A water supply well was constructed in 1998 to supply water for the <br /> offices and quality control lab associated with the operations. The <br /> well is 178 feet deep and is finished in sand. A copy of the well log is <br /> included as Exhibit 2. Wastewater is contained in a holding tank, <br /> ' which is pumped and transported to final disposal by a State certified <br /> and licensed contractor. <br /> ' The site access is from 221st Ave. An entrance road to the plant is <br /> aligned with a new entrance road to the southern portion of the site. <br /> ' Areas to be mined are cleared and grubbed and then stripped as <br /> needed. Topsoil is stockpiled on site. Overburden is stockpiled or <br /> used as backfill to reclaim completed portions of the mine. Sand and <br /> ' gravel will be excavated from the active mining area and brought to <br /> the processing area. <br /> 1 The site will be mined in phases. The progression of mining is <br /> illustrated on Sheet 2 of 3, Phasing Plan. Restoration will begin as <br /> ' phases of mining are completed. <br /> No explosives will be used at the site. <br /> 111110 <br /> 9.) Drainage, Erosion Control, Sedimentation, Dust, Access Control and <br /> ' Security: <br /> Surface water drainage is directed to a low area within the excavation. <br /> ' Collected surface water infiltrates into the underlying soils and/or <br /> evaporates. Surface water drainage will not be directed off site. <br /> Sedimentation may occur in the temporary ponding areas. These <br /> ' ponds can readily be cleaned out by on-site equipment. <br /> ' Erosion of finished slopes is minimized by backfilling to a minimum <br /> slope of 4:1 and seeding and mulching. The berm has been <br /> constructed to a minimum of 3:1 slopes and seeded and mulched. <br /> Dust control has been implemented by hard-surfacing 221st Ave. from <br /> the exit to US 169. The main entrance and exit roads to the plant <br /> ' area are also hard-surfaced. Conveyors are used within the site <br /> minimizing truck traffic on internal haul roads. Perimeter berms also <br /> limit dust movement from the site. <br /> ' Access control has been established by locking gates at the site <br /> entrances and exits. The entire site will be fenced. <br /> 12 <br />
