With the pr^o posed 500 <br />foot setback along East Quincy Rvenue, the actual permitted <br />acreage is 1740. The area of affected land, which includes all <br />roads, is T32 acres. The general location oP the mine is four <br />miles east of Gun Club Road on East Quincy Rvenue. The mining <br />area encompasses the Coal Creek Drainaoe Basin and extends 4-1/c. <br />miles upstream from East Quincy Rvenue. <br />Within the lease area there are two general areas and site <br />conditions in which mining will take place. The first is the <br />Upland Dry area !n Section li. Here the nrater•ial will be used <br />for- structural fill, bedding, roadbase, and soil cement. The <br />second is the Lowland Wet area within the Coal Creek drainage. <br />Here the mat er•ial will 6e used for concrete, asphalt, nrort ar•, and <br />drains. <br />1,lp ~ ~nd___Dry_Hrew <br />In Section Y1 the setback far nri Wing will be 300 feet south of <br />East Quincy Rvenue. Within this 300 foot setback, we have 100 <br />feet of road eight-of-way, 'c^00 feet of powerline easement, and <br />200 feet of undisturbed ground. Rs shown on the mining plan, a <br />perimeter road will be placed in the section providing access to <br />all the reining areas. No mining will occur on the steeper slopes <br />which run in a northlsouth direction on each side of the higher <br />ground. In this way, severe eroding and gullying can be avoidetl. <br />The resource in Section 11 is very similar to the resource in <br />6ection 12 to the east, which is presently being worked <br />successfully by another operator. <br />In this section the sand r•esour•ce has an average depth of seven <br />feet and a depth range of zero to fifteen feet. Our inspection <br />reveals that the topsoil layer is six inches deep and mainly <br />Contains the upper root zone of grasses. Generally speaking, the <br />soil is poor and draughty. Rppr•oximately two feet of r•e,7ect sand <br />end clays will 6e returned into the mining er•ea. Therefore, the <br />net effect of the mining will be to lower the ground <br />approximately five feet. <br />D - 1 <br />
