• ~nks and Gesso, LLC <br />the south-central portion of the property and will be maintained below existing grade so <br />that any precipitation will be retained in these areas. <br />As initial excavation approaches the mining limits, dewatering quantities will be at a <br />maximum. However, once the first areas along the perimeter are lined and reclamation <br />proceeds, the quantity of groundwater pumped should stabilize and begin to decrease. <br />Since concurrent lining of the mining perimeter will occur throughout the operation, <br />dewatering quantities should remain uniform for the remainder of extraction activities, <br />until the final perimeter is reclaimed. Additional water, secured by water rights to the <br />Rural Ditch, will be utilized for aggregate processing and as a product component in the <br />concrete batch plant. <br />Phasing Schedule for Mining and Reclamation Operations -Rule 6.4.4 (d), (e) <br />The entire project will occur in one phase. The schedule for mining and reclamation <br />follows. <br />Initial Operations <br />Everist will erect the initial concrete plant, maintenance and office facilities, and scale as <br />located on Exhibit C-3. This will involve stripping of topsoil and overburden from the <br />plant site area prior to erecting the processing equipment. The aggregate plant will be <br />erected on the site in late 2001 or early 2002. Topsoil and overburden stripped from the <br />plant area and within mining limits will be stockpiled for later use in reclamation. <br />Initial mining will create the ponds for use as process water ponds. Raw materials will <br />be stockpiled for later processing. Stripping of other portions of the site will allow for the <br />excavation of de-watering ditches, settling ponds, and setting the pumping systems. <br />Overhead powerlines and transformers will be installed to provide power for the electric <br />dewatering pumps and plant equipment. Subsequent mining will progress north and <br />then eastward into the French Property (Area C, See Exhibit C-3). Mining with an <br />approximate 1:1 slope will occur in all areas. As soon as the deposit floor in the <br />Lohmann property has been reached and enough working area exposed, clay-lining of <br />the pit edges will begin. <br />Lohmann Sand and Gravel Mine DMG.112 20055 <br />L.G.
