BUCKLEN EQUIPMENT CO BUCKLEN EQUIPMENT CO PIT - ID# M- 1982 -131 I Technical Revision Settling Ponds 0.22 acres Product Stockpiles & Processing Plant 11.4 acres Minor Disturbance Regraded for Planting Reseeded and Vegetated TOTAL DISTURBED AREA 33.16 ACRES The approximate timetable for the mining amendment will be totally market dependent. There are approximately 2,400,000 tons of material on -site. The average yearly sales for the operation will range between 125,000 to 250,000 tons per year. Based on these estimates, the following schedule is estimated: Description Mining Period Reclamation Period PHASE 1 1993 -1998 1995 -2000 PHASE 2 1998 -2013 2018 2000 2015 2020 One lake will be created by the mining operation. This lake will have a surface area of approximately 244 19 acres. The Sequence of mining activities to be done is as follows: 14.62 acres 1.12 acres 1. A dewatering ditch will be constructed around the perimeter of the phase. 2. A dewatering pump will be installed and groundwater will be discharged to the settling ponds on the north side of the pit. 3. Any topsoil or overburden encountered will be stripped and the amount needed for reclamation will be stockpiled. Stockpiles that remain in place for more than a year will be temporarily seeded for erosion and dust control. Drainage and sediment control BMP's will be used to preserve topsoil stockpiles. 4. Sand and gravel will be extracted and transported to the plant for stockpiling. 5. Material may be processed (or not) and will be trucked from the property to end users. The overall mining plan calls for completion in approximately 20 years, Phase 1 taking five years to complete and Phase 2 taking 15 years to complete. Each phase will be divided into stages consisting of approximately three acres. Mining and reclamation of each stage will be done concurrently. Market demand will dictate actual timing for each phase. Applegate Group, Inc.
