6.4.4 Exhibit D -Mining Plan <br />Mining Description <br />The Mining Plan is described in this section and correlated with Exhibit C-2, Mine <br />Plan Map (C-2). Mining is sequenced with designated mining Cells A-C as <br />shown on Exhibit C-2. Mining will be accomplished by the "dry-mining" method <br />with alluvial groundwater being de-watered and pumped from the aggregate <br />resource prior to excavation. <br />Mining will employ conventional aggregate mining techniques including use of <br />scrapers or backhoes to excavate overburden and sand and gravel and haul <br />trucks to move materials as either backfill or as sand and gravel to be further <br />processed at the gravel plant site. Sand and gravel processing and a concrete <br />batch plant will be located onsite with shipping of finished product occurring <br />offsite. <br />Earthwork <br />Earthwork will generally occur as indicated in Table 6.4.4-1. Sand and Gravel <br />extraction will follow stripping of each mining cell. Reclamation will occur <br />concurrently wherever possible. <br />Table 6.4.4-1.
