Request for Extension Permit No. 98-Z1281 <br />Stegner Farm / Trollco Inc <br />4.0 MATERIAL VOLUMES <br />We estimated the volumes of material remaining in the pit. These would <br />be the materials that would be sold/removed over the three year extension <br />period. The tonnages are as follows: <br />- In place, unmined sand and gravel 49,000 Tons <br />- Sand stockpiles 54,000 Tons <br />The pit floor contains cobbles that are suitable for landscaping rock. <br />There are probably tens of thousands of tons of this material. However, <br />even if the cobbles are not removed it does not significantly affect the <br />ability to reclaim the property or to create the lake. <br />5.0 OPERATING PLAN <br />The days and hours of operation shall remain the same as those specified <br />in the original permit. The same trucking limits shall also apply although <br />the truck traffic volume will be much lower than when Al was operating the <br />pit due to the limited tonnage of material remaining. The material will be <br />marketed to local contractors and others who need relatively small <br />quantities of sand and gravel for local projects or perhaps for road base on <br />private property. <br />The material will be removed with loaders or excavators and removed by <br />trucks. Revegetation will proceed concurrently with mining and hauling. <br />The concept is to load the material from where it is directly onto the haul <br />trucks to the extent possible. There may be very limited processing of <br />sand and gravel material. This could involve minor screening and <br />crushing. <br />6.0 RECLAMATION PLAN <br />The reclamation plan remains the same as that contained in the approved <br />DRMS and Special Review permits. The post-mining land use is a lake, <br />native vegetation and wildlife habitat. The residential structures and <br />outbuildings will remain. Areas that will be inundated with water will not be <br />vegetated. Slopes and upland areas will be revegetated. <br />The side slopes of the pit have already been graded to the final <br />configuration. As the remaining material is removed, topsoil will be spread <br />on areas that will no longer be disturbed by excavation and hauling <br />activity. There is sufficient topsoil material stockpiled on the property to <br />Banks and Gesso, LLC Page 4 of 5 <br />November 5, 2010
