<br />~;XHIBIT B <br />Mining Plan: <br /> <br />Tkiis is an existing pit which is mined <br />solely For material for maintenance of County <br />roads. It is used extensively and consequently <br />t:,e disturbed area is rather large. It is located <br />in the breaks between the upland plains and the <br />Big Sandy Valley, ccnsequently the hills and <br />ravines are ~~tecp and abrupt. ~ <br />The mining plan is to load dump trucks by <br />means oi' a large front end loader and haul the <br />material to the roads needing maintenance. To <br />improve tt,e effeciency in loading a track type <br />tractor with a dozer blade is sometimes used to <br />bring material to an area in the bottom of the pit <br />for easier loading. In places there is an out- <br />cropping of sedimentary rock which is piled up <br />out o£ ttie road and sometimes used for rip-rapping. <br />The top soil in this area is very thin, <br />three to six inches, and has not been stockpiled. <br />The pit is a dryy pit and no water diversion <br />or impoundment will be necessary. Also no water <br />rights will enter into the operation and reclamation <br />phase of tnis operation. <br />The topography of the area mill not be sig- <br />nificantly changed by this operation as the already <br />steep hills and valleys will blend in nicely with <br />the final configuration. <br />
