A portion of the pit-run sand and gravel will be screened, crushed and washed to remove silt- <br />sizedmaterial prior to off-site sales. The wash-water containing -this silt will be directed to a <br />settling pond to permit settling-out of the silt. The clarified water will be recycled to the plant for <br />continued washing, with any make-up water being provided from the pit. The proposed pond <br />system that will be utilized to facilitate these washing steps is to be located adjacent to the plant <br />processing area. All water used in the operation will be recycled, except for water lost in <br />evaporation or lost as part of the shipped final products. The only water subject to periodic <br />discharge to the Little Thompson River will be from mine de-watering and from storm water <br />runoff. The discharge point will be directly to the Little Thompson River. A CPDES /Storm <br />water permit will be obtained and maintained for this activity during the life of the project. <br />On-site mining, processing and reclamation equipment will include but not limited to: <br />• Dozer, <br />• Loaders, <br />• Hydraulic Excavator, <br />• Portable crushers, <br />• Portable conveyors, <br />• Portable screening plant, <br />• Trucks, and <br />• Scrapers. <br />• Grader. <br />Thickness of Overburden and Mineral Deposits <br />Approximately 1 ft. of topsoil will be removed and stockpiled for plant-growth medium in <br />surface reclamation, or sold offsite after reclamation needs are met. Approximately 6 fr. of <br />overburden will be removed and stockpiled or moved offsite for fill on other Western Equipment <br />properties. This will leave an average of approximately 20 ft. of sand and gravel to be excavated <br />and processed over the 25 acres to be mined. <br />2RR app <br />CDMG 112 <br />
