• ~ ~ <br />Once Phase 1 area has been mined out, the topsoil and subsoil from the Phase 2 area wtll'be-strip <br />and used to reclaim the Phase 1 area. The Phase 2 mining area is approximately equal to the mining <br />area of Phase 1 (3.2 acres) although a buffer of 12.5 feet radius will be left around the two single <br />phase power poles which are present in the Phase 2 mining area. These poles are owned by San <br />Isabel Electric, whose engineer made a recent site visit to the property and advised Mr. Menegatti <br />that the required buffer would be 12.5 feet radius and a 1.OH:1.OV sideslope down to the pi[ bottom <br />of 12 feet. Exhibit G of this application contains the written material from the power company re- <br />garding this easement. <br />The mining of Phase 2 will require 3.3 years to mine the reserve of approximately 100,000 tons. No <br />mining will be conducted at night and the majority of [he material will be mined, crushed and sold <br />in the summer months. There will be no fence around the operation, since it is in a remote location. <br />No problems are expected with vandalism. <br />II is extremely unlikely that any toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered during [he <br />mining operation since the total depth of excavation (11~ is so shallow. However, in the event that <br />such materials are encountered, they will be covered with subsoil and topsoil from the stockpiles to <br />the same depths outlined in the reclamation plan and no more mining will occur in this area. <br />The operator commits to clearly marking the boundary between Phases 1 and 2 and to not strip top- <br />soil or subsoil from Phase 2 for stockpiling. Any material stripped from Phase 2 will go directly to <br />reclaiming Phase 1. <br />2. Mine Facilities <br />There will be no permanent mine facilities on site. There will be no office of any kind, no lighting, <br />no fuel storage and no truck scale. A Cat D-8 or other similar dozer will be used [o strip topsoil and <br />subsoil and a Cat 988 loader will be used to mine the material. The loader will load directly into a <br />portable crosher mounted on a robber tired trailer which consists of a hopper, crusher and stacker. A <br />small stockpile of no greater than 5000 tons will exist below [he stacker.lt is expected that the <br />crusher will be set at 1.5 inches so that the entire product from the site will be less than 1.5 inches in <br />size and will be primarily used for roadbase although other uses are possible.
