Processinq Equipment <br /> Screens, wash plant, crusher, conveyors, stackers, and other miscellaneous processing <br /> equipment. <br /> Earth Moving Equipment <br /> Dozers, loaders, scrapers, excavators, and compactors will be used for mining and earth <br /> moving operations. <br /> Miscellaneous Equipment <br /> Dewatering pumps, electrical trailer, generator trailer, small portable generators and <br /> watering trucks will be used as needed. <br /> As mining progresses, topsoil and overburden will be stripped to expose the aggregate product <br /> below. All soil and overburden material will be used on-site for reclamation; so long-term <br /> stockpiling of these materials is not anticipated. Overburden stockpiles will be located within the <br /> proposed mining area. The stockpiles will be placed parallel to the floodplain to mitigate impacts <br /> to the floodplain. <br /> Mining of the aggregate will progress down to the underlying bedrock. Since reclamation will <br /> occur concurrently with mining, it is not anticipated that overburden material will be stockpiled <br /> long-term prior to use in production of road base. During mining the mining face for Phases 1 <br /> and 2 will have a 3H:1 V slope to bedrock or the bottom of the future reclaimed reservoir. The <br /> processed aggregate material will be temporarily stockpiled near the portable processing plant. <br /> Recommendations for monitoring of slope stability, including, conducting a visual inspection of <br /> the excavated slopes on a weekly basis for the duration of mining, conducting a visual <br /> inspection after a major precipitation event that has saturated the ground using the same <br /> procedures, contacting qualified personnel to evaluate and recommend remediation work to <br /> stabilize the area in the event a visual inspection detects signs of potential slope failure, and if <br /> no visible signs of slope failure are detected during mining, reducing visual inspections to once <br /> every six months after mining completion, or after every major precipitation event. <br /> All local, State, and Federal rules and regulations will be followed for the storage and handling <br /> of any fuel for the facilities. <br /> Topsoil Handling Plan <br /> As stated previously the topsoil will be stripped to expose the aggregate product underlying the <br /> topsoil. The topsoil will be stripped using scrapers and stockpiled in the topsoil stockpile as <br /> depicted in Exhibit C. The volume of topsoil for all the mining phases is approximately 115,000 <br /> cubic yards. The depth of the topsoil is approximately twelve inches over the majority of the <br /> mining area. The topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled during each phase of mining where <br /> topsoil will only be removed for Phase 1 and Phase 2 as they are going to be mined. The height <br /> of the topsoil stockpile will be approximately 15 feet. <br /> Mine Phasing <br /> J-2 Contracting anticipates mining and reclaiming the Sunset Industrial Pit in 2 phases, <br /> progressing through the phases as shown on the Mining Plan Map. The overall time required to <br /> complete the mining and reclamation is estimated to be 12 years based on an average rate of <br /> J&T Consulting, -2 Contracting Company <br /> S,Inc..
