<br />-11- "~iIBIT C <br />MINING PLAN <br />Mining operations shall be a simple removal process in a dry alluvial setting of <br />moderate to gently slopping surface topography wherein the gravel and sand to be <br />removed is found at the surface and continues downward for the full depth of the " <br />mining operations. From 12" to 36" of top soil shall be removed and stockpiled <br />for reclamation purposes on the southern boundary of the pit, with overburden on <br />the northerly boundary. <br />As conditions require, the mined substances will be pushed into the pit by <br />bulldozers working outward from Che center of an existing pit, or front-end <br />loaders will remove materials directly from the pit walls at the bottom of the <br />pit. Where removal can be effected by the first method, sufficient slope will <br />be maintained at all times to permit the movement of equipment from ground level <br />to the floor of the pit in the area of operations. Where removal from the <br />bottom is required, sufficient slope will be maintained to provide latteral and <br />subjacent support. These procedures will resulC in a gradual expanding of the <br />boundaries of the pit until the boundaries of the affected area have been <br />reached. <br />Once gravel has been moved Co or removed from the bottom of the pit, bulldozers <br />will be used to consolidate the mined materials into stockpiles. From this <br />poinC, front-end loaders will be used to load the mined materials into dump <br />trucks for removal from the mining area. The mine will first be opened on the <br />west end of the permitted area. As operations continue eastward the western <br />area shall be reclaimed. <br />Commencement date will be from the approval date to a time when the gravel is <br />exhausted, at which time we will immediately start on reclamation. <br />aB=lOWater wi:L1 not be used in conjunction with this operation. No ground water will <br />be disturbed. <br />a13 No crush:Cng, screening, washing, or mixing will be taking place a[ the location. <br />Stockpiles will be on East and West boundaries as shown on maps, Exhibit C b E. <br />all There will not be any toxic or acid forming materials exposed as we will not go <br />that deep. " <br />a12 Our trucks will enter into the pit by the road and will do all turning around, etc. <br />within the permitted pit acreage. <br />
