Because of the scarce cover material available on the gravel outcrop, reclamation of the Phase II <br />Pit can occur concurrently with mining after approximately 235,000 tons of gravel are produced. <br />This initial production period from the Phase II Pit would last approximately 4 years. As the <br />mining advances in an easterly direction, cover material will be trucked directly from the area <br />stripped to the reclaimed azea, graded to final contours and then re-seeded. Refer to Exhibit F, <br />Reclamation plan for reclamation sequence. <br />The material removed from the pit will be hauled to a portable crushing and screening unit by the <br />front-end loader as it is removed from the pit. This crushing and screening plant will size the <br />gravel material and direct it to stockpiles for reloading and hauling off-site. The screening and <br />crushing plant will be powered by a portable diesel/electric generating set with a 350 gallon fuel <br />tank, positioned neazby. The operator has no plans for an office, but will have a truck trailer <br />converted to a material shed located nearby the crusher and material removal operation. A <br />portable sanitation facility ("porta-potti") will be located near the supply trailer. A 1500 gallon <br />fuel storage tank for fueling equipment and the generator fuel storage tank will be located in <br />appropriate bermed and plastic lined containments. All of the above equipment is portable and <br />will be relocated (always kept on disturbed azeas) as the mining face advances to reduce loader <br />cycle times and facilitate reclamation. <br />The gravel wash plant will consist of a 4' X 12' triple deck screen with spray bazs on all decks. <br />The sand screw is 36-inches in diameter and 36-feet long. Water will be obtained from a non <br />jurisdictional dam. The right to utilize water from the non jurisdictional dam are discussed in <br />Exhibit G. The water will be pumped to a small pond in the Phase I pit area. A 30 horse power <br />3" X 4" centrifugal pump will provide water to [he screen deck and sand screw. Water will be re- <br />circulated through the small pond, so sediment will accumulate in the pond. The pond will be <br />cleaned as necessary. The sediment will be spread in isolated portions of the pit area, allowed to <br />dry, and then the dried sediment will be incorporated into the pit backfill. The right to utilize <br />water from the non jurisdictional dam aze discussed in Exhibit G. <br />Any hazazdous materials/petroleum products stored in the storage trailer will be stored in a <br />containment cabinet designed for [he purposed of providing primary containment of spills. <br />A semi portable truck scale will be installed near the property entrance along the haulage road <br />neaz its intersection with the Redvale Road. This scale will be mounted on three concrete piers <br />measuring 18"wide x 12"high x 8'long. <br />Louisiana Land and Gravel Company, LLC entered into an agreement with Farmer's Water <br />Development Company (Farmer's) to instal] a clay liner in the section of the Gurley Ditch that <br />runs along the northeast side of Phase I prior to excavating within 200 feet of the ditch. The <br />agreement between the Operator and Farmers is to line the ditch with 12-inches of compacted <br />clay, then place riprap over the clay. <br />The clay is to be obtained from the Angie Pit. It was tested by Lambert and Associates. The <br />remolded permeability test results showed a permeability of 1.3 x 10-7 cm/sec, see pages D-5, D-6 <br />& D-7. The ditch is to be a trapezoidal section, 5-feet wide on the bottom, with 2H:1 V side <br />slopes. The 12-inch thick compacted clay liner is to extend up the side slopes at ]east four vertical <br />feet, nine feet measured on the slope. The rip-rap is to be well graded, 6-inch minus, 6-inches <br />thick. This clay liner protected by rip-rap will provide a stable and neazly impermeable ditch <br />section. <br />D-2 <br />
