Once approximately 20,000 tons of used asphalt pavement and concrete rubble has been <br />stockpiled it will then be crushed to proper size, and stockpiled for use as recycled materials in <br />new construction. <br />HAUL ROAD - Private drive access to the site is gained from State Highway 141 which is well <br />maintained and in good repair. The alignment of the existing haul route extends to the mine <br />floor and is shown on the accompanying Mining Plan Map. As extraction of the resource occurs <br />the existing haul road will be extended across the mine floor. <br />If necessary, speed limit and other traffic control signs will be installed along the entire length <br />of the haul road and within the mine site. Water will be used on a continual basis to control <br />dust on the haul road and within the mining area. <br />WATER DIVERSIONS and IMPOUNDMENTS - The predominant drainage course found in the <br />vicinity is West Creek, which is approximately 350 feet south of the permit boundary and flows <br />approximately 80 feet below the site. <br />The site is somewhat affected by the potential of flooding from land north of the permit <br />boundary. Two intermittent drainage channels cross the property and flows across the site to a <br />series of culverts that convey water under State Highway 141 to West Creek. <br />Mining will be conducted in a manner that will contain any storm water runoff entering the site <br />by containing it within the pit area and allowed it evaporate or percolate into the ground. In <br />order to maintain the quality of any surface stormwater, which crosses any exposed ground <br />areas, a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP), will be prepared. A key element of the plan calls <br />for grading the area in a manner that will not allow the discharge of any silt laden storm water <br />from the property in the event of a storm. Thus, eliminating any stormwater discharges from <br />the disturbed areas of the site. This will be accomplished by utilizing two; Stormwater Quality <br />Capture Ponds. <br />Water will be used on site when necessary to control dust in the mining area, during crushing <br />operations, and on haul roads. Water for dust control will be obtained from existing water <br />rights owned by the operator. <br />Additional water information is presented in Exhibit G. <br />PETROLEUM STORAGE - There will be no permanent storage of fuel on the site. However, up to <br />10,000 gallons of fuel will be stored in a series of portable diesel fuel tanks that will be located <br />near the gravel crushing unit. All fuel will be stored in above ground steel tanks and will have <br />either a concrete containment structure, or a neoprene liner below a layer of crushed fine <br />material and in containment dikes to prevent any discharges of fuel from leaving the site or <br />4 <br />
