I <br /> 16. Total anticipated production <br /> Mineral commodities to be removed? 100,000 yd3/yr. Sand. <br /> Waste retained on-site None tons (cubic yards) <br /> Waste disposed off-site None tons (cubic yards) <br /> Maximum anticipated depth? A maximum of thirty feet of sand will be <br /> removed from one location on the property. Due to the fact <br /> that this is a sandbar skimming operation, the excavation will <br /> not extend below the mean high water mark of the river. The <br /> project is, therefore, not described in terms of actual depth <br /> in the sense that most mining and quarrying operations are <br /> described but instead as removal of accumulated sands above <br /> normal water levels. <br /> 17. Mining Method (check all applicable) <br /> Open Pit Gravel/Sand Pit Single Bench Drill and Blast <br /> Hilltop Sidehill <br /> Borrow Pit Underground <br /> Rail Tailings Pond <br /> Truck to Processing Plant to Railroads <br /> X Other (specify) Sand bar skimming operation. <br /> Multiple Bench Dragline <br /> Shovel Clay Pit <br /> X Sand Bar Skimming Slurry Pump <br /> Waste Dump <br /> 18. If processing of mined materials is to be conducted at, or adjacent to, <br /> the site, describe briefly the nature of the processing and explain <br /> disposal method of tailings or waste from processing. <br /> Sands will be excavated using a tracked scraper and front end loader. The <br /> material will then be fed to a portable screening operation. The only <br /> water used in this process will be applied as necessary to insure adequate <br /> dust control. Screened reject will be in the form of organic material and <br /> occasional oversize rocks and gravel. This material will be stockpiled <br /> near the levee wall. Organic material will be destroyed on an annual <br /> basis as part of normal agricultural burning on the property. Other reject <br /> materials will be used to improve on site roads and drainage areas. <br />
