f) The pit will be accessed from Co. Rd. 61 and Co. Rd 16. No new roads will <br />be built to access the permit area. There will be temporary haul roads inside <br />the pit area, but they will be removed as reclamation occurs. <br />g) There will be no shop, plant, or other facilities permanently located at the <br />mine site. Equipment will be maintained at the site when mining is occurring. <br />This will be on a periodic basis since material will only be mined on an as <br />need basis. The equipment used to mine the gravel will be primarily a <br />scraper, dozer, front-end loader, and trucks. Fuel and equipment will be <br />outside of the pit area on the permitted acres. Equipment will be serviced out <br />of the mining area. Re-fueling of equipment will occur on site. <br />h) No water will be used in conjunction with the operation. There could be <br />instances when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to continue. At those <br />times, mining will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine <br />again. Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. <br />i) The material to be mined will be used for road construction. <br />i) The material contains road worthy gravel. Based on information from the <br />landowner, we feel there will be usable material up to 35 feet deep. The <br />overburden is approximately two feet in depth. <br />ii) The material immediately below the area mined has a primarily clay nature. <br />j) The materials to be removed from this pit include gravel and gravel with clay. <br />All material is intended to be used for road construction. <br />k) We will use a 225' setback from Co. Rd. 61 and the residence on the west side <br />of the property and 225' from Co. Rd. 16 to the north. To the east and south <br />sides of the dined area there will be a 25' setback. The setback areas will be <br />used as an unimproved track for inspection and maintenance on equipment. <br />1) Dust control measures will be utilized, as necessary, on Co. Rd. 61 and <br />internal pit roads. Dust control will be exercised in front of the Dorthy <br />Hubbard farmstead and the Randy and Darlene Weis farmstead. Either mag <br />chloride or water will be used for dust control. Water, when used, will be <br />purchased from commercial wells in the area as available. Care will be taken <br />to control dust in the pit area.
