including road base, pit gravel, asphalt and possibly some excess overburden as select fill. The <br />average production is expected to be 55,000 tons per yeaz, which is more reflective of the demand <br />in the few year prior to 2006. <br /> <br />The breakd ~ of the total permit acreage given below is based on a worst case disturbance for the <br />life of the pit: <br />Permit Area Description Acreage <br />1~Soi1/Overburden Stockpiles 1.80 <br />2. Processing area (in mined outazea) 2.42 <br />3. Product stockpile area (in mined out area) 1.32 <br />4. Mining azea in Strips 1 through 4 (including topsoil stripping, active pit, roads) 14,1 <br />5. Sediment Control Ponds, Traps and Ditches 1.60 <br />6. Areas Below Strips 1, 2, 3 an 4 not actually disturbed except for collection ditch 5.20 <br />7. Undisturbed areas 9.58 <br />Total Permit Area 36.02 <br />Although the entire disturbed azea totals 26.44 acres, the actual disturbance is approximately 21.24 <br />acres, since #6 above is not actually disturbed. These azeas are between the lower edge of Strips 1, <br />2, 3, and 4 and the sediment control ditch located west and south of the strip areas. It also includes a <br />portion of area south of the southern edge of Strip 1 to the access road. These areas aze included <br />within the overall disturbance since they have disturbance on both sides. The Reclamation Plan <br />described how the true disturbed azeas (26.44 ac - 5.2 ac) = 21.24 acres, will be reclaimed. <br />Dozers may also be used to mine the material on site or move soi]/overburden. This plant consists <br />of a portable rock crusher and screen plant to obtain the desired material sizes. Up to 3 portable <br />stacker conveyors aze used to stockpile the various sizes of material. Processed material is stored in <br />stockpile azeas as shown on Map C-2. Any fines from the crushing/screening operation will also be <br />salvaged and used in the reclamation although the past operation on the site has produced very little <br />fines. The crushing/screening has been done by subcontractors on a dry basis. This method will <br />continue to be employed in the future, although Western Gravel reserves the right to process the <br />Bellgazdt Pit 1/06 <br />7 <br />
