scaling area until the access reaches the stockpile locations. The roads around the <br /> stockpiles will be constructed from the existing pit run similar to the haul roads. <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. Topsoil will be stripped and salvaged from areas where overburden material will be <br /> stockpiled. 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. See the attached mining plan in Exhibit C for the stockpile locations. <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 the face will have a <br /> 2H:1V slope to bedrock or the bottom of the future reclaimed reservoir. The processed <br /> 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. Topsoil will be stripped and salvaged from areas where overburden <br /> material will be stockpiled. The volume of topsoil is approximately 90,000 cubic yards. The <br /> depth of the topsoil is approximately twelve inches over the majority of the mining area. The <br /> topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled prior to mining operations. The height of the topsoil <br /> stockpile will be approximately 15 feet. <br /> Mine Phasing <br /> Ogilvy River Farm, LLC anticipates mining and reclaiming the 55.78-acre Ogilvy River Farm Pit <br /> progressing as shown on the Mining Plan Map. The overall time required to complete the mining <br /> and reclamation is estimated to be 12 years based on an average rate of 650,000 tons per year. <br /> The initial production is expected to be 300,000 tons per year with the maximum production <br /> expected to be 1,000,000 tons per year. However, it is possible that due to demand fluctuations, <br /> mining could progress slower than anticipated and additional time may be required for mining <br /> and reclamation of the site. <br /> The mining will progress beginning at the outer edge where material will be moved toward the <br /> interior such that the mining slope can be established. The mining slope will be established for <br /> the entire perimeter in 3 to 6 feet intervals. <br /> UTVII Consulting,Inc.
