<br />RANDY PERDUE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL LIMITED IMPACT <br />(110) OPERATION RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION <br />EXHIBIT C -MINING PLAN <br />a) Perdue intends to commence quarrying flagstone in the summer of 2000, and to continue <br />operations for approximately the next 30 years. <br />b) The entire estimated 36 - 60 inches of soil will be stockpiled for use in the reclamation <br />process. The pit will be no more than one acre in overall dimension at any given time. <br />As mining progresses along the path in the direction depicted on Exhibit E-Map, the <br />overburden will be graded flat for use in storing quarried stone and pallets. Because the <br />soil will be smoothed for use as a foundation for storing the quarried stone and pallets, <br />seeding the area will not be required. However, any areas of exposed overburden that are <br />not used for such storage will be reseeded to reduce the possibility of erosion. Only the <br />overburden from the first pit will be used for stone and pallet storage. <br />The mining operation will be conducted in two phases. In phase one, overburden will be <br />utilized as previously stated. In phase two, mining will proceed in the same direction as <br />phase one and overburden will be pushed into the previous phase one pit in the <br />reclamation process. In any case, natural seeds and grasses in the removed soil should <br />provide sufficient vegetative cover for any stabilization until reclamation, otherwise, the <br />overburden will be seeded. A forklift will load the pallets on semi-[rucks parked nearby, <br />which will use the existing driveway and roads to transport the flagstone to the point of <br />sale. After the strip has been mined, an adjacent strip will be opened. The soil from the <br />new strip will be used in reclamation of the quarried area to take advantage of the diverse <br />live native seed contained therein. Additional seeding will be applied as needed in <br />accordance with the reclamation plan. The total acreage of the quarry is approximately <br />9.7 acres, as depicted on Exhibit E (although the Application erroneously states the area <br />is six (6) acres). <br />c) Thickness of the overburden varies from 36" to 60". The location of overburden used in <br />stone and pallet storage is depicted on Exhibit E -Map. There will be no waste rock. <br />The area of the storage sites will be approximately 200' x 600'. That material will be used <br />to reclaim the old pit upon opening a new pit. All pits will be opened within the <br />permitted boundary area. <br />d) The exact thickness/depth of the deposit is unknown. Perdue intends to mine the <br />thickness/depth of the deposit to the extent feasible. <br />e) Stone Canyon Road is a county road which provides access to the property containing the <br />affected area. From Stone Canyon Road, an existing driveway will provide access to the <br />
