deposit will be mined three to six feet deep using loaders and haul trucks. Final depth will be <br /> determined by the configuration of each of the four recreation fields. Upon final excavation of <br /> each pit, the pit will be immediately reclaimed and converted to an athletic field. Thus, no more <br /> than one pit will be mined at a time. The groundwater table will not be encountered during <br /> mining as the water table is currently at least 15 feet below the surface in the permit area. <br /> Mining will progress as shown on Map C-2. All mining will be to final 3H:1V slopes on the <br /> perimeter. The active mining highwall will be mined to the final 3H:1 V mining slope. This means <br /> that at no point in the operations life will backfill be required for reclamation. The maximum <br /> disturbance at any time will be at the end of the mine life when the largest amount of rangeland <br /> requiring topsoil and revegetation is present. This worse-case scenario would be when one of <br /> the recreation fields is mined, but has not been reclaimed or converted to a recreation field. This <br /> worse-case scenario would also include the need to reclaim the soil storage area. This scenario <br /> will determine the bond calculation and is discussed in detail in Exhibit L. <br /> 1.3. Equipment <br /> Table D-1 shows the type of equipment that will be used for the operations of this site. Once <br /> operations are complete, all equipment will be removed from the site. <br /> Mystic Soil D-2 Lewicki 81 Associates <br /> November 2020 <br />
