Connell plans to mine to the claystone bedrock. The claystone is generally competent and will
withstand erosional forces. However, some areas might not contain marketable sand and gravel
down to the bedrock. This areas will remain exposed until the reservoir is filled with water. To help
suppress dust, Connell will consider seeding areas of the reservoir bottom that have a high potential
for dust emission.
Processing& Asphalt Batch Plant Site/Equipment
The processing equipment, asphalt batch plant, and other equipment are portable and will be
removed from the site following the completion of the project.
Gradine
Grading will be done to provide stabilized shorelines around the reservoir. All backfilling will be
done using native overburden, topsoil and claystone. There are no known toxic materials in the
proposed backfill material.
All grading will be done to prevent erosion. Final grading will be done immediately after topsoiling
has been completed. Backfilling will be completed in phases after mining is completed.
All slopes left by the mining operation will be no steeper than 3H:1 V from five feet above to ten feet
below the water elevation (including the islands). All other slopes will be no greater than 2H:1 V.
Earthen berms will be place along the north and east edges of the property prior to completing
mining in Phase 2. These berms will serve as a visual screen of the property.
Topssoiling
The topsoil will stockpiled for the reclamation process. Topsoil stockpiles which remain in place
longer than one growing season will be seeded with an Annual Rye Grass. It will be hand broadcast
at rate of four pounds per acre. Handling of topsoil will be minimized by efficient sequencing of the
mining.
Stripped topsoil will be stockpiled out of the floodway to reduce the risk of inhibiting the flow of
a flood. In addition, the stockpiles will be aligned with the natural flow of the river. In Phase 2
topsoil will be temporarily stockpiled along sections of the phase perimeter and will be used to
reclaim once the aquitard is established. In Phases One and Three through Seven, Connell will limit
the amount of topsoil stockpiled at any one time by continuously using it to cap backfilled areas.
