Since the land of the gravel pit is <br /> close and is in the same geological zone it is assumed that there will be similar conditions at the <br /> proposed gravel pit. The geotechnical engineering report is attached in Appendix A. <br /> The upper granular stratum containing various amounts of silt and gravel will be encountered at <br /> the surface and extend 2 '/2 to 6 1/2 feet below the surface. <br /> The clay stratum was encountered below the granular stratum containing varying amounts of sand <br /> and clay extends 7 -10 feet below the surface. <br /> The lower granular stratum was encountered below the clay layer and extends to depths of 18 1/2 <br /> feet to 21 '/2 feet below the surface. It contains varying amounts of clay and gravel. <br /> 4.7 Nature of Stratum Immediately Beneath Extracted Material <br /> The material beneath the mined deposit is sandstone bedrock of the Ogallala formation. In the <br /> geotechnical report this material had an observed permeability to water of 0.11 x 10-7 which is <br /> relatively impermeable. <br /> 4.8 Commodities to be Mined <br /> Gravel for county roads will be extracted. There are no expected incidental products that will be <br /> extracted. <br /> Z:IPro/ectsSedgwick County 12023 Gravel Pit PermatinglPermit AEC <br />
