<br /> <br />SECTION 1: DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES <br />The activities checked below are activities that are presently performed on-site or are expected <br />to be present in the future. <br />C~ STRIPPING <br />The overburden is removed and the material is sold, hauled away or stockpiled. <br />Stockpiles may be in the form of berms. <br />^ EXCAVATION -WET MINING ENVIRONMENT <br />(Check one) <br />^ Dragline: <br />Sand and gravel is excavated below water level and winrowed adjacent to the open <br />water for the purpose of dewatering, <br />After sufficient dewatering has occurred, the pit run material can be conveyed or hauled <br />by means of loader or trucks for final washing and screening. <br />^ Dredging -bucket type: <br />Material is excavated from below water level and directly conveyed to the plant for final <br />washing and screening. <br />^ Dredging -pump type: <br />Material is sucked into an underwater pipeline and pumped to the surface. A booster <br />pump is sometimes needed to pump the material through the pipeline to the first <br />processing screen that is sometimes as high as 60' from the ground. <br />Q EXCAVATION -DRY MINING ENVIRONMENT <br />(Check one) <br />Q An alluvial deposit, which intercepts ground water which is pumped down <br />^ A dry terrace deposit wherein ground water is not encountered. <br />When necessary, the water table in the mining area is lowered by means of dewatering <br />
