overburden stockpile created during the mining of Mining Areas 1 and 2 as well as the washed <br />fined stockpile created throughout mining. <br />The overburden and topsoil stockpiles will be seeded within a year of being placed. Seeding will <br />take place during times of higher seasonal precipitation. <br />A 2 ft tall stormwater isolation berm will be placed on the northern most portion of the mining <br />area to ensure that no stormwater is allowed to leave the site during mining. This berm will be <br />made of overburden and will be backfilled over during reclamation. See map C-2 for the location <br />of this berm. <br />Waste fines will be produced at this site in the production of washed aggregates and asphalt. The <br />estimated breakdown of the fines generated is shown if Table D-3. The waste fines will be stored <br />in a stockpile in Mining Area 2. The waste fines stockpile will be used to create the reclaimed <br />topography of Mining Area 2. Since the amount of waste fines is estimated to be 160,000 tons <br />over the life of the pit, the stockpile will need to be distributed over the pit floor occasionally. <br />Table D-3 Waste Fines Estimate <br />Product Produced Annual <br />Production Percent Fines <br />Produced Amount of Fines Produced <br />From This Product Per Year <br />Asphalt 40,000 30% 12,000 <br />Washed A rre ate 30,000 12% 3,600 <br />Road Base 50,000 0% 0 <br />Total 120,000 13% 15,600 <br />5.
