Mining will progress through the Phases numerically. A table of expected mining lives for each <br />Phase is included in Table D-2. The life of each Phase is based on the anticipated annual <br />• <br />• <br />maximum tonnage. Any available topsoil from a new area will be used to reclaim the previously <br />mined areas. This will reduce material moving as well as reduce the maximum area to be <br />reclaimed. Since there does not exist sufficient amounts of topsoil onsite to reclaim the site, some <br />screening fines will be salvaged and tested to determine necessary additives to make the fines <br />suitable for reclamation topsoil. <br />The pit will be isolated from surrounding run-off by a berm along the highwall during mining. <br />Also, a catch berm will placed along the road on the south side of the pit to prevent stormwater <br />from leaving the pit. Stormwater run-off calculations are shown in Exhibit G. <br />Table D-1 Mining Area Material Table <br />Mining Area Acreage Topsoil (C.Y.) Overburden (C.Y.)

The anticipated <br />total mining area for the operation consists of approximately 24.55 acres. <br />Highway trucks will haul sellable material to market from the processing site. Truck traffic will <br />utilize County Lane 15. <br />The gravel thickness is approximately 20 feet, and it is believed that the deposit is relatively flat. <br />Korinek #I Pit August 2009 D-3
