6.4.4(e) <br /> Mining will be completed based on market conditions over up to five phases. Mining will begin <br /> with initial opening and the creation of the site processing area as Phase 1, followed by mining <br /> Phase 2 —the west extent of the quarry and development of the realigned CCP, and mining Phase <br /> 3 —the east extent of the site which further develops the Phase 1 area. Phases 4 and 5 will be <br /> mined if a post-mine reservoir is planned. Phases may be mined out of numerical order. Phase 3 <br /> mining may occur concurrently with other mining phases. Map C-2 shows the initial mining plan <br /> with projected phasing and F-1 features the Reclamation plan. <br /> The mining schedule is planned to minimize disturbance by reclaiming mined-out areas as new <br /> mining phases become active. Note: if large contracts are awarded to the site, production could <br /> increase and reduce the life of the quarry. Conversely, if contracts are less than anticipated, the <br /> life of the quarry could be extended. <br /> Approximate projected acreage, anticipated recoverable tons, duration of mining, and WRL <br /> acreages are shown in Table D-1 for each phase. To calculate anticipated recovered tons, a <br /> mining rate of one-million tons per year was used for Pre-mining/Opening and Phase 1 <br /> approximations. While for Phases 2—5, including bedrock and gravel mining, a rate of three- <br /> million mined tons per year was used to approximate the duration of mining. <br /> 6.4.4(e)(i) <br /> See Table D-1. <br /> 6.4.4(e)(ii) <br /> See Table D-1. <br /> 6.4.4(fl(i) <br /> Metamorphic rock blasting and mining will reach a depth of approximately 7,850-foot elevation. <br /> This is below the pre-mine ground surface even if Phases 4 and 5 are not mined(Map C-5). If a <br /> reservoir is chosen and/or Phases 4 and 5 are mined, the western half of the quarry will be mined <br /> to an elevation of approximately 7,535 feet while the eastern half of the quarry will be mined to <br /> Young Ranch Resource �.,�., .. ,,.«,,_V11.< <br /> February 2020 D-15 <br />
