Hauling will occur from spring through fall annually. <br /> Approximately 3, 500 , 000 tons of sand and gravel is expected to <br /> be mined. Major disturbance will affect about 45 acres during <br /> any year Front end loaders and dump trucks will be used for <br /> excavating and hauling; bulldozer and blade will backfill. <br /> Depth of Ore Body and Underlying Stratum <br /> The sand and gravel deposit in the areas to be mined lies 6 <br /> to 13 feet deep. Below it extending to a depth of almost a <br /> mile is bedrock of Pierre Shale of the Cretaceous age. Bed- <br /> rock will not be disturbed by the mining operation. Test holes <br /> were completed in 1974 . <br /> 1 D-6 <br />
