M-2001-001 Line Camp Pit Amendment#2 (Expansion) <br /> PROPOSED FUTURE MINING OPERATIONS: <br /> 1. Purpose:To guide mining of the permit area for the duration of the operation. <br /> 2. General Concept (Task Statement): Do mining in several stages/phases, and then mining working <br /> from the north edge of the expansion area south to the area used for storage of processed <br /> construction materials awaiting further hauling. <br /> Conditions: Given past and recent mining, existing access roads, and site preparation, previous <br /> requirements, and new/revised requirements imposed by federal, state, tribal and local <br /> governments <br /> Standards: Comply with all requirements while protecting the safety and health of miners,visitors, <br /> and adjacent landowners and quality of the environment (including visual,sound, and socio- <br /> economic impacts), efficiently excavating and processing materials.This plan addresses methods of <br /> mining by stages (and associated surface disturbances), earthmoving,water diversions and incised <br /> water bodies(tied to Exhibit G), sizes of areas to be worked at one time,timetable of mining <br /> (excavation) and processing, intermittent/seasonal status (as per CRS 34-32.5-103(11)(b)—including <br /> periods estimate, size and location of each phase, and sequence), map (may reference Exhibit C) of <br /> depth/thickness of overburden and material being mined and nature of bedrock(stratum <br /> immediately under deposit). <br /> 3. Tasks:The operator will: <br /> a. Mark the exterior boundaries of the expanded permit boundary and affected areas using PVC <br /> pipe with orange tips (Reclamation permit sign and other permit signs to be relocated to nearer <br /> highway ROW. <br /> b. Construct a haul road from the existing access road and processed material stockpile are to the <br /> north edge of the planned affected area (across areas to be excavated in the future). <br /> Related tasks: install additional traffic controls and place stripped soil into berms for drainage <br /> and visual impact mitigation on both east and west side. Initially,the scale and plant site and <br /> immediate product stockpile areas will remain at the current locations. <br /> c. Review plan for signage for muster area (emergency assembly area) and escape routes. <br /> d. Remove abandoned buildings, unneeded fencing(except along highway ROW), and ensure that <br /> berms do not restrict the 100-year floodplain. <br /> e. Strip and store soil in outer berms, excavate and stockpile any aggregate (as necessary to get the <br /> areas relatively level) and compact subgrade to prepare these areas. <br /> i. Stockpile processed materials and load trucks with construction materials. <br /> ii. All processing equipment (screens, crushers,wash plant,gensets, conveyors) are portable <br /> in nature but due to APCD regulations are considered "permanent." (See discussion below <br /> and in Exhibit M.) <br /> iii. Construct/install safety control measures as per MSHA requirements. <br /> f. As much as possible, excavate pitrun and feed directly to the processing plant, and then convey <br /> to stockpiles. <br /> g. Use two stockpile areas: immediately adjacent to the plant (end of conveyors), and the product <br /> stockpile area north of the access road. As required, off-site haul trucks will first be loaded <br /> directly from end of conveyor piles. for sale and shipping. If necessary, finished materials will be <br /> moved from those stockpiles to the area north of the access road and haul trucks will be loaded <br /> there for sale and shipping. <br /> 5182-22-001 WASTELINE, INC.
