Eihibit E CMLRB 112 Permi[ Application <br />Agile Stone Systems, Inc. <br />• 2.1 Soil Salvage and Stockpile Design <br />Soil will be salvaged from all disturbed azeas in advance of any disturbance to depths <br />between 5.5" and 12" deep. Most azeas with topsoil aze intermixed with boulders and <br />cobbles. Any +4" material will be scalped to improve top soil availability and quality. <br />Recoveries are expected to range between 30% - 85%. Gravel topsoil salvage will start <br />with the plant area and move to gravel azea IB followed as needed by azeas IA, II and III. <br />Advancement will depend upon product demand. Quarry topsoil salvage will start with <br />the plant azeas and move to Granite areas I, II and III as the granite quarry is developed. <br />All gravel salvaged topsoil will be placed on the temporary topsoil stockpile. All quarry <br />salvaged topsoil will be placed on storm water berms or the temporary topsoil stockpile. <br />The table at the end of this section summarizes expected topsoil salvage from each azea. <br />A series of permanent berms will be constructed along the southern permit boundary to <br />reduce noise and impair visual examination of the project. These berms will be <br />constructed from rock and sand material not sold from the project. As the permanent <br />berms aze completed, topsoil will be removed from the temporary topsoil stockpile and <br />placed in a 8-10" layer and be seeded. A table of anticipated topsoil volumes for each <br />azea is included for review. The difference between the temporary topsoil stockpile and <br />that used for the permanent berms will be used to reclaim each future mine azea. After <br />gravel area IA is mined, the top soil from Phase II will be used to reclaim gravel area IA <br />and the remaining permanent berms. Likewise, topsoil from Phase III will be used to <br />reclaim gravel area II when the latter area is completely mined and Phase III azea is <br />• started. Direct haul of topsoil to final placement will be a priority to maintain the soil's <br />integrity and minimize haulage. <br />The temporary topsoil stockpile will vary in height and width so as to blend the stockpile <br />into the surrounding topography. Topsoil stockpiles will be graded to no more than 2.0:1 <br />to 2.5:1 slopes prior to temporary seed mixture planting to promote wind and water <br />resistance. The topsoil stockpile is oriented neazly perpendiculaz to the prevailing wind <br />(north-northeast) to decrease wind and water erosion potential. When portions of the <br />stockpile aze removed for soil redistribution, removal will take place on the east or west <br />ends to limit disturbance. The topsoil stockpile will be mazked with a sign to insure that <br />the stockpile is not inadvertently contaminated with other materials. <br /> <br />z <br />
