Topsoil will be used to erect screening berms along the east, west, and north (along LaSalle Road) phase boundaries. Overburden will be temporarily stockpiled on the northern end of the Phase 2 area for later use in reclamation effort of the Phase 1 area. Next, the processing plants will be initially erected on the site in the approximate locations depicted on Exhibit C-3. Mining will then begin on the northern edge of the phase area. Simultaneously, the clarification and settling ponds will be constructed in the southern Phase 2 area, as shown on Exhibit C3, and the pumping systems for use in aggregate washing will be set up. Excavation will then proceed north to south until the pit edge reaches a point near the plant, at which time stripping of Phase 2 areas will begin. Once an area large enough for the plant to occupy is created, the plant will then relocate to that area in Phase 2, which will allow the area underneath the initial plant location to be mined out. Sand and gravel extraction will occur at 3:1 slopes. The processing facilities will be moved on site in 2003, once all appropriate permits are obtained. Topsoil stripped from Phase 1 will be approximately 19,000 CY and overburden stripped will equal approximately 152,000 CY and will be stockpiled for later use in reclamation. Approximately 2.5 million tons of sand and gravel will be extracted during Phase 1 operations. Phases 1 is expected to last approximately 5 years.
