removal of the rubblized material from the 60 foot by 60 foot by 40 foot 2015 mined <br />area, overburden will be removed from the area to be mined in 2017. Top soil would <br />have been removed from this area and used for reclamation in 2013. The 6,905 cubic <br />yards of in place overburden will produce 12,429 cubic yards or 11,200 ton of broken <br />material. 5,333 cubic yards of broken overburden will be placed in the 60 foot by 60 foot <br />by 40 foot 2016 mined area and the remaining 7096 cubic yards of broken overburden <br />will be temporarily stored in the area to the southeast of the northwesterly mining <br />advance (Map E8). <br />The area to be mined in the 2017 Phase 5 mining cycle would have been cleared of top <br />soil in 2013 and overburden would have been removed in 2016. The 2017 mining area <br />60 feet in width by 60 feet in length by 40 feet in depth will be drilled and blasted using <br />same procedures as previous mining operations and will produce approximately 8,600 <br />ton of rubblized oil shale which will be shipped off site for crushing and testing. As in the <br />2016 mining cycle approximately 1,000 cubic yards of minusl /2 inch material from the <br />offsite crushing operation will be returned to the mine site and blended with overburden. <br />After the rubblized material is hauled from the 60 foot by 60 foot by 40 foot, 2017 mined <br />area and prior to removing overburden from the area to be mined in 2018, top soil will <br />be removed from the remainder of the area to be mined in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and <br />transported to Reclamation Area #2 (Map D2) where it will be placed as vegetative <br />growth medium on a 20,250 square foot area in preparation for re- seeding. After <br />removal of top soil, the upslope storm water diversion structure will be extended to the <br />northwest and overburden from the area to be mined in 2018 will be removed. The <br />8,647 cubic yards of in place overburden will produce 15,565 cubic yards or 14,000 ton <br />of broken material. 5,333 cubic yards of broken overburden will be placed in the 60 foot <br />by 60 foot by 40 foot 2017 mined area and the remaining 10,232 cubic yards of <br />overburden will be temporarily stored in the area to the southeast of the northwesterly <br />mining advance (Map E9). <br />The area to be mined in the 2018 Phase 6 mining cycle would have been cleared of top <br />soil and overburden in 2017. The 2018 mining area 60 feet in width by 60 feet in length <br />by 40 feet in depth will be drilled and blasted using same procedures as previous mining <br />operations and will produce approximately 8,600 ton of rubblized oil shale which will be <br />shipped off site for crushing and testing. As in the 2017 mining cycle approximately <br />1,000 cubic yards of minusl /2 inch material from the offsite crushing operation will be <br />returned to the mine site and blended with overburden. After the rubblized material is <br />hauled from the 60 foot by 60 foot by 40 foot, 2018 mined area the upslope storm water <br />diversion structure will be extended to the northwest and overburden from the area to <br />be mined in 2019 will be removed. The 5,092 cubic yards of in place overburden will <br />produce 9,167 cubic yards or 8,250 ton of broken material. 5,333 cubic yards of broken <br />overburden will be placed in the 60 foot by 60 foot by 40 foot 2017 mined area and the <br />5 <br />
