The <br />operator wanted to post the warranty in phases and the Division approved the <br />application with a warranty of $1,970,885.00 for the East side slurry wall and pond <br />construction. <br />4) Since the permit was issued in 2008, due to lack of demand, the operator was unable <br />to conduct full production to create the ponds. <br />5) On 10/22/10, the operator submitted a warranty reduction request application and a <br />technical revision reducing the total affected area to be disturbed at any given <br />time 20.40 acres, until the economy improves to allow full production. <br />6) On 11/17/10, the Division verified the affected area that is covered under <br />Technical Revision #1, was clearly fenced and covers 20.4 acres. <br />7) The permit sign was properly posted and the entire 323 acres is fenced. <br />8) Post mining land use is still water storage, however, the 20.4 acres will be mined <br />to only 10 foot depth and no water will be exposed. The original application mining <br />plan as stated above was to mine the pit to an average depth of 33.0 feet with a <br />slurry wall and dewatering operation to mine the pit dry. However the 20.4 acres <br />will be mined without ever exposing ground water. In the event the ground water is <br />exposed, the operators will backfill the exposed water immediately to an average <br />height of 2 feet above the exposed water. <br />cc: F CE <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MR JOE GAGLIANO <br />OPERATOR: L.J DEVELOPMENT <br />STREET: 256 NORTH MERRIL DR <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: P11EBI 0 WEST.
