It is extremely unlikely that any toxic or acid-producing materials will be encountered <br />during the mining operation since the material is a "clinker rock" in nature. However, in <br />the event that such materials are encountered, they will be covered with subsoil from the <br />stockpiles to the same depths outlined in the reclamation plan and no more mining will <br />occur in that particular area. <br />The anticipated future average total tonnage sold from the site in any one calendar year is <br />48,900 tons. Table D-1 shows a breakdown of the expected average annual production. <br />Table D-1 <br />AVERAGE ANNUAL PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION <br />Product Tons Sold % Rejection Rate Tons Mined <br /> aturals) <br />Road Base 135,000 0% 135,000 <br />Concrete 25,000 10% 27,500 <br />Asphalt 25,000 40% 35,000 <br />Pit Run 15,000 0% 15,000 <br />Aggregate <br />Washed 25,000 10% 27,500 <br />- <br />Total 225,000 7% 240,000 <br />The total permit area is 30.48 acres.

A water truck will be used <br />to control dust on road during operation. <br />Mining will progress starting with Phase 1 and then move to Phase 2 and finally to Phase <br />3. All Phases will proceed from East to West. 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 225,000 tons per <br />year production (240,000 tons mined). <br />6
