Soll Salvage <br />There is no salvageable soil inside the permit boundary. <br />Overburden <br />No overburden or waste rock exist at the site. <br />Disturbance Area <br />The mining plan is to re-disturb and reclaim essentially all of the 9.9-acre <br />permit area. <br />Water Use and Interception <br />The use of water is not anticipated in this operation. No dewatering is <br />anticipated to be required. As indicated earlier, mining will not get closer than <br />approximately 2 feet to the water table. This operation is not anticipated to affect <br />the quality or quantity of surface or groundwater systems in the area. <br />A Stormwater Permit (and Stormwater Management Plan) has been <br />obtained. A small berm of spoils may be maintained around the disturbed area to <br />filter runoff (in the same fashion as a silt fence) as it leaves the site. <br />No acid or toxic producing materials are expected to be exposed during <br />mining. This material is simply overturned alluvial gravel and is not a source of <br />contamination to the environment. <br />The dredged alluvial grovels will provide primary and secondary <br />commodities for use as aggregate products. Removing the dredge tailing piles will <br />provide an area with a much more stable configuration. At present, the only <br />beneficial use of the land is mining - i.e., a source of aggregate materials. Removal <br />of the spoils and reclamation to a grass cover will reclaim the area to a beneficial use <br />other than mining. <br />7 <br />
