<br /> <br />less than 3/8-inch and send all larger material to a port- <br />able crusher. The crusher will stockpile this material <br />adjacent to it in piles 25 ft. high. Another loader will <br />load out the haul trucks for delivery to the stationary <br />plant. <br />I <br />As noted on exhibit C, the wash water and dust control <br />ponds in section 35 will have to be built in order to put <br />the plant in operation. The excavation of these ponds will <br />occur before the main "slot cuts" in phase I of the mining <br />plan and this material will be processed with a portable <br />crushing plant. <br />When the volume requirements of the pit become great <br />enough, the applicant will place a continious, track-type <br />excavator and conveyors in the pit, replacing the 7-yard <br />loader and haul trucks. <br />The stationary plant will consist of a 40 ft. steel struc- <br />ture that will hold a large sizing screen and cone crusher. <br />After the material is further crushed and sized, it will be <br />washed on a wet screen and placed in conical piles adjacent <br />to the plant via radial stacking conveyors. Load-out of <br />finished product will then be accomplished by front end <br />loader into 100-ton rail cars on the adjacent spur track. <br />The proposed operation is designed to leave a protective <br />berm between the mining area and the creek. This will min- <br />imize the potential impacts from floodwater entering the <br />excavation. The cuts through the berm, shown on exhibit C, <br />are designed to allow surface drainage to discharge through <br /> <br />- 2 - <br />
