' • • <br /> EX <br />IT B (Cont'd) <br /> the formations underlying the alluvium of the Gunnison River <br /> and Seep Creek will not be re ached. <br />' As soils and overburden are removed from each sta <br />e <br />these <br /> , <br />g <br /> materials will be stockpiled and segregated. The wide varia- <br /> tion in overbu rden thickness makes specific location of over- <br />burden stockpiles difficult to forecast. <br />After removal of the overburden, the sand and gravel material <br />will be taken from the pit by using a conventional dragline or <br />loader to convey the sand and gravel to a portable crushing <br />plant. The material will be processed by the portable crusher <br />and then stockpiled for later removal from the affected land. <br /> As each stage is in process, the property boundaries will <br />' be graded to a slope of 3 to 1 or less, and a reasonably level <br />' and smooth bottom will be maintained in the pit. Final grading <br /> and smoothing will be a minor item and will be accomplished during <br />' the reclamation phases. <br /> The Gunnison River is approximately 0.6 miles north of the <br /> site. The river is 60 to 80 feet lower in elevation and will <br /> not be affected by the excavation of the property. Seep Creek, <br /> the only other describable water course, is approximately 0.25 <br />' miles to the south of the site and is not expected to be <br /> affected. <br />' <br /> Timetable. Stage 1 of the mining operation will involve <br />' approximately the westerly one-third of the affected area. <br /> Stages 2 and 3 will proceed in an easterly direction, each stage <br /> <br /> involving approximately one-third of the mining site. <br /> <br />-4- <br />1 <br />
