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