The operator may import material from other sites.The applicant is <br /> aware that in accordance with Rule 3.1.5 (9) of the Construction <br /> Material Rules and Regulations, if any offsite material is used as backfill <br /> a notorized letter will be submitted to the Division indicating the <br /> materials are inert. The applicant will supply such a letter to the <br /> Division if the applicant intends to use off site material as backfill. At <br /> this time no imported materials are anticipated. <br /> This operation will not impact surface or groundwater. Stormwater will <br /> be controlled on site and released in a controlled manner so as to not <br /> damage off site areas in accordance with the operation's stormwater <br /> management plan. Water will be purchased off site and hauled to the <br /> location if needed for dust control either for roads or processing. <br /> 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 /> This will be accomplished by amendments to the current permit if needed <br /> and approved. <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 /> 2 <br />
