Overburden Stockpile <br />r1 <br />The overburden from Phase 1 will be stockpiled in a berm along the northern permit boundary east <br />of the one-hundred feet buffer between the Hutchins residence to the north and the mining <br />operation. Additional overburden will also be stockpiled to the south of the mining azea. Once <br />enough of Phase 1 has been mined out to start creating the peninsulas detailed in the Reclamation <br />Plan, this stockpile will be rehandled and will create a portion of the peninsula shown in Phase 1. <br />As mining progresses and additional overburden is removed, the overburden will be used for <br />concurrent reclamation, thereby eliminating the need to store overburden in stockpiles. Excess <br />overburden may also be sold as a secondary commodity if such a demand exists over the life of the <br />mine. However, at a minimum, sufficient overburden will be retained on site to reclaim the site to <br />the topography shown on Map F, Reclamation Plan Map minus the island. <br />5. Water Information, Rights and Augmentation <br />All water rights issues such as availability of water for this operation, consumption rates, dust <br />control, etc. is presented in Exhibit G -Water Information. <br />6. Schedule of Oaerations <br />Mining operations will only occur as dictated by demand up to the maximum rates described <br />eazlier in the mine plan. Mining, screening and processing will take place yeaz round and product <br />will be sold from this activity throughout the yeaz, although little is expected to be sold in winter <br />months. The operator will not have night gavel mining operations, although minor truck activity <br />or repairs may occur after hours. Mining, processing and trucking will take place no more than 13 <br />hours per day, between the hours of 6 am and 7 pm, 6 days per week. <br />7. Delta County Impacts and Environmental Impacts <br />The impacts to Delta County will be limited. Minimal dust is expected from the operation due to <br />the pit being wet and roads being watered as needed. Outgoing truck traffic will leave the site via <br />Anderson Pit, April 07 D-11 <br />
