3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br />The facilities on site will be the crushing/screening plant, the washing equipment, Portable <br />asphalt plant, and a truck scale. The crusher / screen and wash plant will be mobile and will be <br />moved to and from this site each year. The equipment will be located in Mining Area 1 (see map <br />C-2). Fuel for the operation will come from either the fuel tank associated with the crusher or <br />asphalt plant. During times that these plants are not located on site, fuel will be provided by a <br />mobile fueling truck. A hot mix asphalt plant will be brought to the site after Mining Area 1 has <br />been mined. <br />Water will be used to control dust on the haul roads and also on the crushing and screening <br />operations. All water used at the site will come from the stock pond to the south of Mining <br />Area 2. The wash plant will be brought to the site periodically to wash material and create <br />stockpiles. The wash plant will not be operated if there is a call from the M-16 priority. Water <br />consumption calculations are shown in Appendix B. <br />Maintenance vehicles will visit the site regularly to provide oil, grease, and perform other minor <br />maintenance on vehicles and equipment. Any major repair work required will be performed off <br />site or during normal operating hours. The truck scale of approximately 20' x 70' size is also <br />installed within the permit boundary. See Map C-2 for the location of the truck scales. <br />The following list is the best estimate as to the equipment which will be used onsite throughout <br />the mine life: <br />Dozer D-8 size <br />2 Front End Loaders 980 size or smaller <br />2-4 Off Road Dump Trucks <br />Part Time Water Truck (As needed) <br />Topsoil Equipment (Scrapers, Graders) <br /> <br />Simmons Pit, March 2009 D-4
