<br />has been sold, as well as sand and gravel materials. Various mixes have <br />been prepared by the import of other materials to mix with the materials <br />excavated from the site - the topsoil and the sand and gravel - as contracts <br />required. <br />It is fully realized that the extent of this permit, if granted, <br />will permit the operator to excavate up to 9 acres, removing less than <br />70,000 tons per year and within the green perimeter on Map "B", to the <br />depth of 6 additional feet. The material to be excavated Is "bank run" <br />which is a sand and gravelly material, which without processing meets <br />the specifications for bedlding and fill around the pipeline for the <br />governmental contract desclribed and attached in Exhibit "I". Until <br />other permits are procured, the mining operation will involve the extraction <br />only of this "bank run" for performance under the contract. <br />The long run objective of this operation is to return it to its <br />ability to sell materials to all types of customers, be they governmental <br />or nongovernmental. Contemporaneous with the submission of this special <br />permit application, will be a limited impact permit application so that <br />the 9 acre site described herein and the materials removed therefrom can <br />be used for all types of customers. Once the full operation is restored <br />by the limited impact permit, mixing as set forth above will recommence <br />on a very small scale as it has in the past. Within 30 to 45 days of <br />the submission of this special permit application and the limited Impact <br />permit application, will be a regular permit application to expand the <br />size of the site, the depth of the pit and perhaps involve some on site <br />processing machinery. <br />It should be noted and it will be reiterated in Exhibit "E", the <br />Reclamation Plan, that any references to topsoil or overburden are to <br />the same materials as they exist on the entire site between depths of 3 <br />and 7 feet with topsoil overburden material being a sandy type of rich <br />topsoil which without any soil additives or supplements will support any <br />native vegetation in the area. <br />Finally, stockpiles that exist as of this point in time are denoted <br />on Map "C-1" as to their approximate location and type of material. It <br />should be emphasized that with regard to some stockpiles, the dozers <br />must push out of the stockpiles to areas where the floor of the gravel <br />pit will permit traction by the loader and loading of the trucks for <br />transport of the materials off site. In other words, some stockpiles <br />which exist will permit the direct operation of the loader from the <br />stockpile to the trucks; other stockpiles will require pushing of the <br />materials to a solid floor surface for loading from that point with the <br />loader. <br />For this permit, then, the operation of this gravel pit would consist <br />of the extraction of the "bank run" and stockpiling the same with loading <br />as described above onto the trucks and removal from the site by way of <br />the roads shown on Map "C-1" and "C-2". <br />EXHIBIT "B" - Mining Plan <br />Page 2 <br />
