and still remain approximately 5 feet above ground water. The south portion <br /> of Phase I and the north portion of Phase II has been mined to a final <br /> elevation of 8095. The remaining area on the north portion of Phase I and <br /> the south portion of Phase II will be mined to its final elevation of 8095 in <br /> the year 2022. Once Phase I and Phase II are at their final depth the <br /> operations will continue into Phase III to the east, Phase IV to the northeast, <br /> Phase V to the northwest Phase VI to the west and then the final Phase VII <br /> to the south. The elevation of the pit floor shall remain at 8095 for the entire <br /> permitted area. <br /> e. Mining began on Phase I in the spring of 2010 and has continuously <br /> been mined as well as Phase II for the past 12 years. At the present timed it <br /> is believed that there is less than a year of mining material available in the <br /> current 15 acre parcel and expansion will begin to Phase III in order to <br /> continue the business and supply our community with much needed <br /> materials for construction projects. Depending on the demand for product it <br /> is estimated that approximately 1.5 to 2.0 acres per year would be mined. <br /> Once all stockpiles of material are depleted and the mining and stockpiling <br /> has progressed on to Phases IV thru VII the boundary walls in phases I and <br /> III will be reclaimed to pastureland. <br /> PHASE I <br /> Year Elevation Disturbed Reclaimed Acres <br /> Acres <br /> Sta el <br /> 2010 8150 2.0 <br /> 2011 3.0 <br /> 2012 4.0 <br /> 2013 5.0 <br /> Stage 2 <br /> 2014 8130 6.0 <br /> 2015 7.0 <br /> 2016 8110 7.5 <br /> 2022 8095 7.5 <br />
