<br /> <br />(i) We estimate that if fully mined, the subject property could produce approximately <br />600,000 tons of pit run gravel. Our time frame for development is 10 years. <br />(ii) Assuming a level demand of 60,000 tons per year for 10 years, we would need [o be <br />actively mining the pit in 4 - 5 acre increments. The location of the development will generally involve <br />dividing each phase in two parts. We plan to start in Phase 1 and mine in the north one-half Additional <br />ground will be distorted to provide space for the processing plant. The asphalt plant will generally be placed <br />on the same site as the processing (crushing) plant which will usually finish before paving begins. However, <br />depending on work schedules, we reserve the right to have both the crushing plant and the asphalt plant on the <br />site simultaneously. <br />(iii) The typical sequence of the work will involve annually stripping a new 4 - 5 acre <br />site, and that would be coupled with the reclamation of the previous 4 - 5 acre site. In all phases of mining and <br />reclamation during the production of materials, sufficient area will be reserved for processing equipment, <br />including the location of an asphalt plant from time to time. <br />(f) Please refer to the typical drawing contained in Exhibit C -Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map <br />for a description of the cross section of the land. <br />(i) Our investigation of the resources shows the overburden to be approximately seven <br />feet deep and the gravel deposit to also be approximately seven feet thick. The top 4fi inches of the land <br />contains organic matter and the native vegetation. The overburden is dirt. The gravel deposit contains pi[ run <br />gravel predominately 8" minus in size and is typical terrace sand and gravel deposit. <br />(ii) The stratum immediately beneath the gravel deposit is sand stone. The sand stone <br />ledge appears to lay in fiat to gradually angled position. <br />
