<br />Mining Plan: <br />The gravel deposit will be removed starting with the Southern <br />end of the point, (marked "X" on map), and proceed generally <br />Northward and Eastward (N E) (marked " --~" on map). Depending <br />upon the depth of the deposit, several layers of 12ft. to 15 ft. <br />will be removed until the bottom of the deposit is found. <br />These layers will be removed 150 ft. to 200 ft. from starting <br />point. As the last layer is being removed and as room allows, <br />the reclamation will start. This same process (of a small pre- <br />pared area and total deposit removal) will be repeated through- <br />out the life of the mine. The overburden of the initial pre- <br />pared area will be stockpiled (in areas shown on map as "o oo") <br />and redeposited as soon as possible. Subsequent stock piles of <br />overburden will be placed just ahead of the areas being prepared <br />for processing. The haul road through the middle of the affected <br />area will be used for redepositing the overburden and will remain <br />to provide acess through the tree farm. The movement of the over- <br />burden stock piles will be by dumptruck. The overburden will then <br />be leveled and spread by crawler-tractor. The final grading will <br />be done by a road grader before the tree planting starts. After <br />the initial area is prepared it is the goal of the operator to be <br />able to plant some trees every year. The equipment used in the <br />operation of this pit include those customarily used for crushing <br />and processing gravel. The gravel deposit is of a loose nature <br />and no blasting of any sort is required. The crusher will be <br />brought in only for short periods of time and only as necessary <br />to maintain stock piles of crushed material. <br /> <br />I\,:~ ~ IJ'iV <br />~0~0.
