This mining will be performed by using a bulldozer to push the surface sand into a <br />pile then afront-end loader will scoop the stockpiled sand up and load it on trucks to be taken to the needed <br />location. The actual mining boundaries will be approximately 800 yazds long, 60 yazds wide, and 6 feet <br />deep. Mining will not be performed during times the creek is flowing water. This project will not realign <br />the channel in any way. Therefor, caution will be exercised to maintain 4:1 slopes to the banks to prevent <br />degradation to them. The banks of the mining azea will be reclaimed by grading the bottom of the creek <br />smooth and slopping the banks to a minimum of 1 foot high to 4 feet vertical. <br />It is estimated that 7,500 cubic yards of sand and gravel will be removed on an annual basis impacting <br />approximately 3.3 acres of Vega Creek. However, the affected pit area is 9.9 acres. <br />The project will not impact any wetlands. Therefor, wetland mitigation will not be required. <br />4. <br />
