<br />• Bluetop Paving has a batch plant and field office <br />trailer located on a part of the original 6.31 acre <br />permit area. Bluetop is a completely separate entity <br />from Bettger Sand and Gravel and merely purchases <br />material from the applicant for making their asphalt <br />products. It is anticipated that the Bluetop plant will <br />remain on location throughout the life of the sand and <br />gravel operation. This type of operation has been on <br />location since the time of original permitting through <br />the State. <br />All other equipment on the site such as bulldozers, <br />loaders, crushers, and screening plants are operated by <br />• Bettger Sand and Gravel. <br />It is anticipated that approximately one acre per <br />year will be mined through the life of the pit covered <br />in this application. Based on this assumption, Phase I <br />will occur in one year while Phase V will take about <br />three years to mine. Considering the entire permit <br />area, major and moderate disturbance will remain at 4.0 <br />acres ± for major and 6.31 acres ± for moderate disturb- <br />ance. The area of minor disturbance will increase from <br />the present permit of 2-3 acres to 5.5 acres for a <br />short period of time as reclamation is completed on the <br />"regraded area" and Area B. <br />• <br />
