Extraction of the resource will be accomplished with front -end loaders, dozers, track <br />excavators, or any surface mining type of equipment that is economically feasible for <br />this site. <br />Earthen berms will be constructed where needed to keep the stormwater from running <br />uncontrolled, preventing sedimentation in the historical water drainages. Water <br />diversions and impoundments will be done in a way to prevent erosion and <br />sedimentation. This will be part of the stormwater management plan. During all <br />phases, Best Management Practices must and will be followed. <br />Mining and construction equipment designed for open pit mining will be used for all the <br />earth moving and extraction of materials. Mining excavation will move northeast in the <br />pit area. The mining will be done in such a manner as to minimize any high walls will <br />be approximately 25 feet high or less. The pit highwalls will be left at a 1/2 H: 1V or <br />flatter if the terrain permits. <br />The timetables are dependent upon market conditions. The mining timetable is as <br />follows: <br />Estimated life of the pit is another 7 to 10 years which will be between <br />2018 —2021. <br />ALL DATES ARE DEPENDENT ON MARKET DEMAND. <br />(g) Ripraps along with structural fill (crushed rock) are the main (primary) <br />commodities to be mined. There are no other commodities to be mined only <br />construction aggregates. <br />(h) Products form this mine site will be used for construction materials as <br />defined by the DMG, as follows: "Construction Materials" means rock, <br />clay, silt, sand, gravel, limestone, dimension stone, marble or shale extracted <br />for use in the production of non - metallic construction products. <br />(i) Explosives will be used during mining or reclamation. This site has been <br />mined in this fashion from the beginning and no adverse affects. Blasting is <br />suitable for this rock outcrop. <br />
