The site is currently used as rangeland and the applicant proposes to maintain this as the post mining <br />land use. Proposed mining will be conducted in five phases, the largest consisting of t4.3 acres. <br />3. Gravel deposits at the site are estimated to be 70 to 80 feet deep. The proposed mine plan indicates <br />that mining will occur to a depth of 10 feet, and that groundwater will not be exposed at the site. Mr. <br />Allen will be installing three monitoring wells fo confirm that groundwater is deep enough that mining fo <br />10 feet will not expose the groundwater. <br />4. A processing facility will be located along the western portion of the site, just off of Hwy 9, adjacent to <br />the access road, and will contain a portable crusher, portable screener, a portable batch plant, and <br />will serve as the material stockpile area. Once topsoil is removed from a phase, it will be stockpiled <br />around the pit to serve as a noise and visual barrier. The northeast corner of the site contains a <br />wetland. The Operator proposes to maintain a 100 foot setback from this wetland. <br />5.
