processing plant will be set up approximately 500 feet north of the previous year's
location, and will use raw and finished products as berms to reduce noise to the south.
The drainage ditch will be extended 580-600 feet further north to improve drainage and
transport sediment to the basin. During this phase of Year 3, Stockpiles S8 and S9 will
be built, completing the enclosure of the site.

MINING OF THE LOWER LEVEL
In the rest of Year 3, the southeastern comer and southern edge of the lower level will
be mined. Mining will be done around the edges of the sediment basin and ditches
mconstructed during years 1, 2 and 3. This will be done either by backhoe, working from
m o the top of the face and expanding the open water surface, or by dewatering the pit and
c~ using loaders. Dewatering, when required, will pump water either into the preexisting
~ H pipe or by surface-laid flexible piping to discharge into the Dolores River in accordance
a, ~ with the SWMP. During this second part of Year 3, approximately 3.5 acres (already
o ~ disturbed by previous activities) of the lower level (including the ditch) will be mined.
~4'~ Excess materials will be placed near Stockpile S10 at the south edge, backfilling and
~ ~ beginning reclamation for the permanent ponds. The processing plant will remain in the
o ~ same general location during this portion of Year 3.
~ In Year 4, mining of the eastern and central portions of the lower level will be done,
mining an already-disturbed area of 5.3 acres. The processing plant will remain in the
same general location as during Year 3. Raw material will be removed at a depth of
approximately 20 feet below the original ground surface. During Year 4, excess
materials will be added to Stockpile S10 or to backfill locations as part of the shoreline of
the South and Middle Ponds. This may allow some finish reclamation grading,
spreading of topsoil, grading, preparation and seeding to take place on the south end of
the permit area, as well as along the eastern edge of the permit, in Year 4. This may
allow early removal and use of materials in Stockpiles S3 and S4, which may be
screened to recover gravel before placement.
In Year 5, mining of the northern and northwestern portion of the lower level will be
done, mining an already-disturbed area of 5.3 acres. The processing plant will be set up
at much the same location as in Year 4, although excavation of the material at that
location and stockpiling for processing will be done prior to plant set-up for the year.
Raw material will be removed at a depth of approximately 20 feet below the original
ground surface. During Year 5, excess material will continue to go to Stockpile S10 or
backfilled as part of the shoreline of the various ponds. This will allow some additional
reclamation grading, spreading of topsoil, grading, preparation and seeding to take
place on the eastern and western edges of the permit area in Year 5 while mining
continues, and prepare for final reclamation at the end of Year 5 or in Year 6. This may
allow early removal and use of materials in Stockpiles S5 and S6.
STOCKPILE CONSTRUCTION:
TOPSOIL: Topsoil wi{I be stockpiled immediately after removal, and after year one,
following screening. Stockpiles will be 40 feet wide, 20 feet high, have a maximum
slope of 1:1, and will be prepared (including stabilization against erosion), seeded, and
mulched as they are completed. As stripping will generally be done in late summer or
early fall, immediately prior to mining, seeding would be done in the fall, as
recommended by NRCS.
