Depth of the topsoil ranges from 1 -12 inches. <br />1 -12 inches of topsoil will be removed and segregated. This stockpile will be kept <br />safe from damage and contamination from mining activities by isolating it away <br />from these activities. After the topsoil is relocated, the dozer and loader will <br />commence to excavate material (pit run). The loader will dump the pit run into the <br />hopper that feeds the crusher or screen, dumping onto the flat belt(s) that dump(s) <br />into trucks or onto a stacking conveyor that dumps the processed material on to <br />the processed material stockpile. <br />b. Earthmoving — earth moving will commence at the northwest portion of this pit <br />moving south and east. <br />c. Water diversions & impoundments — water diversions and impoundments will be <br />constructed only to prevent storm water runoff The size of the diversion/berm <br />will be approximately 1- 1 '/z feet in height, a typical motor grader moldboard's <br />height. The location of the diversion/berm will be approximately 10 feet inside <br />the permit boundary where existing slopes allow, further inside if necessary. No <br />large impoundments will be utilized. Captured water will be allowed to evaporate <br />naturally. <br />d. Size of area to be worked at any one time — app. 10 acres <br />e. App. time table describing the mining operation — if everything goes as planned, <br />we'll commence earthmoving if the summer of 2012 followed shortly thereafter <br />with material processing. We'll reclaim excavated sites when practical as <br />excavation to adjoining areas occurs using these materials to reclaim previously <br />excavated areas. <br />. Estimated time for each stage — the entire excavation of the site should take <br />app. 10 years. There will be periods when this pit is idle but still active. <br />
