Currently, other than the 200 foot area, only a small portion of the site remains to be excavated in preparation for landfill construction. A haul road has been constructed within the zone to allow access of equipment and transfer of material between ERL's property and Tiller's operations to the north and south. 10)Estimate of Quantity of Material to be Mined: The estimated quantity of material to be removed from the amended mining area is approximately 750,000 cy.
