Section 3.1.11 Buildings and Structures: <br /> There are two existing homes located within the perimeter of the permit boundary. The <br /> house on the western edge of the property, off of Highway 66, will be utilized as an office. <br /> A shop may be built adjacent to the office. This area will be mined out in the final phase <br /> and will be incorporated into Cell 8. The home on the eastern boundary of the site will be <br /> dismantled and the area will be incorporated into Cell 4. <br /> An aggregate processing plant, a concrete batch plant and an asphalt plant will be located <br /> at the site during the duration of mining operations. These structures will be removed and <br /> the areas below mined out prior to final reclamation. The plant structures are shown on <br /> Figure C-6. <br /> Conveyors will be constructed at the site to move material from the cells to the processing <br /> plant. <br /> Section 3.1.12 Signs and Markers: <br /> The Operator will post appropriate signage at the entrance to the mine site. The permit <br /> area will be marked by fencing, or proximity to existing County roads. <br /> (d) Plans for topsoil segregation,preservation and replacement;for stabilization, <br /> compaction and grading of spoil;and for revegetation. <br /> Topsoil will be removed and segregated from other spoil. Topsoil not needed for <br /> reclamation may be sold or removed from the site. For reclamation,topsoil will be <br /> replaced by a scraper and generally graded with a blade. Grading shall be done in a <br /> manner that controls erosion and siltation of the affected land and protects areas outside <br /> the affected land from slides and other damage. In addition, backfilling and grading shall <br /> be completed as soon as feasible after the mining process. <br /> Final grading will create a final topography that is appropriate for the final land use. For <br /> example,final grading of the reservoir above the high water line will replace material no <br /> steeper than 3:1 slope to meet the grade at the top of the banks. For cells mined at <br /> greater than a 3:1 slope, the slopes will be reclaimed at a 4:1 slope to meet existing grade. <br /> Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on areas disturbed by the mining, above the <br /> anticipated high water line. The minimum thickness shall be 6 inches above the <br /> surrounding finished grade. The topsoil shall be keyed to the underlying and surrounding <br /> material by the use of harrows, rollers or other equipment suitable for the purpose. <br /> In those areas where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, the Operator will <br /> revegetate the land in such a manner to establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting <br /> vegetative cover that is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on <br /> irrigation or fertilizer and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural vegetation of the <br /> surrounding area. Seed will be drilled and mulched. <br /> Section 20-Gravel Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit E-4 <br />
