• STATE LAND - JENSEN PIT <br />EXHIBIT B: MINING PLAN <br />We presently plan to award a contract for road construction in this area <br />in the late spring or early summer of 1983. At .that time material from <br />this pit will be made available for the contractors use. The work under <br />this contract should be completed by late summer 1983. However, it is <br />quite possible that future highway construction projects and our maintenance <br />forces will also utilize material from this source for their work. All <br />such operations would be of relatively short duration with the affected <br />area probably being used for less than 18D days per year. <br />The proposed permitted area is adjacent to County Road 41, so access <br />will be directly from the affected area to the county road. <br />It is possible that we will utilize this site as a source of both gravel <br />and borrow material. <br />We will not designate any specific areas as plant and stockpile sites. <br />This will allow those doing the work to locate the sites in the most <br />advantageous area for their particular operation, so long as they remain <br />in the permitted area. <br />The Department has outlined and specified the following general <br />requirements concerning the mining of gravel and/or borrow from the area. <br />However, those doing the work will be given latitude as to the sequence <br />of operations, methods, and equipment used. <br />The following is a general outline of the proposed mining operation: <br />A) Excavation is to begin at the north edge of the permitted area and <br />extend back into the deposit. <br />B) The top six inches, approximately, in the pit, plant, stockpile, and <br />access road areas will be stripped and stockpiled. <br />C) Any excess overburden lying below the top six inches might possibly <br />be utilized as borrow or filler. If it is not used it will be <br />stockpiled. <br />D) The exposed sand and gravel will then be excavated and either <br />stockpiled, processed over screens and stockpiled, or hauled directly <br />from the affected area. <br />E) If it is stockpiled in the affected area, it will be later hauled to <br />the roadway, or it will be processed through a plant where it will be <br />mixed with asphalt and then hauled to the roadway. <br />
