• off each phase with front end loaders. The topsoil will be stockpiled in several locations around <br />the perimeter of the permit area as described later in this section. The overburden will be <br />temporarily stockpiled in various locations within the permit azea until sufficient gravel has been <br />removed to allow for concurrent reclamation as described in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan. <br />Following removal of the topsoil and overburden, the raw gavel material will then be loaded <br />into acrusher/screen plant where various sizes of product will be made and placed in sepazate <br />stockpiles. Dozers may also be used to move topsoil, overburden and/or gravel. Mining <br />activities are expected to occur approximately three to five months per yeaz, while the processing <br />operations including screening, crushing and washing will occur yeaz round. Mining will <br />proceed in phases from the northwest corner of the gavel deposit east through Phases 1 through <br />4, as shown on Map C-2. Upon completion of the mining of Phase 4, mining will proceed <br />immediately to the south into Phase 5 and will then mine west through Phases 5 through 8. At <br />the completion of Phase 8, mining will proceed south to Phase 9 where Phases 9 and 10 will be <br />mined in an easterly direction in the same fashion as Phases 1 through 5. At the completion of <br />Phase 10, mining will begin in Phase 11 in the southeast corner of the permit azea. The eastern <br />. half of Phase 11 will be mined first with the topsoil and overburden used to reclaim previously <br />mined azeas. Upon completion of mining in the eastern half of Phase 11, the western half of the <br />phase will be stripped of topsoil and overburden. The topsoil will be used to reclaim the eastern <br />half of the phase with the excess being stockpiled for the reclamation of the westem half of the <br />phase after mining there is complete. As shown on Exhibit C-2, Mine Plan Map, the azea <br />between Phase 10 and Phase 11 will not be mined; it will be occupied by the asphalt and <br />concrete batch plants; truck parking, fuel storage, mine office and scale. However, the topsoil <br />will be stripped from this azea and the area resurfaced with gravel. <br />The mining of the deposit will occur to the limits shown on Exhibit C-2, Mine Plan Map with <br />slopes no steeper than 2H:1 V around the perimeter of the pit. The interior slopes however, may <br />be mined using a O.SH:1 V to neaz vertical slope on active mining faces. Highwall mining will <br />progess to an offset of the crest line which mazks the mid-slope of the final mining 2H:1 V slope. <br />Both boundaries will be staked prior to mining in the area, This offset serves two purposes. <br />First, the volume of material left in the highwall will allow the crest to be pushed towazds the toe <br />• Anderson Pit, Apri107 D-2 <br />
