<br />6dnks and Gesso, LLC <br />clockwise manner and will result in highwalls of approximately 1 to 1 slope. <br />When the highwall along the eastern boundary of the site is established, backfill <br />with clay material ripped from the floor of the excavated area, together with <br />settled material from washing and dewatering will begin to create permanent <br />slopes around the perimeter of the proposed reservoir. Mining in Area 2 is <br />projected to require up to 8 months to complete. <br />Phase 3 <br />As mining continues into Area 3, recoverable topsoil and overburden will be <br />stripped and consolidated in Area 2. Dewatering trenches will be maintained, as <br />necessary. As mining proceeds over a six to eight month period in Area 3, <br />backfill of slopes will be completed along the site's eastern boundary and will <br />continue in Area 2. <br />Phase 4 <br />Having completed mining, the Applicant will remove equipment and utilities and <br />finish the slopes and clay lining of the reservoir. Completion of Phase 4 is <br />projected at 2-1/2 years after the mining operation is initiated. Reclamation <br />activities, as described in Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan will be completed within 6 <br />months of completion of mining. <br />Mining Methods <br />The Applicant proposes to dry mine the property. Due to existing grade, runoff <br />and accumulating ground water will flow naturally into a collection sump in the <br />southwest corner of the site; but dewatering trenches will be excavated, as <br />needed, to assure dry mining conditions. Initial mining will occur in the north <br />center of the site, Area 1, and will proceed generally in a clockwise fashion. <br />124 Estates -Regular 112 Application 01029.WD <br />124'" Estates Partners ~ August 2001 <br />
