<br />Completion of Mining <br />~nks and Gesso, LLC <br />Once all on-site materials have been mined, final reclamation may begin. Specific <br />procedures are described in detail in Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan, but are summarized <br />as follows: the plants, processing facilities, and related structures will be removed. Final <br />backfill of pit edges to near-grade will begin using bulldozers and scrapers to lower the <br />plant site and fill remaining mined areas. Final topsoil placement from visual screening <br />berms will precede the reseeding operations. <br />Description of Overburden, Deposit and Underlying Stratum -Rule 6.4.4 (f) <br />Based on exploratory boreholes, the topsoil-overburden ranges in depth from three to <br />eight feet, averaging five feet in depth. Based on the number of vegetable and other <br />agricultural crops grown in surrounding areas, the topsoils on the Lohmann and French <br />parcels are believed to be relatively fertile for reclamation efforts. <br />The alluvial deposit to be mined averages 34 feet in depth, or 29 feet in thickness. It <br />varies from fine sand and gravels in the upper zones, to coarse sand and larger cobbles <br />near the Pierre Shale bedrock. Gravel typically found in the area has a reputation for <br />being processed into high quality concrete aggregates, asphalt aggregates, and other <br />construction materials. <br />The underlying strata on the property is a stiff, sandy clay which overlays a clayey, <br />weathered bedrock, known as Pierre Shale. <br />Primary and Secondary Commodities -Rule 6.4.4 (q) <br />Construction aggregates, sand and gravel, will be the primary commodities taken from <br />this proposed mining facility. Excess topsoil will be sold as a secondary commodity. <br />Incidental Products -Rule 6.4.4 (h) <br />It is not anticipated that there will be any incidental products as a result of this proposed <br />operation. <br />Lohmann Sand and Gravel Mine DMG 112 20055 <br />L.G.
