<br />E`tHIBIT D - '1IVIN~, pLAN <br />The permit area is 45.48 acres in size and will be excavated to <br />provide sand material for off-property projects. The excavation <br />will proceed from south to north in four phases. Except when the <br />Creek runs after storm events, the operation will be a dry pit <br />operation. Equipment is stored outside of the dry Creek bed area. <br />When the Creek flows, the operation ceases until the area drys-up <br />so excavation can be continued. <br />There is no e~:act timetable for be~innind and ending etcavation. <br />Beginning will be determined by when the two needed permits IMLRB <br />and Count.yl are issued, and an available user desires the material. <br />Ending will be dependent upon the amotmt of demand and the amount <br />and quality of the excavated material. The operation is expected <br />to last up to lU years. <br />Since there is no surface topsoil, no surt'ace material will be <br />stripped for later revegetation. For each phase, excavation will <br />proceed from south to north. Material will be excavated using <br />backhoes and other equipment. It mar be loaded directly into <br />trucks, or stockpiled. The floor of the e~;cavation will be have a <br />minimum slope of ~%. The side slopes will not be left steeper than <br />'L to 1 temporarily, and 4 to 1 for final reclamation. <br />Since this is a dry pit operation. there will be no affect or <br />injury to an}- water rishts. :~'o processin; of the material will he <br />undertaken, except possibly washing. lJater for washing and dust <br />control will be obtained from one of the shallow permitted wells on <br />the property owned by the applicant. Watering of" stockpiles and the <br />access road for control fua_itive dust emissions will be undertaken <br />as needed. <br />Phe haul route t'or transport of material from the site will utilize <br />the existing access road to Calhoun-Byers Mile Road, then south to <br />Byers. That County road is :;ravel from the entrance south for 1 <br />1/2 miles, then is paved. <br />The operatior, will normally operate from 7:00 .4.M until 7:UU P.M. <br />five days a week. However, since there are no homes within the <br />area, no restrictions are. proposed on days or hours of operation. <br />This ~•rhich would allow the operator to increase the hours and days <br />of operation for a ,job needin° a rapid supply of material. <br />~ maP on the previous page shows the pre-mining conditions and the <br />mining plan graphically. <br />
