(d) Thickness of deposit to be mined. <br />The target aggregate materials consist of very gravelly sand; 50% gravel and 10% <br />cobbles. This deposit extends from an approximate five (5) to fifteen (15) feet <br />BGL. Total deposit thickness is from 9 to 10 feet in thickness. <br />(e) Major components of the mining operation. <br />1. Access to the site will be off a private road owned by the Landowner. A <br />fence surrounds the site perimeter. Process equipment will operate either <br />within the excavation footprint and/or at the NE corner of the site as shown <br />on the maps. <br />2. Perimeter Buffer areas will be used to temporally stockpile topsoil by the <br />fence and overburden materials along the top edge of the excavated area. <br />Temporary process operations and some overburden and product stockpiling <br />will be done within the excavation footprint. <br />3. There are no shop, office or maintenance buildings presently onsite or <br />proposed. <br />4. There are plans to provide for portable crushing or screening plants and/or a <br />possible temporary asphalt plant to process material at this site as needed. All <br />material will be handled onsite using a dragline, tracked excavators, <br />bulldozers and front-end loaders to temporarily stockpile and load to haul <br />trucks. Material stockpiles may be temporary or may be produced and <br />reduced on a daily basis and will be conveniently located adjacent to active <br />mine pit areas as excavation activities proceed. <br />5. There will be no under ground openings such as ventilation facilities or adits. <br />The operation will be an open pit operation. <br />(f) Dimensions of any significant disturbance to land surface. <br />Approximately 6.20 acres will be disturbed by mining. Buffer areas may be <br />disturbed due to topsoil stockpiling and will be graded and seeded as part of <br />the excavation backfilling and concurrent reclamation activities at the site. <br />Mining will start at west end and move to the east and north as shown on the <br />Exhibit E maps. Slopes would be 3:1 or less into the pond area. <br />2. A small water surface of less than 2 acres will be created. There will be no <br />mine benches.
