The mining schedule is planned to minimize disturbance by reclaiming areas as additional <br />mining is undertaken. This table is based on a reasonable projection of average production rates. <br />The table shows that mining and reclamation will occur approximately 20 years and the total <br />gravel mined will be approximately 1,800,000 tons. This is based on computer grids generated <br />from the topography and the available exploration data. <br />3. Mine Facilities and Operation <br />The facilities on site will be the crushing/screening plant, portable asphalt plant, the washing <br />equipment, portable office trailer, and a truck scale. The crusher / screen and wash plant will be <br />mobile and will be moved to and from this site each year. The asphalt plant will be moved to and <br />from the site as needed for local paving jobs. Waste asphalt will be stored next to the asphalt <br />plant and will be recycled into the plant as needed. All asphalt waste will be removed from the <br />site when the asphalt plant is removed. The equipment will be located in Mining Area 1 (see <br />map C-2). Fuel for the operation will come from the fuel tank associated with the individual <br />crushers, wash plant and asphalt plant. During times that a plant is not located on site, fuel will <br />be provided a fuel tank that has adequate secondary containment. The fuel tank will also be <br />located within Mining Area 1. <br />Water will be used to control dust on the haul roads and also on the crushing, screening and <br />washing operations. All water used at the site will be stored in the wash ponds. A water right for <br />3 million gallons per year is included in Exhibit G. The wash plant will be brought to the site <br />periodically to wash material and create stockpiles. Water consumption calculations are shown in <br />Appendix B. <br />Maintenance vehicles will visit the site regularly to provide oil, grease, and perform other minor <br />maintenance on vehicles and equipment. Any major repair work required will be performed off <br />site or during normal operating hours. The truck scale of approximately 20' x 70' size is also <br />installed within the permit boundary. See Map C-2 for the location of the truck scales. <br />Craig Ranch Pit, March 2011 D-3
