Stage 6—will consist of mining out Cell 7 and concurrently reclaiming Cell 6. Cell 7 contains <br /> four(2)approximately one(1)year phases. Cell 6 will be a slurry wall lined cell and will be dry <br /> mined. <br /> Topsoil from this stage will be segregate and stockpiled in the western portion of Cell <br /> 2(Siltation Pit)to be utilized in reclamation of the silt pond back to native grade. <br /> Slope reclamation of the previous phases will be concurrent with mining. Overburden will be <br /> placed in the reclamation slope or stockpiled in the bottom of the pit next to the current <br /> reclamation phase.Any overburden not used in slope reclamation will be placed in the unused <br /> portion of Cell 2(Siltation Pond). <br /> Stage 7—the final stage will begin with mining out the aggregate under the Asphalt Plant,the <br /> Concrete Batch Plant and the office area.The last portion to be mined out will be the <br /> Aggregate Plant. Stage 7 will take approximately two(2)years and will establish Cell 8. <br /> Topsoil from this stage will be segregate and stockpiled in the western portion of Cell <br /> 2(Siltation Pit)to be utilized in reclamation of the silt pond back to native grade. Once mining is <br /> complete at the site,the topsoil berm will be mined and used in any areas needing topsoil for <br /> reclamation. <br /> Slope reclamation of the previous phases will be concurrent with mining.Overburden will be <br /> placed in the reclamation slope or stockpiled in the bottom of the pit next to the current <br /> reclamation phase.Any overburden not used in slope reclamation will be placed in the unused <br /> portion of Cell 2(Siltation Pond). <br /> The operator will develop and comply with a Stormwater Management Plan and Spill, <br /> Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan. The operator will notify the Division of <br /> Reclamation and Mine Safety and in the event of a reportable spill. <br /> Processing: <br /> The material will be dry screened or not screened at all and transported offsite by truck. The <br /> processing area will be located on the south side of the site in Cell 8. <br /> Import Material: <br /> The Operator may import material from and export material to other sites. The applicant is <br /> aware that in accordance with Rule 3.1.5(9)of the Construction Material Rules and <br /> Regulations, if any offsite material is used as backfill, a notarized letter will be submitted to the <br /> Division indicating the materials are inert. The applicant will supply such a letter to the <br /> Division if,at the time of Reclamation,the applicant intends to use off-site material as backfill. <br /> (b) Earthmoving; <br /> Topsoil and overburden will be stripped with scrapers or bulldozers and stockpiled in <br /> segregated piles at the edge of the active mine phase or as described above and shown in <br /> Figure C-6. Excavators,front-end loaders,and bulldozers will be used to excavate the <br /> material. Haul trucks will be utilized to transport the raw material from the active mine phase <br /> to the processing area. See Exhibit C-6 for a cross-section of side-slope mining; mining will <br /> take place at a 3 to 1 mine slope and reclaimed at a 3:1 reclamation slope. The Miner may, in <br /> the future,decide to mine at a 1.5 to 1 slope and reclaim with a 4:1 slope in which case the <br /> Section 20—Gravel Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Amendment <br /> Exhibit D-3 <br />
