' 2. A scraper will strip topsoil/overburden and vegetation from an approximately <br /> ' two to three-acre area in the southwestern corner of the Phase 1 mining area. <br /> ' The dragline will be brought onsite and transported to this location. The <br /> disturbed area will facilitate both mining and temporary stockpiling of both <br /> ' unwashed and washed raw aggregate. The dragline will excavate an active <br /> pond area large enough to supply the vibrating screens with pumped water <br /> and to return discharged fines to the pond. The vibrating screens will be <br /> ebrought to this location, erected, and begin screening the raw aggregate to be <br /> ' transported to the plant for further processing. A sandscrew will be brought <br /> onsite and erected to wash the smaller fraction for concrete sand if desired. <br /> Any wash water used with the sandscrew to float-off fines will be re-cycled <br /> back into the pond with no discharge to the Arkansas Rive <br /> 3. Approximately three to five acres will be in a state of disturbance at any given <br /> time due to mining at this portion of the permit area (North Mining Area). <br /> ' Mining will proceed in each Phase as shown on Exhibit C. The dragline will <br /> consecutively mine an ever-expanding mining pond. The vibrating screens <br /> and sandscrew will be moved to a proper location that will facilitate an <br /> ' efficient distance between it and the windrowed, unwashed aggregate to <br /> enable loading. <br /> 4. Mining will proceed as in 3., above, throughout all the Phases. Near the close <br /> ' of Phase 4, discharge from the offsite drainage/seepage ditch coming from <br /> the north of the property under Hwy. 194 and onto the permit area, will be re- <br /> routed into the active mining pond. The culvert(s) located within this ditch, y� <br /> ' 16 <br />
