Regulations, if any offsite material is used as backfill, a notarized letter will be <br />submitted to the Division indicating the materials are inert. The applicant will supply <br />such a letter to the Division if, at the time of Reclamation, the applicant intends to use <br />off-site material as backfill. <br />(b) Earthmoving; <br />Topsoil and overburden will be stripped with scrapers or bulldozers and stockpiled in <br />segregated piles at the edge of the active mine phase. Excavators, front-end loaders, <br />and bulldozers will be used to excavate the material. Conveyor belts or haul trucks will <br />be utilized to transport the raw material from the active mine phase the processing <br />area. The phases will be mined at a 3H:1 V slope. <br />(cJ All water diversions and impoundments; and <br />The perimeter of the mined area will be dewatered by digging a trench to bedrock. <br />The water will be pumped into a settling pond and discharged in accordance with a <br />CDPS permit. Wash water for the processing area will be recycled through a series of <br />small ponds within the processing area. The water required to operate the facility will <br />likely be provided by the existing water rights associated with the property. No ditches <br />will be disturbed without prior authorization of the appropriate ditch company. <br />(d) The size of area(s) to be worked at any one time. <br />Excluding the processing area, the maximum area to be worked on at any one time is <br />approximately 30 acres. <br />(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation. The timetable is for <br />the purpose of establishing the relationship between mining and reclamation <br />during the differentphases of a mining operation. <br />The Operator anticipates that mining will commence as soon as all permits are in <br />place. The Operator anticipates extracting approximately 750,000 tons of aggregate <br />per year, however, production rate may vary based on market demands. <br />Timetable for Mining and Reclamation <br />Phase 1: Mining will begin in Phase 1 and continue directly into Phase 2. Phase 1 <br />will be mined in approximately 5 years and reclaimed in 2 years. <br />Phase 2: Phase 2 will be mined in approximately 4 years and reclaimed in 2 years. <br />Phase 3: Phase 3 will be mined in approximately 5 years and reclaimed in 2 years. <br />Reclamation will begin immediately after mining is complete. When possible, <br />concurrent reclamation practices will be used to minimize site disturbance and to limit <br />Hall-Irwin Corporation -Long Resource - MLRB 112 Permil Application <br />Exhibit D - 2 <br />
