<br />The Mining Plan Map, will show in more detail the topography and the gravel <br />deposits. However, the nature of this deposit is a very gravelly sand material <br />used for construction aggregates, such as road base, and structural fill materials <br />as the main products. The overburden is about 1 ft. in depth, and the gravel <br />deposit is a mining of 6 ft. deep. Overburden will either be used in the product <br />mix or used for backfilling the pit. There are no secondary commodities to be <br />mined or extracted on this site. <br />As stated above, gravel is the main commodity to be mined at the Cucharas Pit, <br />and there are no other commodities to be mined. <br />n. The proposed mining permit is being requested for the intent of mining 1 1/2" <br />road base. The raw material will be excavated with afront-end loader, it will <br />then be moved to a conveyer, crushed, screened and stockpiled. A reserve of <br />specification aggregates will be created on the site as mining progresses. Once <br />there is an adequate supply, the processing plant will be moved to another site <br />and the processed material will be removed as needed. The processed material <br />will then be taken to either a road project. <br />
