~~ <br />? 7-1 SI <br />' larger .until at the completion of all mining the entire area will be <br />reclaimed as a fishing lake and water fowl habitat as indicated on the <br />Reclamation Plan Map Ex. F. <br />' Phase 1 - The 29 acres designated as Phase 1 on the Extraction Plan <br />Map is presently the area of major activity including mining, washing <br />' and stockpiling. This area will be exhausted in a few years and mining <br />will proceed to Phase II. Plant operations will continue in the Phase I <br />area. <br />' Phase II - Mining of the 44 acres in Phase II will commence in the <br />southeast corner and advance northward then westward across the area <br />ending in the western-most portion of the area. Total extraction is <br />' estimated to take approximately seven years. <br />Phase III - The 21 acres in Phase III will be mined commencing on <br />t the western boundary and will proceed eastward to completion in approximately <br />a three to four year period. <br />Approximately 12 acres devoted to plant site and stockpiles will <br />' remain a major disturbance throughout the life of the operation. <br />Presently about 27 acres exist in a state of moderate disturbance. This <br />' area will progressively decrease as mining converts these areas to ponds <br />with reclaimed shorelines. Land surface being prepared for revegetation <br />' and recently reseeded will represent roughly ten acres of minor disturbance <br />' at any one time. <br />1 <br /> <br />
