1 <br />' an area of approximately 15+/- acres. The plants may be located <br />' on two different sites during the life of the mine, one north <br />and one south of the creek. Each site will be mined out as operations <br />' reach the area. Some small areas may not be mined but will be <br />included in the Reclamation Plan in either case. The plant site <br />t will accommodate the processing equipment for the gravel operation <br />' and may also serve as a site for ancillary uses, such as a concrete <br />batch plant, an asphalt plant and/or a concrete casting plant. <br />' It is intended that this application and the subsequent permit <br />will cover such possible uses. <br />' Thus, mining equipment may include but is not limited to <br />front-end loaders, scrapers, a dragline, bulldozers, conveyors, <br />1 dump trucks and a water truck. <br />' As mining progresses from Stages 1 through 3, the perimeter <br />bank slopes may be constructed in two different ways. If large <br />' amounts of waste fines are encountered, some of the slopes may <br />be mined on a 1:1 slope and backfilled to 3:1 or less, the final <br />reclamation slope. The alternative is to mine the perimeter <br />' slopes to the final grade desired, thereby eliminating the necessity <br />for backfilling. If the first method is used, backfilling will <br />' follow as closely as possible the mining of the perimeter areas. <br />The area of the farmhouse and outbuildings is included in <br />' the lands to be affected, although the land is not scheduled <br />' to be excavated at this time. The buildings are owned by J-Bar-B, <br />Inc. When excavation reaches this area, the owner/operator may <br />1 9 <br />
