Processing Imported Material <br />No processing will occur on this site. <br />(b) Earthmoving <br />Sand and gravel will be excavated by a front-end loader and transported to the conveyor <br />crossing to be conveyed to the "Cooley Reservoir and Fulton Wildlife Area -File #M-99- <br />034" for processing. It is anticipated that gravel materials removed from the three phases <br />will total approximately 8.4 million tons with a maximum of 2.3 million tons per year and an <br />average of 2 million tons per year depending on mazket conditions. <br />(c) All water diversions and impoundments <br />There will be no water diversions or impoundments associated with mining this site. <br />(d) The size of area to be worked at any one time <br />There will be three phases ranging in size from approximately 34-53 acres. Phase 1 will <br />accept overburden from Phases 2 and 3. It is anticipated that the portion of Phase 1 that is <br />east of the Fulton Ditch will remain disturbed for about five years. The remainder of the site <br />will be reclaimed concurrently. <br />(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for the purpose <br />of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation during the different phases <br />of a mining operation. <br />The site will be mined and reclaimed concurrently. Please see the Mining Plan Map (Exhibit <br />C) for the mining sequence. Please refer to Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan, section (e)(i) for <br />timing information. <br />(f) Use Mining Plan Map in conjunction with narrative to present: <br />(i) nature, depth and thickness of the deposit and thickness and type of overburden to be <br />removed <br />The depth of overburden varies from 1 foot to 10 feet. The depth of the sand and gravel <br />deposit varies from 18 feet to 60 feet with an average depth of approximately 30 feet. <br />(ii) nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined in sedimentary <br />deposits <br />The nature of the stratum immediately beneath the material to be mined is sedimentary <br />bedrock of the Denver Formation. <br />AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES - HAZELTINE MINE MLRB 112 PERMIT <br />
