area to be approximately twenty years, with the final acreage restored within one year following the final year of processing. Mining and restoration will take place in 10 acre increments (phase 1 is slightly over 10 acres and phase 2 is slightly under). After the first 10 acres have been mined, we will begin processing on the adjacent 10 acres while restoring the previous acreage mined (as indicated on contour map). Our crushing operation will move across the property as staging occurs. The crushing will be accomplished with a portable crusher that will operate approximately 20 to 35 working days per year. This could vary by the amount of work in the area and is an average over the next five (5) years. Please refer to the attached diagram for the layout of our aggregate processing equipment. We are further requesting permission to operate our mining process 24 hours a day. Minimal maintenance will be done on site. There are no buildings, lighting or easements existing or proposed. There will be little to no runoff from the operations of the aggregate processing. Included in this packet is a copy of our NPDES permit for the regulation of storm water. If necessary, surface water is managed using detention basins along with berms and silt fencing to capture sediment prior to discharge from the property. Because our intentions are to prevent runoff as described by our NPDES permit, we did not research the estimated runoff of the area based on 10 and 100 year storm events. We will not be using water to process any of the mined material, therefore there will be no disposal or re-use of any water. The water table is estimated at 943' to 945'. A well does exist on parcel #75-103-4201 (#500316). A map delineating wetlands has been included. Bauerly Bros., Inc. will not operate within 100 feet of the indicated wetland areas. This distance should aid in our efforts to avoid creating "peaks" around the wetlands and protecting the integrity of the wetlands. Dust will be controlled by watering of haul roads and transfer areas. Stockpiles will be strategically placed around the crushing operations to help reduce the transfer of noise. Our intentions will be to build a berm along the west end of the north property line (225th Street) in an effort to screen the site. However, this will not be accomplished until we are actually mining in phase 2 where the berms will physically be. Safety fencing will be placed in areas where slopes exceed 1:1.5. Warning signs will also be placed near these perimeters. There will be no use of explosives. We will be mining to an overall depth no less than approximately 950 to 947'.
