MINING PLAN(CONT) EXHIBIT C <br /> Portions of the material will be used on the owners ranch roads <br /> in the area. Of the 9. 91± acres in the permit area, approximately <br /> 9. 48 acres ± will be mined and 0 . 43 acres ± will be setbacks around <br /> the mined area. These setbacks are shown onMAP EXHIBIT E-2 and are 10 <br /> feet wide except along the south side where the setback will be vary <br /> depending on the final floor elevation. The smaller setbacks are <br /> used to maximize the reserves that can be removed from this small <br /> area. <br /> On-site equipment may include, but is not limited to, a motor <br /> grader, front-end loaders, motor scrapers, a dozer, conveyors, a <br /> portable crushing and/or screening plant, dump trucks and a water <br /> truck. <br /> A large stockpile of specification aggregates will be created <br /> on the site as mining progresses . Once there is an adequate supply, <br /> the processing plant will be moved to another site and the processed <br /> material will be removed as needed. The mine will operate year- <br /> around with periods of inactivity, (intermittent operations) when <br /> adverse weather conditions exist . There may be periods when no <br /> activity takes place on the mine because there is no demand for <br /> material. An estimate of how long these periods of inactivity will <br /> be is unknown, but may last up to 6 months or more. If the inactive <br /> period extends past 18 months, the operator will file for a Tempo- <br /> rary Succession. <br /> Less than 9. 5 acres ± will be disturbed at any-one-time. The <br /> bond estimate presented on page 26 shows the amount of land that <br /> would be disturbed at a worse case scenario. This is when there is <br /> 5. 0 acres left to be mined and 4 .5 acres have been resoiled and <br /> seeded. As mining progresses we expect to have no more that 700 <br /> feet of slope face that would need resoiling and seeding at any-one- <br /> time. No interim sloping work will be needed since the deposit will <br /> be mined so the working face will be graded 2h to lv at all times, <br /> so no slope grading will be necessary if mining ends prematurely. A <br /> temporary safety berm will be built along the south side that will <br /> serve two purposes, one is for drive off safety and the other is to <br /> prevent uncontrolled stormwater runoff from leaving the disturbed <br /> area. The final floor of the mine will be graded to preserve the <br /> drainage pattern across the site when reclamation is complete as <br /> shown on the RECLAMATION PLAN MAP-EXHIBIT E-3. <br /> W.F.
