of the working face and progress to the north as mining moves northward. <br /> 2. Mining Timetable <br /> The construction project is anticipated to May 2023, depending on weather. Mining is planned <br /> to begin April 2023 and conclude by or before October 2023. <br /> 3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br /> It is extremely unlikely that any toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered during the <br /> mining operation. The site has historically been rangeland. If such materials are encountered, <br /> they will be covered with topsoil from onsite stockpiles and no more mining will occur in the <br /> area. No blasting or explosives will occur/be used during mining nor on site. <br /> Fuel will be brought to the site by a mobile fueling vendor. No fuel tanks will be stored onsite. <br /> No permanent structures will be built within the permit area as part of this operation. <br /> Water will be used to control dust on the excavation and disturbed areas of the site. Water for <br /> this operation will be trucked to the site and purchased from an offsite source in Eads. It is <br /> estimated that the operation will consume 8,000 gallons of water per day for dust suppression. <br /> Aggregate processing equipment is portable, and the processing area may move and follow <br /> active mining throughout the site. Upon reclamation, all portable equipment will be removed <br /> from the site. <br /> The current access road will be maintained following reclamation,per the landowner's request. <br /> The interior haul roads will move as mining progresses to the north. Support equipment will <br /> come to the site on an as-needed basis.Night mining activity may occur in the operation and <br /> portable lighting may be used within the pit from time to time. Portable toilets will be used for <br /> employees. All mining structures on site are shown on the Mining Map. <br /> Stormwater drainage on the onsite disturbed areas will be managed to direct all stormwater to the <br /> active working area by berms that border all disturbed areas of the site. The mining activities <br /> onsite will lead to a depressed mined basin surrounded by perimeter topsoil berms. Therefore,no <br /> stormwater or process water will leave the site and all runoff from a rain event will be trapped on <br /> site and waters will infiltrate the pit floor within 72 hours. As no stormwater will leave or is <br />
