site. The entrance to the pit is in good condition and will not require any improvements with this <br />amendment. <br />Explosives will not be used in conjunction with this operation. <br />2. Mining_Timetable <br />The following timetable is a best estimate of the sequence of operations for the life of the mine <br />after February 2006 and is based on mining and selling 300,000 tons of total product per yeaz: <br />Table D-4: Mine Life by Task <br />Task # Description Time Needed Months <br />1 Move plants and facilities 0.5 <br />2 Mine Phase 1. 9.6 <br />3 Reclaim Phase 1, and mine Phase 2. 34.8 <br />4 Reclaim Phase 2, and mine Phase 3. 26.4 <br />5 Reclaim Phase 3, and mine Phase 4. 28.8 <br />6 Reclaim Phase 4, and mine Phase 5 19.2 <br />7 Reclaim Phase 5 3.0 <br /> Total months 122.3 <br />The mining schedule is planned to minimize disturbance by reclaiming areas as additional <br />mining is undertaken. Note: If lazge contracts aze awazded to the site, production could increase <br />far above the expected annual average, thereby curtailing the life of the pit. On the other hand, if <br />contracts aze less than anticipated, the life of the pit could be extended. This table is based on a <br />reasonable projection of average production rates. <br />3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br />The site will contain the following Facilities; it is noted where applicable whether or not the <br />facility is portable and whether it will have any fuel storage associated with it. Table D-8 below <br />shows a summary of the tanks which will be present onsite as well as give a summary of the <br />secondary containment used with each tank. <br />Colona Pit November 06 D-7 <br />
