2.0 Sand and lsravel Mine Plan <br />2.1 General Plan Gravel Minine <br />Prior to the 2003 amendment, the gravel mining was limited to a 10 acre azea shown on Map C-2, <br />which was part of the 110 operation M-2000-063. This operation is absorbed into the Alma Placer <br />112 permit as a result of the Apri12003 amendment. Gravel mining in the 110 permit consisted of <br />excavating piles of gravel that had been already washed by pre-law gold mining. The gravel was <br />loaded into a portable crushing plant, portable wash plant and portable screen plant for making vari- <br />ous size materials for sale on site. Products ranged from pit run gravel to various road base products, <br />washed sand and boulders. This operation was successful and more room is needed to continue oper- <br />ating. For this reason, the 2003 amendment allows a much lazger azea for sand and gravel mining and <br />it is hoped that future activity will also clean up old waste piles which have been an eyesore for many <br />yeazs north of the existing gold prep plant. It is also likely that the gravel operation will remove all <br />piles of waste gravel from the gold prep plant for sale or for crushing and screening into other prod- <br />ucts. <br />As of Apri12003, it is expected that the azea of the 110 permit will provide another 6 months of sand <br />and gravel mining. At that time, the facilities will move to the new main extraction azea north of the <br />gold prep plant. <br />The 3 plants (crushing, screening, washing) will then be located as shown on Map C-2. Approxi- <br />mately 8-9 acres will be used for the plants as well as stockpile areas, in addition to the stockpiles <br />designated for the gold plant described in the previous section. <br />Although the plan on the following pages shows the potential use of an asphalt plant on site, the <br />permittee hereby states that no asphalt plant will be placed on site at any time without written per- <br />mission from the town of Alma. This approval will be supplied to DMG prior to any placement of <br />the plant on site. <br />Alma Placer 7103 22 <br />
