<br />ESHIBCT D - y1.V1:yi. PLAN <br />• The permit area is ~45.~B acres in size and will be excavated to <br />provide sand material for off-property projects. The e~:cavation <br />caill proceed from south to north in four phases. Except when the <br />Creek runs after storm events, the operation will be a dry pit <br />operation. Equipment is stored outside of the dry Creek bed area. <br />When the Creel: flows, the operation ceases until the area drys-up <br />so excavation can be continued. <br />• <br />There is no e~:act timetable for beginning and ending excavation. <br />Beginning will be determined by when the two needed permits IMLRB <br />and Conntyl are issued, and an available user desires the material. <br />Ending will be dependent upon the amount of demsnd and the amount <br />• and quality of the excavated material. The operation is expected <br />to last up to lU years. <br />Since there is no surface topsoil, no surface material will be <br />stripped for later revegetation. For each phase, excavation will <br />proceed from south to north. Material will be excavated using <br />backhoes and other equipment. It may be loaded directly into <br />~ trucks, or stockpiled. The floor of the e~:cavat,ion will b.' have a <br />mu ope of '!:6. 'Ilse side slo es will not be left steeper than <br />'L to 1 to porarily. and to 1 for final reclama ion. <br />Since this is a dry pit operation. there will be no affect or <br />• injury to any- wager ri,hts. No processing of the material will be <br />undertaken, e~:cept possibly washing. Water for washing and dust <br />control will be obtained from one of the shallow permir.ted wells on <br />the property owned by the applicant. Watering of stockpiles and the <br />access road for control fugitive dust emissions will be undertaken <br />as needed. <br />~ 'Phe hai.~l route for transport of material from the site will utilize <br />the existing access road to Calhoun-Byers Mile Road, then south to <br />Byers. That County road is gavel from the entrance south for 1 <br />1/2 miles, then is paved. <br />~ The operatior, will normally operate from i:00 .~.M until i:UU P.M. <br />~ ~ five days a week. However. since there are no homes within the <br />\ area, no restrictions are proposed on days or hours o*_' operation. <br />This which could allow the operator to increase the hours and days <br />of operation for a .iob needing a rapid suppl~• of material. <br />• map on the previous page shows the pre-mining conditions and the <br />mi ing plan graphically. <br />- ~ w~c( ~ s fie ~ ~ro d-~-G`~ U skor,,~ w a.'re`--~ ~ <br />-~f~o~v.~rv~~'1' ~ tc~y-~eU ~zfW~~ ? <br />• <br />
