6. Mining Timetable <br />The following timetables are the best estimate of the sequence of operations for the life of the mine <br />after August 2004 and are based on selling 400,000 tons of total product per year. This production <br />is an estimate. Due to market conditions and other factors, the mining production may be different <br />than this estimate. Reclamation is included in this timetable since reclamation will take place <br />immediately after the mining of each phase. <br />As described in the general mining plan, Stages A and B will be mined concuttently. As seen in the <br />tables below Stages A and B will terminate at roughly the same point of time, which will be <br />approximately 20 years. At which point the operations of the two Stages will combine to mine the <br />remaining Phases. The tables below show that the general mining plan will first strip the topsoil <br />from the Phase ahead, while mining the current Phase and reclaiming the Phase which was last <br />mined. From stripping the topsoil in Phase Al to the final reclamation in Phase 17, approximately <br />32 years will pass. The topsoil and overburden stripping will only occur approximately 5 to 6 days <br />per year. <br />Table D-4: Mine Schedule <br />Stage A <br />Task # escri lion ime needed ears <br />1 Stri to soil from Phase A 1 .02 <br />2 Stri to soil from Phase A2, and mine Phase Al .75 <br />3 Strip topsoil from Phase A3, mine Phase A2, and reclaim Phase <br />1 .67 <br />4 Strip topsoil from Phase A4, mine Phase A3, and reclaim Phase <br />2 5.02 <br />5 Stri to soil from Phase 5, mine Phase A4, and reclaim Phase A3 5.40 <br />Total 19.84 <br />Haldorson Sand and Gravel Mine 16 <br />
