through any stream or spring flows. �� Ivert(s) installation may be necessary to insure <br /> that mining equipment does not operate in wet ground conditions. <br /> Schedule for Gravel Extraction---Howard Creek Pit #1 and#2 <br /> At app. 30000/year usage, it is estimated that the first parcel will be mined out over six <br /> years. During the first and possibly second year of operations, materials sourced and <br /> processed from #1 pit may be stockpiled at 42 pit site. After the second year of <br /> extraction operations, there will be ample room for stockpiling of processed materials <br /> within the mined out area of the same pit. Conversely, the#2 pit mining will begin <br /> several years after#1 and may entail stockpiling of processed #2 pit material in the #1 pit <br /> area, especially in the first year of gravel extraction from #2 pit. #2 pit area may contain <br /> as much as 100,000 tons of gravel. Depending on county usage, the second pit may <br /> produce gravel materials for 3-4 years. The total life term of the Howard Creek pit, given <br /> a 30000 tons/year usage is approximately 10 years. <br /> During the life of mine, very little new road building is anticipated other than access from <br /> the face to process equipment and stockpile area. Only roads currently present on the site <br /> will be left at the end of mining. The product load out area will be located at close as <br /> reasonably possible to the entrance to pit #1 at the intersection of Canterbury Ranch Road <br /> and Howard Creek. Existing roads may be widened a few feet from their current 12' <br /> width to facilitate safe transport of gravel from pit#1 to pit Q. However, the roads will <br /> remain open and accessible to the landowner at all times. <br /> There are no plans for buildings or permanent structures within the affected land <br /> boundaries. As mentioned earlier, temporary sediment ponds may constructed within the <br /> affected land boundaries in the event that springs or wet areas are encountered during <br /> mining of the old waste dumps. The current mine plan does not anticipate the need for <br /> drilling or blasting operations. <br /> h <br />
