2.1 . Equipment <br /> Table D-2 — Equipment and Facilities shows the equipment and facilities to be located at the Cerise <br /> Mine during its life. This is an estimate, and may change over the course of operations in order to <br /> facilitate the mining and reclamation plans. <br /> Table D-2 — Equipment and Facilities <br /> Equipment Structures <br /> Full time <br /> Loaders 1 Scale 1 <br /> `Concrete batch plant 3 <br /> Temporary <br /> Loaders 3 Portable crushing plant 1 <br /> Dozers 1 Portable wash plant 1 <br /> Scrapers 2-4 Trash dumpster 1 <br /> Grader 1 Portable toilets 2-4 <br /> Water truck 1 <br /> Only a loader and scale will be located on site full time, as most of the year the pit will not need to <br /> be running at full production. Equipment needed to produce material during the construction season <br /> will all be portable, and only present for the time needed to satisfy demands at the time. United will <br /> provide portable toilets and bottled water to employees on site during operations. Process water <br /> and dust control water needs will be satisfied by leased BWCD water. <br /> In the event that a concrete batch plant is installed at the Cerise Mine, the additional employee <br /> presence will necessitate the construction of a fixed wastewater treatment system and potable <br /> water well. These facilities will be installed at least six months in advance of the concrete batch <br /> plant coming on site. <br /> 2.2. Blasting <br /> No blasting will take place at the Cerise Mine. <br /> 3. Topsoil and Overburden Handling <br /> The topsoil on site is estimated to be 6 to 12 inches thick, with the overburden stretching down 5 to <br /> 22 feet. All overburden and topsoil will be stripped for use in later reclamation. All overburden and <br /> topsoil stockpiles and berms will be seeded if they are to be in place longer than 90 days. <br /> Overburden from the first three phases (1 A, 1 B, & 1C) will be stored in a pile located on the <br /> northern two-thirds of Phase 1C. Topsoil from these areas will be stored in a topsoil storage berm <br /> and pile along the southwest sides of Phase 1A, 1 B, & 1 C (Maps C-2 through C-6). Overburden will <br /> be used to backfill Phase 1A to original ground level as well as backfill slopes on the west and north <br /> Cerise Mine <br /> D-4 Lewicki&Associates <br /> June 2021 <br />
