i) Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. <br />j) Since no water is to be used, there should be no injury to existing water rights. <br />k) No refuse, acid, or toxic producing materials are anticipated at the site. Other <br />mining enterprises in this part of Washington County have never yielded any <br />such materials. <br />1) The finished pit will be returned to rangeland. There should be no disturbance <br />to the hydrologic balance. <br />m) While processing of the material is not anticipated at the site, this depends <br />upon the quality of the material and needs of buyers. Limited processing <br />could occur if there is need. <br />n) The commodities to be mined are gravel, clay, and sand. <br />o) The mined materials will primarily be used for road material or other <br />construction projects. Some of the overburden could be used for other <br />purposes such as landscaping projects. <br />p) No explosives will be used in this operation. <br />EXHIBIT D - Reclamation Plan <br />The primary reclamation plan for the pit is to slope all areas at a slope no steeper than <br />3:1. The entire pit area will then have topsoil replaced, then be seeded according to <br />recommendations received from the Washington County Natural Resource Conservation <br />Service. <br />a) The pit area has topsoil averaging 4" in depth. That topsoil will be stockpiled <br />and returned during the reclamation process. <br />b) Slopes no greater than 3:1 will be left in the completed pit. <br />c) There are no other reclamation treatments to note for this site. <br />A cost estimate for final reclamation has been not been prepared since this pit is operated <br />by a county government.
