(c) Water Diversions and Impoundments <br />No surface water diversions are planned during mining of the site. Groundwater <br />shall be diverted by pumping from dewatering trenches to a settling pond <br />impoundment as shown in Exhibit D Sheet-2. It should be noted that as part of <br />the reclamation plan, a stormwater diversion swale will be constructed around <br />Cell 2A for the purpose of diverting stormwater runoff from being impounded by <br />the reservoir. <br />(d) The Size of Areas to be Worked at Any One Time <br />Since both Cells 2 and 4 and 2A will be worked at the same time, the size of area <br />to be worked at any one time is approximately 100 acres. <br />(e) Mining Timetable <br />Currently, the only remaining pit run occurs in Cell 4. Mining of Cell 4 is expected <br />to be completed by the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022. Additional excavation <br />of Cell 2A will occur 2021-2022 to advance the reservoir volume, however no <br />saleable material remains in Cell 2A. <br />(f) The Nature of Deposit to be Mined and Overburden <br />The thickness of sand and gravel to be mined varies from 0-14 ft. The thickness <br />of overburden varies from 5-13 ft. The stratum underneath the sand and gravel <br />deposit is weathered claystone followed by indurated claystone. <br />(g) Secondary Commodities <br />Overburden will be used as structural fill for various local construction projects. <br />(h) Use of Incidental products <br />Other than structural fill identified above, no other incidental products are <br />expected to be extracted from the site. <br />(i) Explosives <br />No explosives will be used <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
