They sequence of mining is as follows: <br />1. The topsoil overburden will be stripped separately and/or <br />stored in a stockpile or placed on an area to be <br />reclaimed. <br />2. The plant site and Hall Road will be constructed. <br />3. The dewatering ditch on the perimeter of the mining phase <br />will be constructed. Groundwater leaking into the dry <br />pit will be directed toward the dewatering pump. <br />4. Sand and gravel will be extracted and transported to the <br />plant site for processing. <br />5. Precious material will be stockpiled as finished product <br />and then hauled off the site. <br />Due to the mining and phases in the concurrent reclamation. the <br />entire site will not be disturb at one time. During any given <br />year, there will be property being stripped in preparation of <br />mining, property being mined, a plant site set up, and property <br />under reclamation. In looking at Exhibit "C", the areas of mining <br />phase two and three are the largest. Therefore, for the purposes <br />of calculating disturbance we will assume that mining is occurring <br />in phase three while phase two, shoreline, is under reclamation. <br />Therefore the disturbance associated with the mining is classified <br />as follows: <br />Major Disturbance <br />Mining, Phase 3 <br />Topsoil Stockpiles, Phase 8 <br />Overburden Stockpiles, Phase 8 <br />Stripped prior to Mining, Phase 4 <br />Moderate Disturbance <br />Plant Site and Product Stockpiles, Phase 3 <br />Haul Road <br />Shorelines, Phase 2 <br />Minor Disturbance <br />Reclaimed and Seeded, Phase 1 <br />r <br />14.2 acres <br />0.3 acres <br />0.7 acres <br />2.0 acres <br />1~~t <br />2.6 acres <br />0.6 acres ~~. z <br />1.1 acres w~ <br />_/r, ~'1 <br />,~ , ti ' <br />1.7 acres <br />TOTAL DISTURBED ACREAGE 24.4 ACRES <br />
