<br /> <br />Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />import approximately 1.2 million tons of clean fill material to satisfy reclamation efforts <br />under the current plan. <br />It is anticipated that two pipelines will be relocated to facilitate more complete mining of <br />the Nix site. The relocation of these two pipelines would reduce the amount of backfill <br />needed by approximately 435,000 tons and increase the amount overburden available <br />for reclamation by approximately 135,000 tons. Moving of the pipelines would also allow <br />for mining in other areas not currently planned for extraction within the site, thus freeing <br />up more material for reclamation purposes. As indicated earlier, application for <br />amendment to this permit will be submitted if and when these pipelines may be relocated <br />and other areas mined. <br />Post-mining topsoil application will consist of approximately six inches and cover all <br />areas of disturbance not permanently covered by water. The acreage of disturbed areas <br />requiring topsoil equals approximately 22 acres (approximately 22,225 linear feet of <br />shoreline, covered 18 feet down pit slopes, plus other areas of backfill). The quantity of <br />topsoil required as plant-growth medium for the surface, at a depth of 6 inches, will be <br />approximately 26,300 tons. Exhibit F, the Reclamation Plan Map, shows the typical <br />slopes that will be created by final reclamation of the mining site. <br />Topsoil will be spread evenly over all exposed and disturbed areas for plant-growth <br />medium. The required amount of topsoil to be used as plant-growth medium will always <br />be maintained on-site to ensure proper reclamation. Typical topsoil berm locations can <br />be seen on the Exhibit C-3, Mining Plan Map. <br />Topsoil stockpiles will be temporarily revegetated for protection from disturbances <br />associated with the mining operation and from wind and water erosion, compaction, and <br />other disturbances that would reduce its capability to support permanent vegetation. <br />The stockpiles will be broadcast seeded with a temporary cover when they will remain in <br />place for more than one growing season and will be constructed with a maximum 2:1 <br />slope. <br />Nix Property Sand and Gravel Mine.CDMG.112 Permit 20075.WD <br />Owens Brothers Concrete Company May 2001 <br />13 <br />
