The mining operation used a high and low <br /> benching procedure to reduce the high wall exposure. Both benches were mined at the western end of the <br /> gravel exposure and only the upper bench mined toward the eastern `high wall' area. Mining in 2002 will <br /> continue to mine both benches progressively into the 0.80 acres noted on the map. <br /> Triantos Pit is one of several operated by Delta County and is mined as needed for county <br /> projects or gravel reserves. Delta County crushes and processes the gravel in each of its pits with a <br /> portable crushing plant. The Operator intends to preserve the ramped roadway along the south edge of <br /> Phase I for vehicle and equipment access to the top level of the pit. The ramp will be mined at a later <br /> date. <br />
