EXHIBIT C (pg 2) Under the proposed action, the applicant would mine and reclaim the site concurrently. The reclamation on National Forest System lands would be implemented concurrently with production, for about 3 years. Both base and enhanced reclamation would be implemented on private lands. The table shown below (Table 2.1) summarizes the proposed mining and reclamation operations schedules. Mining and reclamation operations shown in this table include both the proposed (west) and current mining and reclamation. Table 2.1 -Timetables for Mining and Reclamation Operations Phase Year Minin in Area Mined Acres Reclamation in Area 1 1-2 West 13 to 26 2 2-4 West & Current On- oin West & Current 3 5-12 Current NA Current Source: Cas[le Concre[e Company, Zo00a Castle Concrete conducted a survey of the proposed site and developed a detailed plan for mining and reclamation. Following is a detailed description of the activities associated with the phases of development on National Forest System land and in the area already permitted (private land). A. Minine Phase 1 Pre-production site preparation activities are designed primarily to secure the site boundaries, provide access for mining, salvage and storage of topsoil, and to implement drainage improvements. Phase 1 also includes benching and initial backf`illing. This phase of the proposed action would involve the following steps: ]. The proposed cliff (sloped high-wall) locations would be surveyed and the boundary of the proposed disturbance area would be field marked. 2. Bulldozers would be used to build temporary access roads to the top of the proposed disturbance area, west of [he current permitted boundary. These roads would be located south of the main drainage area thus not interfering significantly with the occasional runoff to the quarry during storm events.
