The next phase of mining is scheduled to commence <br />upon approval of the 112 Permit. The 49 acres of land can be separated into 6 different <br />areas. These areas are listed as follows: <br />• Previously mined pit: 6.98 acres <br />• Existing gravel pit: 6 acres <br />• Phase 1: 10 acres <br />• Phase 2: 10 acres <br />• Phase 3: 10 acres <br />• Existing family residence and out buildings: 4.39 acres <br />• Residual land remaining: 1.12 acres <br />(a) Mining for the next phase of work will commence upon approval of this <br />permit application. Work for each phase of work is estimated to last 10 <br />years for each phase. <br />(b) Standard earthmoving equipment will be utilized for grading and <br />contouring of the mine slopes. Slopes are proposed to be a maximum 3: <br />gradient for side slopes. <br />(c) It is not anticipated that there will be any water encountered during the <br />mining process. Therefore no water diversions or impoundments are <br />proposed for this project. <br />(d) Each mining phase will be10 acres in size. <br />(e) (i) Mining for each phase is proposed to last approximately 10 years. <br />It is anticipated that reclamation work will commence upon the <br />completion of each phase of work.
