' the area(s) which is being mined and backfilled: A detailed discussion <br /> of the methods of disposal of that water are described in a following <br /> ' section. <br /> As the water table is lowered in' an individual mining area, the gravel <br /> t which was formerly below the water table will be removed down to bedrock <br /> or until the quality of the gravel deteriorates below acceptable standards, <br /> ' whichever event occurs first. While the water table is still artificially <br /> lowered in that individual mining area, the overburden from the next mining <br /> ' area will be placed in the de-watered area so that it can be properly <br /> ' compacted and the moisture content controlled during placement. This <br /> method is highly preferred to attempting to place the same material in a <br /> ' wet or pond area. De-watering will continue until the overburden has been <br /> filled to a grade three feet above the normal water table, including an <br /> ' adequate thickness of top soil . 1 <br /> ' The gravel materials mined at the site are intended for use as base course <br /> beneath pavements and as aggregate in asphaltic concrete pavement. At this <br /> ' point there is no intention to use the aggregate from the site as portland <br /> ' cement concrete aggregate. The aggregate mined from the site will be used <br /> primarily in BEST-WAY PAVING COMPANY's own paving operations, rather than <br /> ' being sold to competitors as raw aggregate. As a result, only enough <br /> aggregate must be stockpiled to supply BEST-WAY's own construction projects <br /> tand smaller stockpiles can be tolerated than if raw aggregate is sold in <br /> ' large volume directly from stockpile. <br /> ' -11- <br />
