be abandoned. Access for the industrial park located north and east of the pit area will be <br />provided using the new access. <br />Revised Mining plan <br />There is not much detail in the mining plan from the original 112 Mining Permit Application. <br />The major change will be the mining phases. As shown in Exhibit C, mining will occur in the <br />New Pit Area (area in orange) starting along the line that shows the existing mining face. This <br />mining face is shown in more detail on the attached mining plan figure (Map D). The adjacent <br />new pit area (approximately square area shown in lime green and located north of the present <br />mining area shown in orange) will be used as a stockpile area until enough areas has been mined <br />in the southern new pit area (Orange area) to allow stockpiling. <br />As shown in the mining plan figure (Map D), mining will occur along the western face of the <br />gravel deposit and move in a counter clock wise direction initially to the southeast and then <br />swing around and finish by mining the northern portion of the deposit. The area will be mined at <br />a 2:1 slope around the edges of the pit which is consistent with the surrounding conditions. It is <br />difficult to provide a mining time table since the amount of material removed is dependent on <br />uncertain economic conditions. We anticipate that there is 25 years of gravel reserves at the site. <br />Revised Reclamation Plan <br />There will be several changes to the reclamation plan based on the limited mining area resulting <br />from the land removed for the conservation easement. Reclamation will begin immediately in <br />the area shown in gray on Exhibit C. The landowner has requested that a pond be installed as <br />shown on the attached reclamation map-also located in the gray area on Exhibit C. The pond <br />was designed by the NRCS. Water rights for the proposed pond are included in this technical <br />revision. <br />Table 1: Reclamation Time Table (refer to Exhibit C for location) <br />Area to be Reclaimed Acreage Expected date to <br />Begin Completion Date <br />Gray Colored Area 17 2011 2013 <br />Teal Colored Area East <br />Side of Slate River 40 2011 2013 <br />New Pit Area Lime <br />Green 5 2014 2016 <br />New Pit Area Orange 18 2015 2036
