-Tq - 03 M - 100 Technical Revision Mining Plan Mining will be done during the operating months, as weather permits, between April and November for about 5-10 yrs in order to mine entire property. The affected area is about 9 acres. The pit area is about 518 feet on the west end of the pit, about 433 feet on the north end of the pit, 350 feet on the east end of the pit and 360 on the south end of the pit to the depth of 80 feet, benched with a high wall 20 foot and 25 foot width of bench. Each bench will 1 to 1 slope on top bench and all other benches to be 1/2 to 1 slope to depth of 80 feet. If static of water level is hit before we achieve 80 foot depth, mining will stop. Reclamation will start by back filling previous bench before the start of the next bench due to the size of pit on property. Reclamation will be done concurrently with mining of the pit. The pit will be back filled with mixture of sand and gravel to bring stability to the reclamation process. When reclamation is finished it will be at a 1 to 3 slope or flatter. Processing equipment and settling ponds will be at the east end of the pit. Refer to map as to where waste sand and gravel for reclamation will be stock piled, and processing plant, settling ponds, sale gravel, stock piles will be, office, fuel tank tool shed will be placed. Settling ponds will be roughly 150' x 80' x 10' on east end of the property. The water in settling ponds will be re- circulated for the wash plant use. No water will be released off the property and no chemicals will be used. A storm water berm will be constructed on the north boundary of the property as required. The area for saleable sand and gravel will also be located on the eastern part of the permitted property. The approximate size of the area will be 150' wide, 180' long, refer to map.
