Mining will begin in the Phase One area as shown on the accompanying Mining Plan Map. <br /> First,topsoil will be removed to its'full depth (12" or less) and stockpiled on the south and east <br /> perimeter of the area to be mined.This stockpile will be in the shape of a berm approximately 4 feet in <br /> height and 15 feet wide at the base.The berm will be seeded with a grass mixture approved by the Soil <br /> Conservation Service and mulched with straw. Seeding and mulching will be done mechanically with a <br /> broadcaster attached to a 4 wheel UTV. <br /> After the soil stockpile is finished, mining will begin in the southeast corner of the Phase I area and <br /> proceed westerly and northerly.The pit will be excavated with bulldozers and the material will be fed to <br /> a portable crusher and screen plant for processing by rubber tired bucket loaders.Side slopes will not <br /> exceed 3:1 and there will be no highwalls.The pit will be excavated to a depth of approximately 40 feet <br /> or 7880 feet above Mean Sea Level. In no case will mining occur at or below the groundwater surface. <br /> After the material is processed into various products ranging from road sand to 3/" minus gravel to 3" <br /> minus road base, it will be transported to either a concrete batch plant or asphalt hot plant located as <br /> shown on the accompanying Mining Plan map. <br /> Some of the material will be hauled directly off the pit to the County Road for transportation to the <br /> intended customer. <br /> Each phase of this pit is expected to last about 2 years,with Mining commencing in January 2014 and <br /> ending in December 2027.After mining is completed in each phase,the accompanying reclamation plan <br /> will be implemented, phase by phase. <br /> Mining Plan Time Table <br /> Phase# Time Span <br /> Phase I 2014-2015 <br /> Phase II 2016-2017 <br /> Phase III 2018-2019 <br /> Phase IV 2020-2021 <br /> Phase V 2022-2023 <br /> Phase VI 2024-2025 <br /> Phase VII 2026-2027 <br /> ,./ Summit Engineering Job Number: 240328CE 17 <br /> 719-589-6147 <br /> Alamosa, CO <br />
