<br />' MINING PLA N <br /> <br />' The property that is the subject of this <br />(112) Operation consists of 32.8 acres, application to amend a Regular <br />which i ffected <br /> land of the original permit (M- 94-005), and an tional 48.9 ac of ~ <br /> effected land for a total of 81.7 acres of affected land out of 119. <br />' o a acres in two parcels of property. <br />The additional affected area is adjacent to the original permitted area <br />' on the east side. All of the area that is to be mined is situated on <br />the same terrace as the original permitted area. <br />' The depth of excavation will remain to be 25 feet to 30 feet below <br />original elevations. <br />It is the intention of the applicant that the operation will be <br />' separated into five separate and distinct phases for the purposes of <br />mining, reclamation and posting of financia- 1 warranty. Q~,[~j~' <br />--- - <br />' The operations and relative time line of each phase is described in the <br />following narrative. <br />Based on a Geologic Evaluation conducted for the original a ication ~ <br />' for permit number M-94-005, no excavation will occur with 30 feet of <br />any significant, valuable or man-made structure. <br />~ Phase I is essentiall the original mining plan for M-94-005, including <br />' thethe or3 g~1 p an for the extraction of grave processing of graded <br /> aggregates, production of hot-mixed asphalt, and related activities <br />' previously identified. <br /> Mining has commenced, as planned, in the north-west section of the area <br /> and has proceeded in a south-easterly direction. The haul road has been <br /> constructed along the northern permit boundary and will serve as the <br /> primary access route through ~ the subsequent mining phases. <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />The mining plan for the area covered under the original permit is <br />altered in that the eastern portion of the property will be mined <br />through to the adjacent property. This change is addressed in the <br />description of the mining plan for phase three. ~ ~I ~ <br />Phase II, consisting of 8.1 acres, lies east of phase I~and is at the <br />northern end of the amendment area. <br />It is expected that mining operations in phase II will occur <br />concurrently with phase I in that the area will be affected by gravel <br />extraction, crushing and stockpiling during much of the same time frame <br />as similar mining operations are conducted in phase I. <br />The initial activity to occur in phase II is that the topsoil will be <br />removed from the area to be mined and placed in storage outside of the <br />mining area in phase Ii, as indicated on the Mining Plan Map. <br />3 <br /> <br />
