650,000 tons per year. The initial production is expected to be 300,00 tons per year with the <br /> maximum production expected to be 1,000,000 tons per year. However, it is possible that due to <br /> demand fluctuations, mining could progress slower than anticipated and additional time may be <br /> required for mining and reclamation of the site. <br /> The operator is proposing to mine Phase 1 first. Phase 1 is 64.22 acres and the estimated time <br /> for mining Phase 1 is approximately 9 years and 6 months.. <br /> The operator is proposing to mine Phase 2 second as the area is currently being permitted as <br /> an RV storage site so this area will not be mined until after Phase 1. During the mining Phase 2 <br /> a slurry wall will be installed around the perimeter of Phase 2 prior to exposing groundwater. <br /> Phase 2 is 20.95 acres. The estimated time for mining Phase 2 is approximately 2 years and 6 <br /> months. <br /> The mining will progress in each phase beginning at the outer edge of the phase where material <br /> will be moved toward the interior of the phase such that the mining slope can be established. <br /> The mining slope will be established for the entire perimeter of the phase in 3 to 6 feet intervals. <br /> Dewatering <br /> Dewatering trenches will be placed along the perimeter of each mining area in Phases 1 and 2. <br /> The dewatering trench around the perimeter of the phase being mined will be placed at the toe <br /> of the mining slope. As the phase is mined deeper the dewatering trench will be lowered and <br /> moved laterally along the mining slope toward the center of that phase. Slurry walls are <br /> anticipated to be installed around the perimeter of Phases 1 and 2 prior to exposing <br /> groundwater and mining will continue to commence in those phases and it is expected minimal <br /> dewatering will be required after the slurry walls are installed due to the slurry walls cutting off <br /> groundwater infiltration into the pit. J-2 Contracting Company will have an approved substitute <br /> water supply plan and well permit prior to exposing groundwater. The substitute supply plan will <br /> be updated annually to account for water that is consumed due to exposing groundwater by the <br /> mining operation. <br /> Explosives <br /> Explosives will not be used during mining. <br /> � J&T Consulting,Inc.
