• <br />EXHIBIT D -MINING PLAN <br />The total acreage within the permit boundary is 105.287 acres, of which <br />approximately 86 acres will be mined. Approximately 19 acres is consumed in <br />setbacks and non-mined easements Existing site features are shown on Exhibit C- <br />2. <br />eneral Description <br />Mining will begin in the western part of the property and move east and south in <br />four (4) general phases. The mine phases and general direction of mining are <br />shown on Exhibit C-2. Areas to be mined will be dewatered so that the full depth <br />of gravel can be recovered. Vegetation and surface debris will be removed and <br />then available topsoil lat least the top to 12 inches) will be stripped and stockpiled <br />for later use in reclamation. Unuseable overburden material (i.e. silt and clay) will <br />then be excavated and stockpiled. Overburden will subsequently be used for <br />reclamation backfill and subsoil material. Sand and gravel will then be mined and <br />processed on site. It is estimated that five (5) to ten (10) acres will be mined <br />annually. <br />Average annual production is estimated at approximately 150,000 tons per year. <br />The applicant may produce up to 300,000 ton per year in order to accommodate an <br />unusually large contract or an excellent business year. <br />Operation and Processing Equipment <br />Sand and gravel will be screened, crushed and stockpiled into the various aggregate <br />products. Stockpiles and equipment will move around the property as the mining <br />advances. Equipment may include: <br />Dozer <br />Loader <br />Radial Stacker <br />Crusher <br />Stacking Conveyor <br />Portable Conveyor <br />Screening Plant <br />Dump Trucks (25 ton capacity) <br />Scraper <br />
