<br />F.XHT RTT C' <br />Mininq Plan <br /> <br />This permit application is for conversion of a 111 permit to a 110. <br />The permit will allow continued stockpile and removal of valuable materials <br />developed as by-products during the crushing operations conducted under <br />the 111 permit. It will also provide a future source for Phase 5 of the <br />Bureau of Reclamation's Closed Basin Project. <br />Initial mining was completed during June 1988. However, removal of <br />stockpiled materials, if allowed, will take at least two years. It is <br />expected that the life of the pit will be less than 5 years. <br />A minimum of 8" of topsoil was stockpiled and will be stockpiled <br />if future expansion of the pit takes place. We propose to seed the top- <br />soil stockpile with crested wheatgrass or Western wheatgrass at a rate <br />of 3 pounds per acre. Depth of available material ranges from 6' to 10'. <br />Existing stockpiles are shown on Exhibit E as are roads and exisiting <br />excavations. <br />Water used in crushing operatings and on haul roads was imported <br />from farmer's ponds in the area. Any future water used for dust abate- <br />ment on haul roads or in processing operations will be imported from <br />approved sources. No groundwater was or will be encountered. <br />On site processing if any would be limited to a crushing operation <br />and perhaps a portable asphalt plant. <br />
