' Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />MINING PLAN (as submitted to the DMG under their Exhibit D) <br />' Overview <br /> The applicant proposes to expand the existing sand and gravel mining site. <br /> <br /> Sand and gravel from the expansion areas will be processed at the existing <br />' processing plant. Approximately 140 acres of the total permit area acreage of <br /> approximately 287 acres is proposed for new mining (see Exhibit C-3, Mining <br />' <br /> Plan Map). The mining area will be contiguous to the currently permitted <br />' operation, and will bedry-mined. The proposed excavation areas will be <br />' reclaimed as water-storage reservoirs surrounded by a combination compacted <br /> clay liner and impermeable slurry wall that will be constructed in phases, during <br />' the mining operations. The previously mined northern area will be reclaimed as <br />' an un-lined wildlife pond. The edges of the reservoirs will be reclaimed to an <br /> irregular shoreline. The post-mining land use of the property is for water storage <br /> and surrounding wildlife habitat. The existing access from Riverdale Road will be <br />' maintained for the future owner of the water storage reservoir. Since some of the <br /> materials are only suitable as structural fill, the final total area mined depends on <br />' the sale of these fill materials, and the final area mined may be smaller than <br />' permitted. The Reclamation Plan assumes the cost for restoration of the <br />maximum mining area as water storage reservoirs and wildlife habitat. <br />1 <br />(a) Mining Methods <br />' The Applicant proposes to dry-mine the property. The initial mining will occur <br />' near the northern end of the South Reservoir, expanding the existing mine area, <br /> and progressing southward.
