This exclusion eras approved by Mr. Schmieding after consultation with Mr. McCall. Portland cement is a separate manufactured product vrith cement plant equipment and buildings ex- cluded from affected land in several states with similar regulations. (,iii) Exhibit D. Introduction mentions an s.verage thick- ness of 35.4 feet of the lower Fort Hays limestone ~ ~~~ is quarried with II to 12 feet of the overlying & ~3~. This /,3 to 48 total fe e•t of limeetone~ has u.sua.lly been quarried in one bench; however, a recent two-bench operation was initiated Tor quality control reasons. The quarry floor slopes about 25 feet per 1,000 feet to the southwest. The surface elevations as indicated ~~ by the 5-f t. interval topography shown on map pee-1387 r~(Q ~~ y ~ is primarily th.e erosional pattern of the limestone de- ~' ~~~- ? posit, with minor varying amounts of soil materials and Ov gravels as generally located in Exhibit B (c ), para- graph 3. The location and depths of these materia~.s are not a matter of record other than the difference between surface and floor elevations at any given location. Limestone quality information is available from a few e.lec~P.ed core drill holes for general estimation. ~ ~ Overall stripping rltio of the west quarry was calculated ~~"` "`{ " ~~ at about 1 to 1, but recent operation indicates this ~~'""U'~~ may approach 1.3 'to 1.
