Mine Plan
Size: The size of the permit boundary encompassing the
mining operation is 10 acres or less. The pit and
related soils stockpiles shall be within the
boundary.
Staging: The mining/reclamation operation is composed of
four (4) stages. Stages 1, 2, and 3 are mining
advance phases and Stage 4 is the final reclamation
phase.
Staging t•iethodology: The proposed pit area is divided into 3
stages of equal size concerning surface area. By
this means, if mining operations terminate either
as scheduled or prematurely, adequate soils
(overburden and topsoil) are available to reclaim
disturbed areas during any phase of the operation
throughout the mine life.
Schedule:
Stage 1: Stripping, soils removal and mining are to
commence in Stage 1 which is located in the Nw
end of the proposed pit area. Topsoil and
overburden will be stored in separate
respective stockpiles in the SW corner of the
permit boundary area (Stage 1).
Stage 2: Stage 2 adjoins and lies on the east side of
Stage 1. After mining operations are
completed in Stage 1, topsoil is windrowed
aside on the Stage 2 area; overburden from
Stage 2 is removed and replaced on Stage 1;
the windrowed topsoil on Stage 2 is removed
and replaced on Stage 1.
Seeding (Stage 1): The topsoil replacement on Stage 1
(and all stages) shall be scheduled so that
seeding can be done immediately and during the
proper season to deter wind/water erosion. if
topsoil is windrowed for any extended time,
the windrows side slopes will be reduced to
3H:lV maximum slope and temporary appropriate
seed mix will be sewn on the windrows to
reduce wind erosion.
Stage 3: Steps in Stage 2
replacing soils
3.
will be repeated for Stage 3,
on Stage 2 removed from Stage
2
