• DILL PIT <br />Exhibit C <br />d) Present indications are that the deposit will have approximately 10 to 25 feet to <br />be mined to a minimum 2' above the groundwater depth. The depth mined will be a <br />minimum 2 feet above the ground water depth and varies across the site because of the <br />topography and the groundwater depth, depending on the amount of moisture received. <br />The greater depths of excavation will be in the areas of the hills surrounding the drainage <br />swale. As the elevation increases, the greater the excavation depth. <br />e) The major components of the mining operation are limited. Access to the pit <br />will be by a gravel driveway from Highway 24. This gravel driveway access is located <br />north and east of the pit area and was previously used for pit access onto the property. <br />The drive access location is approximately 0.30 miles east of the Highway 24 and County <br />Road 189 intersection north of the pit area. The gravel drive will be 20' wide and will <br />access the pit at the northeast corner of the pit area. The driveway area is included as part <br />of the proposed pit area. There will be no office or shop/maintenance facility. There may <br />be some storage sheds and trailers. The equipment to be used on the site can be loaders, <br />trucks, belly dump, end dump, dozer, grader (maintainer), scraper, track hoe, flat bed <br />trucks (low boys), asphalt lay down machine, a screening and/or wash plant, a portable <br />asphalt hot plant, and portable scales. The production will be based on the demand <br />needed and is anticipated to vary from year to year, depending on the scheduling of larger <br />projects. Since this is a dry open pit operation there will be no underground openings <br />such as adits or ventilation facilities. The exhibit "E" map shows the pertinent details. <br />f) There are no existing significant disturbance to the land surface. There will be <br />no mine benches, impoundments, or waste rock disposal areas. <br />g) A new access road from Highway 24 to the pit is needed and will be part of the <br />9.9 acre area. No improvements on existing roads are needed. Because the driveway will <br />be located at an existing access drive and gate, a culvert will not be needed. There will be <br />no associated drainage or runoff conveyance structures to be built with this operation. <br />All drainage will be directed through the active pit to the existing drainage on the north <br />side of the pit area. The existing drainage swale stays on the owners property for <br />approximately 0.50 miles until it crosses Highway 24 to the property to the north.
