05052 <br />6.0 Environmental Impacts <br />Banks and Gesso. LLC <br />Air <br />Air impacts could potentially be created from the processing plant, land disturbance and <br />the haul roads. The applicant will obtain the required air permits from the State prior to <br />mining. A water truck is dedicated to this site for the purpose of maintaining dust control <br />on internal haul roads, stockpiles and disturbed areas. <br />Water <br />There is no negative impact on groundwater expected from this operation. Mining will <br />stay above the water table based on monthly measurements from 5 on-site Piezometers <br />and if any groundwater is unexpectedly encountered, mining will immediately cease in <br />that area and the area will be immediately backfilled to 2 feet above the water table. <br />Surface water will be used from Smith Creek for dust control as allowed by water rights <br />associated with the property. <br />There will be no discharge into any streams or water bodies from operation of this site. <br />Noise <br />The placement of the processing plant within the pit (approximately 50 feet below ground <br />surface) will minimize noise from this operation. Six foot screening berms will also be <br />placed around the mined areas as needed to minimize noise and visual impacts. <br />King Mountain Sand & Gravel Mine February 2006 <br />King Mountain Gravel, LLC Page 9 <br />
