feet below the existing ground surface, based on data from borings in the proposed quarry area. Once the aggregate has been removed from the 100- to 200-foot-wide excavation strip, the overburden from the adjacent excavation strip would be removed and placed in the trench from the previous excavation. This process would continue across the parcel until the completion of each phase. The variable depth (or thickness) of the overburden and aggregate material would make final placement of the excavated overburden difficult during active resource excavation. For this reason, the applicant proposes to delay final contouring and rehabilitation until the completion of each phase; however, temporary resoiling and revegetation will be conducted following resource extraction from each strip (up to 5.5 acres each). When the first phase has been completed, final contouring of the land surface would occur and extraction operations for the second phase would begin. Once final contouring has been completed, slopes would be seeded with native grasses and the level areas would be planted to cereal grasses and/or various row crops, and/or orchards. Quarry operation would occur on a seasonal basis, and would not operate during inclement weather or when demand for products is minimal, which is usually winter months. 2.5.2 Processing Facility The processing facility is comprised of equipment used for production of three major products; washed aggregate, crushed aggregate, and asphalt paving material.
