New sediment fence installation below the lower staging area (existing waste rock dump) <br />was completed in September, 2006, down gradient several to a few tens of feet below the <br />2005 fence. Additional sediment catchment potential was enhanced by the placement of <br />boulders and sediment fencing in the bottom of shallow drainageways. These structures <br />will help to control off site movement of sediment and/or stormflows until lower rock <br />dump sediment basin construction is completed. <br />During June and July, 2006, culvert installations and storm control construction was <br />performed on Forest Service Road 228, approximately one mile from US Highway 50. <br />Approximate Timetable for Mining Operations <br />Phase I <br />Timeline Area, Acres Activity <br />2006-2010 Highwall west of existing mine cut Topsoil pile development <br /> Southern l/3'a of highwal] Bench Development <br /> 10 acres Footwall waste removal <br />2006-2010 Main pit area, 20 acres Ore extraction, waste <br /> removal <br />2006-2010 Lower Waste Dump 5 acres Waste Placement <br />2010-2015 Highwall Area above Topsoil pile development <br />central 1/3'~ of original mazble Bench Development <br />cut, 10 acres <br />Phase II <br />2010-2020 Main pit azea progressing north Ore extraction, waste <br />30 acres removal <br />2015-2030 Highwall Area above northern 1/3rd Topsoil storage <br />of marble outcrop progressing north Bench Development <br />to end of affected land boundary <br />Phase III 10 acres <br />2015-2030 Main pit extended to northem boundary Mazble Extraction <br />20 acres Waste Removal along <br /> Hangingwall contact <br />2015-2030 Main pit, south half of cut Waste Placement, <br />20 acres Backfilling <br />2025-2030 Lower Mine Site Staging Area <br />Rock Dump Final Grading, reveg <br />Approximate locations of pit operations, product stockpiles, waste rock dump <br />development and reclamation by Phase located on Mine Plan Map Cc. <br />12 <br />
