At this point mining will commence in the South Section beginning in Unit F. Topsoil from Unit <br /> F will be live-handled to Unit E and mining will progress in a clockwise direction to Unit G and <br /> then south to Unit K before turning North again to head back to Unit P. Once mining is completed <br /> in Unit P,topsoil that was stockpiled during mining of Units A and B will be used to reclaim Unit <br /> P and then ultimately Unit A. <br /> (b)Earthmoving. <br /> In addition to the earthmoving described in section (a) above, earthmoving will be limited to <br /> replacing topsoil, along with grading and leveling the same. <br /> (c)All water diversions and impoundments. <br /> No water will be diverted or impounded as a result of the operation. During mining, given the <br /> porous nature of the substratum, any storm water that falls directly on the site is expected to <br /> infiltrate back into the ground within 72 hours of a storm event. <br /> (d) The size of area(s)to be worked at any one time. <br /> Applicant intends to actively mine approximately 10 acres at a time. However,there will also <br /> be 10 acres of active topsoil stripping, 10 acres being regraded and 10 acres being re-topsoiled <br /> and re-seeded. In the active mining area as mining advances, reclamation will be occurring <br /> contemporaneously so as to minimize the amount of maximum disturbance to 50 acres plus an <br /> ever-expanding area that has been fully reclaimed.This is in addition to 20 acres in Unit A that <br /> will not be reclaimed until the entire site has been mined out.Therefore,for bonding purposes, <br /> 70 acres will be the maximum area disturbed at any given time. This breaks down to 20 acres <br /> in Unit A,40 acres in the active mining area and 10 acres that have been seeded and are in the <br /> initial state of emergence and establishment. The haul road will be constructed as mining <br /> advances and reclaimed as reclamation occurs,therefore,costs to reclaim this road are included <br /> in reclamation of each unit. <br /> (e)An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. <br /> (i)An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various stages or <br /> phases of the operation. <br /> It is expected that each Unit of mining will take 3 months to 1 year to complete,therefore, <br /> based on expected market conditions and estimated reserves, it will take 5-12 years to <br /> complete mining at this site. <br /> (ii)A description of the size and location of each area to be worked during each phase. <br /> As described above, the applicant intends to mine approximately 10 acres at a time in <br /> addition to 10 acres of topsoil stripping, 10 acres of regrading, 10 acres of replaced and <br /> reseeded topsoil and 10 acres that have received final seeding and awaiting vegetative <br /> establishment See attached Plan Sheets (Exhibits D-1-D-8). <br /> CoProp LLC—Rodeo Dunes Mine Page 3 of 5 <br /> Construction Materials Regular Operation(112(c))Reclamation Permit Application Form <br />
