3 <br />~~ <br />Page 2 <br />Phase III-A <br />The major difference between operations of this phase and the above <br />mentioned phases is the use of a dredge for mining. Topsoil will be <br />stripped prior to mining and will be used to continue dike re-enforce- <br />ment and to backfill the north and east edges of Phase III. The dredge <br />will Leave a thin "ribbon" of undisturbed material between the existing <br />water in Abandoned Gravel Pits "C" and "B" and the newly created water <br />surface in Phase III-A. This thin strip of land is left as requested <br />by the landowner. Operations in this Phase are expected to last 2 years. <br />Phase IV <br />The topsoil and overburden will be stripped and used for dike re- <br />enforcement. The area will be mined with the dragline and operations <br />in this Phase should last 2 years. <br />Phase IV-A <br />Topsoil will be stripped and used to continue dike re-enforcement and <br />to fackfill along the east and south edges of Phase IV. Plant Site II <br />will not be mined, Material will be excavated using the dredge. <br />Actually, only about half of the area included in Phase IV-A will be <br />excavated. This occurs because the landowner wishes the existing bodies <br />of water left unaffected by mining; therefore, roughly the northern half <br />of Phase IV-A will not be mined. Also, a causeway connecting the office <br />site and northern half of the site will be left. A 15 foot "ribbon" of <br />land will be Left between abandoned gravel pits "A" and "B". The strip <br />of land between those pits will also be left as will the remaining land <br />surface north of the two abandoned pits. This operation should last <br />3 years. <br />Phase V <br />Topsoil and overburden will be stripped and used in dike re-enforcement <br />and backfilling along the road on the south edge of Phase IV-A, around <br />the office area and Plant Site II. Material may also be utilized to <br />fill additional areas in Phase V to above water. Mining in Chis area <br />will be accomplished with a dragline and operation in Phase V should <br />be completed within a 2 year period. <br />Phase V-A <br />Topsoil and overburden will be stripped and used for dike re-enforement <br />and backfilling along the north and east edges of Phase V and possibly <br />along the road on the sourthern edge of Phase V-A. Operations should <br />take 3 years. <br />Phase VI <br />Topsoil and overburden from Phase VI will mostly go into backfilling <br />a larger portion of Phase V and VI, The area will be mined with a <br />dragline and will take place over a 2 year period. <br />
