<br />Phase 3 of the operation will consist of mining slices of the property from north to south using a <br />field conveyor and/or haul units to bring aggregate back to the plant site. These slices will be <br />approximately 200 feet to 300 feet wide. They will progress from the west side of the property <br />and move to the east. <br />Sediment ponds will be located adjacent to the interstate on the south side of the wash plant. <br />These ponds will be used to recycle wash water and remove fines. The f nes will be removed on <br />an intermittent basis and used as part of the reclamation operations. <br />Topsoil and overburden will be temporarily stockpiled along the boundary of Phase I. As the <br />perimeter is sealed, stockpiled overburden and topsoil will be used [o backfill portions of Phase <br />[I~at are not included in the final reclamation plan. <br />The phases in the interior of the pit progress from west to east as long narrow north-south <br />directional strips. Mining in these phases will limit the amount of overburden and topsoil <br />stockpiled. <br />Table D-1 outlines the maximum area of disturbance at any one time in the life-of--mine. Table <br />D-I is based on disturbance in Phase 2. See Exhibit L for more detail. <br />Table D-1.
