<br />PIINING PLAN -, <br />CRAIG PIT - NIELSONS, INC. ~ :.! <br />.. - -s <br />3-8-77 _..... . <br />The material at this site is in a deep strata of sand and gravel <br />over laid by a clay loam. The sand and gravel is exposed at the west <br />side of the pit where the landscape drops from the upper timbered area' <br />to the lower hay meadow (see typical section on the general map). <br />The topsoil varies from zero at the edge of the hillside to approx- <br />imately 1 foot toward the mesa top. In places subsoil exists between the <br />topsoil and gravel. The topsoil will be removed and stockpiled for future <br />reclamation. The clayey subsoil will be stripped and stockpiled or taken <br />from the pit for private area users. Stockpiles of topsoil and subsoil <br />will„be kept separated. <br />ravel and sand will then be excavated and fed to a crusher with a <br />"set of screens for processing to the desired gradation. This processed <br />material will be either hauled to a construction site as base course or <br />combined with asphaltic cement for use as road surfacing. Fines rejected <br />in those operations will be stockpiled in the affected area. Crushed <br />sand and gravel will be stockpiled adjacent to the crusher on the floor <br />of the existing pit. Hot Bituminous Pavement, when produced, will be <br />hauled directly from the plant to the jobsite. <br />_ / It is planned to start excavation at the north side of the existing <br />~~ pit and work toward the north boundary of the affected area while stock- <br />~~ piling topsoil and subsoil along the east boundary. No more than three <br />acres will be mined in one year but the entire area may be affected by a <br />major disturbance such as mining, stripping, or stockpiling. <br />
