The whole 38.77 acres will be mined at the same time. If possible areas <br /> that have been mined and are out of the future mining areas will be <br /> reclaimed and addressed for release.The reclaimed areas will be <br /> sloped and graded so as to return them back to the owner for it's <br /> previous use as cropland. <br /> The operation is estimated to be completed and reclaimed within five <br /> years based on todays market demands. However the site can be <br /> expanded to add up to 400 more acres for mining as per the lease. <br /> The thickness of the topsoil is 6"to 12",the overburden <br /> ranges from 1'to 3'.The sand and gravel resource is an <br /> alluvial deposit that ranges in depth from 5'to 15'depending on the <br /> claystone layer under the gravel. <br /> The stratum immediately beneath the sand and gravel deposit <br /> is claystone with lenses of siltstone and sandstone bedrock. <br /> The primary commodities are sand and gravel to be used in road bases, <br /> screened rock and fill materials intended for constuction usages such <br /> as new roadways, drilling pads, reclaimed well sites and maintenance <br /> of existing roadways. <br /> No secondary commodities are planned. <br /> There are no expected incidental products to be mined or produced. <br /> No explosives will be used for mining or reclamation. <br />
