i~ <br />' EXHIDIT D r11NING PLAN <br />t A. Methods of Mining <br />' On the portion of the west parcel which will be mined, there are <br />no trees or shrubs which must be stripped. The topsoil and over- <br />, burden will be excavated and relocated to form a roadway/screening <br />mound along the periphery of the parcel. A backhoe capable of ex- <br />cavating sand and gravel to a 25 foot depth will be utilized. The <br />mined material will be stockpiled and allowed to drain, since most <br />of the material will be taken from below the groundwater table. <br />' ' 4. Earthmoving <br />Small scrapers can be used to excavate and relocate topsoil and <br />~ , overburden. Dozers will be used to shape the screening mounds <br />and to move some mined sand and gravel to temporary storage locations. <br />A backhoe capable of excavating to a depth of 25 feet will be used <br />' to do the actual mining of sand and gravel. Roadgraders will be <br />used to build and maintain access roads. <br /> C. Water ranagement <br /> There will be no water diversions and inipoundnients. Groundwater <br /> will simply collect in the excavated pit and remain at or below <br />' the elevation of the groundwater table. See EXHIDIT G for more in- <br /> formation on surface and groundwater management. <br /> D. Size of Areas <br /> (i) Major disturbance - of the three parcels, only the hest Parcel <br /> will have excavation operations. It is anticipated that of the <br />' approximately 45 acres wViich can potentially be mined, 5 acres at <br /> a time will have topsoil excavated and sand and gravel mined and <br /> stored. <br />_, <br />I <br />
