5 <br />SECTION 1: DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES <br />The activities checked below are activities that are presently performed on-site or are <br />expected to be present in the future. <br />C~ISTRIPPING <br />The overburden is removed and the material is either sold, hauled away or stockpiled. <br />Stockpiles may be in the form of berms. <br />^EXCAVATION -WET MINING ENVIRONMENT <br />(Check one) <br />^Dragline: <br />Sand and gravel is excavated below water level and winrowed adjacent to the open <br />water for the purpose of dewatering. <br />After sufficient dewatering has occurred, the pit run material can be conveyed or <br />hauled by means of loader or trucks for final washing and screening. <br />^Dredging -bucket type: <br />Material is excavated from below water level and directly conveyed to the plant for <br />final washing and screening. <br />ODredging -pump type: <br />Material is sucked into an underwater pipeline and pumped to the surface. A booster <br />pump is sometimes needed to pump the material through the pipeline to the first <br />processing screen which is sometimes as high as 60' from the ground. <br />C~EXCAVATION -DRY MINING ENVIRONMENT <br />(Check one) <br />^An alluvial deposit which intercepts ground water which is pumped down <br />6~A dry terrace deposit wherein ground water is not encountered. <br />, <br />
