Riley Gravel Pit <br />Mining Method to be Employed <br />Exhibit D <br />Mining Plan <br />The New pit perimeter encompasses approximately 19.09 acres. The potential mineral material reserves of <br />rock and soil are 260,000 cubic yards. Approximately 15,000 cubic yards will be removed a year. <br />The maxim seam thickness to be mined will be 70'. The pit azea receives 20" of precipitation a year. <br />Surface water is generally not present in the permit area. The mining operation will no[ intersect any <br />sources of ground water. During operations, the pit will be bermed with material piles or topsoil piles [o <br />contain any overland flow from storm events. <br />Due to the small staging azea and the pit area, reclamation will proceed at the completion of mining. <br />Mining equipment will consist of one crusher with a capacity of 105 tons per hour and usually one front- <br />end loader and one crawler tractor. The crawler tractor will push material across the pit where it will be <br />loaded by a front-end loader into the crusher. Crushed material will be stockpiled at the west end of the pit. <br />Typically no more than twenty truckloads will be hauled per day. <br />A steel gate with warning signs will be placed at the entrance to the pit to restrict access to unauthorized <br />personnel. The pit will be patrolled on a regular basis to inspect for damage and to remove litter and illegal <br />dumping. Jackson County Weed Control will control all noxious weeds. No inoperable equipment or <br />equipment not related to the mining operation will be stored at the site. <br />
