Paul Banks and Associates, LLC <br /> west portion of the property and proceed east again, repeating this process until mining <br /> area 1 is exhausted (see Exhibit C-3 for mining sequence). <br /> Mining area 2 (east of the Public Service Company power line) will be mined in the same <br /> way, except it will proceed from east to west. The plant area will be mined last and the <br /> processing equipment will be relocated to previously backfilled areas. The process <br /> water ponds will be relocated and that area will be mined also. <br /> Topsoil <br /> Topsoil quantities sufficient to implement the reclamation plan (approximately 257,000 <br /> cubic yards) will be salvaged and stockpiled. Approxi mately one foot of topsoil will be <br /> recovered until there is enough available for reclamation and then after that topsoil <br /> material will be handled and used as overburden (or perhaps sold off-site in relatively <br /> small quantities). <br /> Topsoil will be stockpiled along Nyberg Road for mining area 1 and along the eastern <br /> portion of mining area 2. The approximate location of two additional topsoil stockpiles <br /> has been added (see Exhibit C-3). Topsoil stockpiles will be seeded with the seed mix <br /> contained in the reclamation plan (Exhibit E) to stabilize them and protect them from <br /> erosion until the topsoil is used for reclamation. <br /> Overburden <br /> Overburden (clay and silt) averages approximately 6 feet thick across the property. <br /> Overburden material for the entire mine area will amount to approximately 3.4 million <br /> cubic yards. This material will be used as reclamation backfill. <br /> Overburden removed at the start of mining will be stockpiled at the eastern end of the <br /> plant area and in the southern portion of mining area 1. These stockpiles will remain in <br /> place and will be used for reservoir construction. An adequate volume of overburden will <br /> be stockpiled to backfill the areas shown on Exhibit F:Reclamation Plan Map at the end <br /> of mining operations. See Exhibit C-3 for approximate overburden stockpile locations. <br /> Sand and Gravel <br /> Nominal thickness of sand and gravel on the site is 25 feet. This will amount to a total <br /> reserve of approximately 12 million cubic yards (18,000,000 tons). About 10% of the <br /> St. Barbara Sand and Gravel Mine 10031 <br /> Pete Lien&Sons. Inc.
