The Mine Plan phases have been revised to better accommodate the amended Wetland Mitigation <br />Plan. The decrease in jurisdictional wetlands at the project site means that less wetland mitigation <br />will be necessary and a simplified Mine Plan and Wetland Mitigation Plan are proposed. <br />The Mine Plan will consist of access road and processing area construction, and nine major mining <br />phases. The designations of the mining areas have been revised (Figure MP-1). The general project <br />description included in the original document is still applicable, as is drawing MP-2. A summary of <br />the revised project schedule follows. <br />3.1 Estimated Project Schedule <br />Activity Estimated Date Wetland Disturbed Wetland Created <br />Access Road and <br />Processing Site Aug 1999 -Oct 1999 0.09 acres (0.04 for <br />access road and 0.05 <br />for Processing Site) <br />Phase I Apr 1999 -Dec 2000 <br />Phase II Jan 2001 -Mar 2002 <br />Phase III Apr 2002 -Feb 2004 <br />Phase IV Feb 2004 -Mar 2006 Construct mitigation <br />area at Island I <br />Phase V Feb 2004 -Mar 2006 Transplant wetland <br />vegetation and soil to <br />mitigation area. <br />Phase VI Mar 2006 -Mar 2007 <br />Phase VII Mar 2007 -Sept 2008 <br />Phase VIII Oct 2008 -Sept 2010 <br />Phase IX Oct 2010 -Mar 2012 <br />Final Reclamation Apr 2012 -Dec 2012 <br />At the request ofthe CDOW, a second island has been added to the proposed Mine Plan (see MP-1). <br />IYIDILUMLe ItY I J~~ ' ~UCJ~'< <br />7 <br />
