<br />Connell used a 35 foot setback for the west side of the property and portions of the north and <br />south sides. For the remaining perimeter of the property a 50 foot setback was used because of <br />the installation of the French Drain System and the relocation of Boxelder Ditch on the east side <br />of the property. These setbacks are labeled on Exhibit C. <br />Methods of Minine <br />Connell will use the same mining techniques as they presently use at Wellington Downs (Permit <br />No. M95-035). The operation will be open pit dry mining. Well points will be installed on the <br />property to begin dewatering operations. These will be discontinued afrer lining the perimeter is <br />completed. Mitigation of groundwater impacts is discussed in Exhibit G. <br />Dozers, scrapers, haul trucks and/or rubber tired front end loaders will be used to first remove [Ite <br />topsoil and overburden. They will strip enough land to keep ahead of the mining progress. The <br />topsoil and overburden will be stockpiled on the west side of the pit or used to backfill. The <br />same equipment will be used to mine the sand and gravel and transport it to the processing area. <br />Depending on economics, portable deed conveyers may be placed m the bottom of the pit and/or <br />haul units will be used for transporting material to the wash plant and asphalt plant. <br />Material for processing will be crushed, screened (sorted), and then conveyed to stockpiles. The <br />crushing and screening facilities are portable and will be moved with the mining progress. 7~hese <br />processing facilities will be placed in either the pit bottom or on higher ground, depending on <br />what is more functional at the time. <br />Some of the processed material will be washed. The washing facilities will be located on the <br />north side of the property near the proposed site for the asphalt batch plan[. Sediment ponds <br />located adjacent to the wash plant will be used for recycling water. <br />Description of Eguiament on Site <br />The equipment used at this operation is typical of what is used at sand and gravel mining <br />operations. Connell will transfer the equipment from the Wellington Downs operation to this <br />operation. The majority of the stationary equipment will be placed on the north side of the <br />property. Connell's equipment list includes but is not limited [o [he following: <br />Processing equipment <br />-Crushers, Screens, Field Conveyors, Asphalt batch plant, Wash plant and sediment <br />ponds. <br />Earth moving equipment <br />-Tractor trailers, Dozers, Front end loaders, Scrapers. <br />Miscellaneous <br />-Dewatering pumps, Foreman trailer. Maintenance equipment, Sanitary facilities, Water <br />trucks, Truck scale. <br />
