-11- b~BIT C Mining operations shall be a simple moderato to gently slopping surface removed is found at the surface and mining operations. From 12" to 36" for reclamation purposes on the sou the northerly boundary. MINING PLAN removal process in a dry alluvial setting of topography wherein the gravel and sand to be continues downward for the full depth of the of top soil shall be removed and stockpiled thern boundary of the pit, with overburden on As conditions require, the mined substances will be pushed into the pit by bulldozers working outward from the center of an existing pit, or front-end loaders will remove materials directly from the pit walls at the bottom of the pit. Where removal can be effected by the first method, sufficient slope will be ma int:ained at all times to permit the movement of equipment from ground level to the floor of the pit in the area of operations. Where removal from the bottom i.s required, sufficient slope will be maintained to provide latteral and subjacent support. These procedures will result in a gradual expanding of the boundaries of the pit until the boundaries of the affected area have been reached. Once gravel has been moved to or removed from the bottom of the pit, bulldozers will be used to consolidate the mined materials into stockpiles. From this point, front-end loaders will be used to load the mined materials into dump trucks for removal from the mining area. The mine will first be opened on the west end of the permitted area. As operations continue eastward the western area shall be reclaimed. Commencement date will be from the approval date to a time when the gravel is exhausted, at which time we will immediately start on reclamation. Water will not be used in conjunction with this operation. No ground water will be disturbed. No crushing, screening, washing, or mixing will be taking place at the location. Stockpiles will be on East and West boundaries as shown on maps, Exhibit C S E.
