The highest production rates for the site are as follows: <br />I~ <br />r~ <br />Commodity Annual Production <br />Rate Comments <br />Sand and Gravel 250,000 tons/yr Many years may not mine this amount <br />Asphalt 50,000 tons/yr Many years may not have any production <br />Concrete 10,000 cu.yds/yr Many years may not have any production <br />2. Mining Timetable <br />The following timetable is a best estimate of the sequence of operations for the life of the mine after <br />March of 2002 and is based on mining and selling 100,000 tons of total product per year (this is less <br />than the permit rates but are expected averages): <br />Task Description Time Needed <br />1 Finish mining east of existing Berry Pit 3 months <br />2 Construct sediment pond in sw corner of disturbed area 0.25 months <br />3 Strip soil and overburden from Strip 1 0.25 months <br />4 Mine Strip 1 18 months <br />5 Repeat Tasks 3 and 4 for Strips 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (reclaim previous strip) 126 months <br />6 Mine and reclaim area of visual berm, Strips 10, 11, 12 42 months <br />7 Backfill overburden and soil in Strip 12 0.5 months <br />8 Regrade old pit area and stockpile area 0.5 months <br />9 Retopsoil processing area and stockpile area 0.25 months <br />10 Reseed and mulch last 4 strips, processing area and stockpile area 0.25 months <br />Total: 192.5 months <br />Note: If large contracts are awarded to the site, production could increase to the permit maximum, <br />thereby curtailing the life of the pit. On the other hand, if contracts are less than anticipated, the life of <br />the pit could be extended. This table is based on a reasonable projection of average production rates. <br />Berry Pit 3/02 <br />
