<br />Crushing, screening and stockpiling will be located within the proposed <br />disturbance areas at the site. Phase I of the mining will take approximately 5 <br />years to complete and Phase II should be completed in approximately 3 years. <br />Once mining is completed, the processing equipment will be removed from the <br />site and the processing area will be reclaimed. <br />Mining Methodology <br />Once the topsoil has been stripped and the overburden has been removed from <br />the deposit, a dewatering trench will be excavated around the mining area. The <br />trench will end at the low spot of the property in a sump area. A dewatering <br />pump will be placed in the sump and the accumulated water will be pumped to a <br />sediment pond. After settling, clarified water will be discharged. A CDPS <br />Discharge Permit and Storm Water (run off) Permit will be obtained. The <br />dewatering activities will be addressed by a Gravel Well Permit application and <br />Temporary Substitute Supply Plan submitted to the State Engineer's Office. <br />Once the mine area is drained, mining of the sand and gravel deposit will be <br />initiated. The applicant proposes to mine the deposit with front-end loaders <br />which will either load trucks or an in-pit conveyor system to transport the mined <br />material to the plant site. Mining will begin in the northwest corner of the property <br />and progress generally toward the southeast. <br />15 <br />
