The anticipated future average total tonnage sold from the site in any one calendar year is <br />250,000 tons. Table D-1 shows a breakdown of the expected average annual production. <br />Table D-1 <br />AVFRAGF, ANNUAL PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION <br />Product Tons Sold o Rejection Rate <br />(Naturals) Tons Mined <br />Road Base 140,000 0% 140,000 <br />Concrete 30,000 10% 33,000 <br />Asphalt 30,000 40% 42,000 <br />Pit Run 20,000 0% 20,000 <br />Washed Aggregate 30,000 10% 33,000 <br />Total 250,000 7% 268,000 <br />The total permit area is 191.83 acres. A breakdown of the estimated areas is shown in <br />Table D-2. <br />Table D-2 <br />PERMIT AREA ACREAGES <br />Phase 1 20.95 Acres <br />Phase 2 115.44 Acres <br />Future Bridge and Access Area 42.83 Acres <br />Office, Scales, and Parking <br />(Valentine) 4.16 Acres <br />Office, Scales, and parking <br />(Western Gravel) 0.12 Acres <br />Access Road (Valentine) 1.67 Acres <br />Access Road (BLM) 2.10 Acres <br />Access Road (Love) 4.56 Acres <br />Total 191.83 Acres <br />Roads will be constructed, upgraded and maintained with road base and will be <br />compacted if necessary. The road crosses three pipelines. The pipelines will need to be <br />protected from the addition load in accordance with the pipeline company guidelines. A <br />water truck will be used to control dust on road during operation. <br />Mining will progress starting with Phase 1 and then move to Phase 2. Both Phase 1 and <br />Phase 2 will proceed from west to east. As the mining proceeds the overburden is <br />replaced in the previously mined areas to reclaim the area. By using this method only a <br />portion of the total pit boundary is exposed at a time. Table D-3 shows the phase <br />tonnages, life and exposed area per year of each phase based upon the 250,000 tons per <br />year production (268,000 tons mined).
