<br />' The maximum disturbance in the crushed stone azea is 48 acres according to the following azeas: <br />48 acres -crushed stone area <br />' 16 acres -plant and processing site <br />7 acres -active primary mining azea <br />3 acres -secondary color mining area <br />' 3 acres -secondary color mining area <br />8 acres -overburden excavated area <br />8 acres -reclamation azea <br />' 3 acres -reseed area <br />3.D.2 Cut Stone <br />Exploratory drilling showed the designated cut stone azea as having the most color variation, <br />' which is an important factor in decorative building stone. <br />The cut stone operation will be low volume and will produce a custom product for each <br />' individual order. No blasting will be used to loosen the stone. <br />The area of disturbance due to the removal of the cut stone is not expected to be greater than 12 <br />' acres. See Section 3.B.2. Stone cutting will occur in two to four locations within the immediate <br />area of the operation. Each cutting location will be about an acre in size. Each area will have a <br />particulaz stone color or texture in order to suit the customer's demand. The stone will be cut <br />from the deposit then loaded into trucks and hauled off-site. The extraction plan map includes a <br />schematic drawing of the cut stone facility as well as a schematic drawing of how mining and <br />' reclamation will progress to limit the area of disturbance. <br />3.D.3 Reclamation <br />' Reclamation will be concurrent with excavation and CMI is committed to keeping the area of <br />disturbance from mining and processing below 60 acres at any one time. <br />1 The proposed reclamation plan meets the requirements of Rule 3 in the 1996 DMG Construction <br />Material Rules and Regulations as follows: <br />' Gradrng <br />' Grading will be done to prevent erosion and provide stabilized slopes suitable for planting with <br />rangeland grasses. All slopes left by the mining operation will be no steeper than 3H:1 V. <br />Grading materials will be native overburden and topsoil. Final grading and reseeding will be <br />done immediately after rough grading of overburden and topsoiling has been completed. <br /> <br />1 <br />' 18 <br />
