areas from the drainage courses. <br />The operator does not expect to disturb the prevailing hydrological balance of the <br />affected land nor the surrounding area or the quality or quantity of water in surface and <br />groundwater systems during or after the mining operations. <br />Fugitive dust is expected from only one source -truck traffic along the haul <br />roads. Experience indicates the mining operations in the pits themselves generate little, if <br />any, dust. Water will be sprayed onto the roads to control dust, as needed, and relatively <br />slow haul truck speeds enforced. <br />Mining Timetable. The uncertainty of current economic conditions in the <br />construction industry precludes accurate forecasts of mining activity over the life of the <br />mine. Therefore, the operator has elected to estimate a mining timetable based on an <br />average year and expects a specific year to vary widely from the average. <br />MINING TIMETABLE <br />Stage Years Total Acres +/- Mined Acres +/- <br />1 -~ sa xote t 22.80 14,32 <br />2 4A-38 55-60 47.30 44,53 <br />3 -Fr-8 sre xae t 10.18 8,40 <br />4 39-35 40-45 15.52 11.95 <br />5 4A-~S 45-50 21.99 20.89 <br />6 3-1.9 15-20 8.13 7.44 <br />7 35110 5.59 0 <br />TOTALS <br />131.51 <br />107.53 <br />Note 1: Clay mining operations are completed in these stages. <br />13 Revised: Dec. 2003 <br />
