i 9 . During the excavation, the topsoil must be set aside. Upon completion of an excavation, the topsoil shall be replaced, and the site leveled in conformance with the Rehabilitation Plan. A soil report will indicate a top soil management plan. 10 . Operations shall be in accordance with instructions from the Agricultural Commissioner to control the spread of noxious weeds . Applicant is familiar with Agricultural Commissioner' s requirements and will comply. 11 . The excavation must not cause health or sanitary hazards and shall not create conditions which will cause the breeding or increase of mosquitos, rodents or other pests . h.

Applicant is familiar with the means to minimize noise, vibration, dust and unsightliness. 13 . Fencing 4 feet in height consisting of not less than 3 strands of barbed wire shall be placed around the excavation area. Fencing requirements will comply. 14 . The reclamation of each phase shall be completed, in conformance with the reclamation plan, within 2 years of completion of the extraction portion of that phase. the contour created b In this excavation, h Y the excavation will be the final contour required in the reclamation plan. Cuts will not create interim slopes that need backfilling during reclamation. The final contour will be created as the excavation progresses . Also, land that will not be under excavation will remain under agricultural cultivation. No earth moving will be required. At the completion the last phase (phase IV) the additional requirement will be the removal of the equipment and structures . As a phase is excavated to the lowest elevation, the fine sands and clay that are washed out of the raw material flow into the recycle pond which was created from the prior digging (Panel A) . Hence, new ponds are created as digging progresses (Panel B) . since 17% - 25% of raw material is fine sands and clay, this material will partially fill the bottom of the excavation, creating the topsoil that will fill the bottom of excavation (Panel C) . Since the hole will average 150 ft, there will be approximately 20 - 50 ft. of fine sands and clay on the bottom, leaving the final depth at approximately 100 - 130 ft. deep (Panel D) .
