Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />reclamation of the pit floor and edges will begin. Approximately 2.5 million tons of sand <br />and gravel will be extracted from Phase 3. Phase 3 is expected to last an additional 5 <br />years. <br />Phase 4 <br />When mining is nearing completion in Phase 3 and while reclamation of Phase 1 and 2 <br />mine areas is occurring, stripping of Phase 4 will begin. Again, the plant will be <br />relocated to this area once enough material is stripped to create an area for the plant. <br />Approximately 23,000 CY of topsoil and 185,000 CY of overburden will be stripped for <br />use in reclamation. To the greatest degree possible, stripped topsoil will be placed <br />directly in reclaimed areas of previous phase areas. Any excess topsoil will be placed in <br />screening berms along the east and west property boundaries. Overburden will be <br />placed directly in Phase 1 and 2 reclamation areas. <br />As in previous phase areas, mining in Phase 4 will proceed from north to south and will <br />occur at 3:1 slopes. Excavated materials will then be transported to the processing area <br />via off-road haul trucks and conveyors. As soon as the mining limits have been reached, <br />reclamation of the pit floor and edges will begin. Approximately 2.5 million tons of sand <br />and gravel will be extracted from Phase 4. Phase 4 is expected to last an additional 5 <br />years. <br />Phase 5 <br />As with previous phases, stripping of the Phase 5 mine area will occur concurrently with <br />ongoing reclamation of previous phases and while mining is nearing completion in <br />Phase 4 areas. The plant will also be relocated to Phase 5. Approximately 26,500 CY <br />of topsoil and 211,000 CY of overburden will be stripped from Phase 5 areas. Topsoil <br />stripped from this phase will be placed directly in areas undergoing concurrent <br />reclamation in previous phase areas. Overburden will be placed directly in Phase 1 and <br />2 reclamation areas. <br />Mining in Phase 5 will proceed from north to south and will occur at 3:1 slopes. <br />Excavated materials will then be transported to the processing area via off-road haul <br />trucks and conveyors.
