EXHIBIT D (Cont'd) <br />in areas previously mined as requirements dictate. Stripping <br />ahead of the mining operation will be reduced as much as pos- <br />sible so as to minimize visual impact. <br />As the report on soils indicates (Exhibit I), much of <br />the current soil, especially in the northeast section of the <br />affected land, is not suitable for resoiling. Poor soils will <br />be used for backfill and will not be segregated from other <br />overburden. An excess of good soils will be available; there- <br />fore, no problem will be encountered by burying the poor soils. <br />After the soils and overburden are stripped, excavation <br />will be carried out by using front end loaders to remove the <br />sand and gravel. The material will then be transported to the <br />processing crusher. Equipment to be used may include, but is <br />not limited to, front end loaders, scrapers, a dragline, bull- <br />dozers, conveyors, dump trucks and a water truck. <br />As mining proceeds in Stages I through VI, the perimeter <br />bank slopes will be mined at 1 to 1 in roost cases. As a result, <br />it will be necessary to backfill the perimeter areas to <br />establish 3 to 1 Lakeshore slopes. Backfilling will follow as <br />closely as possible the mining of the perimeter areas. <br />The stockpiled overburden will be used as needed for fill <br />problem areas and to smooth the final grading. The stockpiled <br />overburden may also be used to create irregularities along the <br />shoreline to give the lake a more pleasing appearance. Map <br />Exhibit F, the Reclamation Map, does not indicate these irregu- <br />larities in shoreline because it is not now known the exact <br />-10- <br />
