• Page 2 March 6, 2002 Griffin # 1 Ditch: This ditch is planned to be realigned. In general, tt will be set to the south edge of the gravel pit boundary and reenter the existing ditch at the north west comer of the gravel pit area. At the point at which the realigned dttch meets the existing dttch, is the point where the ditch enters existing hay meadows. At present, this ditch runs east to west on the Seahorse Ranch property line at the north boundary of the west portion of the gravel pit area. As such the reentry of the realigned ditch to the existing ditch is inline with the ditch's function to provide inigating water to the existing hay meadows. See drawing F~khibtt "D". Realignment of the ditch does rwt at any time go "up hill". tt is to be noted that Gately Wing Trust, Seahorse Rarrch is responsible for the realignment of the Griffin # 1 Ditch. The Seahorse Ranch will complete this portion of this project, when it is deemed that tt is necessary to make the realignment. The realigned Griffin # 1 Ditch will be on Seahorse Ranch properly, will at some pants run through the undisturbed portions of the gravel pd Overall boundary. As to the timing to realign the Griffin # 1 Ditch, tt is yet to be determined. Current estimates are that the ditch will be realigned some time between the 6 and 10 year after the start of excavating ct the overall site. See drawing Exhibit "C", all operations of the Seahorse Ranch West Gravel Pit are confined to the locations as noted on this drawing. See drawing F~khibit "E", this drawing denotes directions of excavating. And, denotes that portions of excavated areas to be reaained along with the excavation process. Exhibit B -Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4) Perimeter fence: The perimeter fence is an agreed to item between the Seahorse Ranch and American Concrete and Gravel, LLC. One perimeter fence will be constructed. The Old Railroad Grade Road is to be with in the Overall gravel pit area. Agate already exists on the bridge i.e. entrance to the gravel pit, a second gate will be located at the east end of the road i.e. boundary of the gravel pit. Old Railroad Grade Road: This is the road that is to be use to enter and extt the gravel ptt. All entry and exit to the gravel pit area will be over the existing bridge, west end of the Old Railroad Grade Road. Griffin # 1 Ditch: tt is undetermined just when this d'ttch will be realigned. tt is expected to be realigned some time between 6 and 10 years after the start of excavating at the site. Discharge of water. See drawing 6khibit "C". See Exhit~it "G", this is a copy of the application "Process Water And Stonrrvrater Discharges Assoaated Wtth Sand And Gravel Production Operations (And Other Nonmetallic Minerals 6ccept Fuel)". The discharge of water from the excavated sites will be entirely on to Seahorse Ranch property. This water will flow on to hay meadows, and through various irrigating dddres, thus, returrrirg to ground water and following normal hay rrreadow run off. Wash PIanL See drawing 6khibit "C". SiR will be dredged from the silt pond and wit! be stockpiled, as shown, and sold ~ a gravel pit product. Equipment used for excavation, grading slopes, topsoil repk3cement, processing material, and hatching on stte. The equipment to be used falls undertwo headings. (1) Excavatirxyprocessing/batching. All excavating, processing and hatching shall be completed with portable equipment. See drawing Exhibit "E" for site locations. Excavating shall be completed using tracked type excavators, wheeled front loaders and tracked bulldozers. Processing of materials shall be completed using portable crushing, sorting and handling equipment. Batching, i.e. asphalt hatching. Concrete hatching is completed off site. Asphalt plants shall be portable in stnrcture. Note, asphalt hatching is a seasonal process, an asphalt plant will only be on site during the wane weather morrths. (2) Reclamation grading and topsol replacement. Wheeled motor graders, wheeled front loaders and tracked crawler dozers shall be use to complete this type of work.
