h1INING & RECLAMATION PLAN - PIT N0. 2 ~~~ <br />• INTRODUCTION <br />This pit was opened by the Daniels Sand Division of Transit Mix Concrete <br />in 1957, on the property west of Highway 83 (Academy Blvd). The deposit <br />East of Highway 83 was opened and mining commenced in 1980. Fine sand <br />is being stripped and hauled to Pit No. 1 for reclamation with coarse <br />material backhauled from Pit No. 1 to produce sand for concrete block <br />manufacture and gravel by-products. <br />Mining of this deposit will continue for at least 50 years based on <br />existing reserves and estimated production rates. <br />Reclamation will continue on a phased basis. We are presently pumping <br />• fines into a pond. When the pond is filled the dike will be moved and <br />areas needing sloping will be pumped and later graded, topsoiled and <br />seeded. The reclamation of this site will be to a grassland site with <br />the possibility of conversion to a commercial or industrial use if zoning <br />permits. The following text and drawings describe the mining and re- <br />• clamation process. <br /> <br />
