable asphalt plant with associated tanks <br /> - A portable concrete plant with associated tanks <br /> - Crushing and Screening Plant <br /> - Truck scales <br /> - A portable office trailer <br /> - Equipment parking and maintenance <br /> - Overflow resource stockpiling <br /> - A portable crusher with associated tanks <br />
