EXHIBIT B (Supplemental Mining Plan) In addition to the matters set forth in the original Exhibit B, the following matters will be followed by the applicant with regard to this gravel pit. It is anticipated that the depth of mining shall not exceed 8 feet in any given area. There will probably be an average of 6 feet throughout the gravel pit. The extraction activities will be conducted at least 35 feet from the nearest roadway. There is no bridge on the county road. The mining and reclamation will not alter the channel gradient or configuration. It is believed that upon completion of the mining, that natural process will reclaim the channel to the condition that now exists. The mining will have no impact on the county road that is adjacent to the proposed gravel pit and there is no bridge located thereon or other structure which would be adversely affected. There is very little topsoil located in the stream channel there is approximately five inches of topsoil or a thin layer of dirty sand on approximately one acre of this gravel pit. To the extent that is possible, the topsoil will be stockpiled and utilized in reclamation. It is anticipated that this topsoil will be very difficult to save as it is very thin and is mixed in with the gravel. The topsoil that now exists supports only sparse vegetation and weeds. The only existing topsoil is located in the southeast corner of the gravel pit. Any topsoil that is able to be saved will be stockpiled directly west of the proposed gravel pit. The topsoil is so shallow that it will be difficult to stockpile and it does not maintain any native grass only sparse annual weeds. If the stockpile is substantial enough for reclamation, the stockpile will be stabilized by the planting of some type of vegetation thereon.
