Material Processing and Associated Facilities <br />Material processing will be re- located from the existing Fountain Pit location to the amendment <br />area. Due to the relatively small size, portable processing equipment will be used during mining <br />of the amendment area. The processing facility, potentially consisting of conveyors, screens, <br />washers, and crushers, will be placed in the bottom of the amendment area mine pit as soon as <br />possible. a portable mine office and scale will also be located in the amendment area. The <br />below grade operation of the processing facility will help minimize visual, noise, and dust <br />impacts from the facility. Pit run material will be hauled to the processing plant and most raw <br />material and product stockpiles will also remain below grade. An employee /storage trailer, <br />fueling/lubricating station, and generators will also be located on -site as needed. <br />Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use <br />Construction materials, primarily sand and gravel, are the commodities to be mined from the <br />amendment area. No significant secondary commodities are anticipated. The deposits in the <br />proposed amendment area are favored for extraction and use as paving, road base, and other <br />construction materials. <br />Use of Explosives <br />Since the material is unconsolidated alluvium, no explosives or blasting is required. <br />Fountain Pit M- 1982 -155 <br />DRMS 112 Permit Amendment <br />Revised in Response to Adequacy Review Comments Page 10 <br />
