• <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> The applicant proposes to excavate the gravel lying in the 9.9 Acre <br /> tract previoulsy described. The majority of the gravel extracted will <br /> be used as "pit-run" material and excavated and loaded as required. <br /> A portable crusher and screening unit will be utilized intermittently <br /> during the mining to provide quantities of crushed, washed and graded <br /> gravel to be stockpiled on the site to fill the requests for selected <br /> material . While the sales of gravel will be to anyone in the construc- <br /> tion materials and construction fields , it is anticipated that the op- <br /> erator will also use the gravel for his own construction business. <br /> Presently, the site is being used as pasture land with natural grasses <br /> in good condition. The site is located in the flood plain and is very <br /> flat. The gravel pit operation will have very little effect on drain- <br /> age in the area . The major concern will �, those associated with oper- <br /> ating within a flood plain. <br /> The soils report indicates a 10 to 14 foot layer of sand and gravel <br /> lying under 1 foot of top-soil and 2 to 5 feet of silty clay. Allowing <br /> a 50-foot set-back from all boundary lines , it is estimated that the <br /> site will yield approximately 56,000 cubic yards of over-burden and <br /> 169,300 cubic yards (320,000 Tons ) of sand and gravel . <br /> The site plan will be to located the buildings and the kpiles to- <br /> ward the Westerly end of the site near the access road, vv The mining op- <br /> eration will commence at the Easterly end of the site and work progress- <br /> ively toward the West. The procedure will be to strip the top-soil in <br /> berm fashion in the 50-foot perimeter area. The mining area will then <br /> be de-watBred by a peripheral trench, collection and pumping system. <br /> i <br /> D1 <br />
