Place topsoil on all sideslopes. 4 <br /> Seed the sideslopes. Remove the product <br /> - 6 stockpiles and scale. <br /> Total 108 <br />The mining schedule was developed to minimize disturbance by reclaiming mined out areas <br />while additional mining occurs. This schedule is based on a reasonable projection of average <br />production rates. It shows that mining will occur over approximately 9 years and the total gravel <br />mined will be approximately 102,000 tons. This is based on computer grids generated from the <br />topography and the available exploration data. <br />3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br />An asphalt plant may be located onsite, above the 100 year flood plain and the existing ground <br />water level. If an asphalt plant is brought to the site, it will be present only temporarily during the <br />summer months when paving projects are in progress. The crushing and screening will follow <br />the mining progression. The mobile plants will have attached fuel tanks which will also fuel the <br />mining equipment while the plants are present. All other times, fuel will most likely be brought <br />Mott pit, March 2009 C-3
