I 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. Hence, new ponds are created as digging progresses. Since 174 - 250 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. 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. Within two years of completion of each phase the bottom of the excavation will be graded and returned to agricultural production. The slopes will be planted in annual grasses to control erosion. 4 . Mine Waste: Fine silt and clayey material wasted in the washing and screening activities comprise approximately 17%-25e of the total product or approximately 150 tons per day. Fines generated are settled out in the recycle pond. A coagulant and a flocculant are used in the recycle stream which greatly enhances the capability of the recycle pond to effectively settle-out these fines . D. Size 1 .

Water Requirements Water for the plant is recycled. Make-up water is provided by an existing well that pumps at a rate of approximately 500 GPM. There will be no changes in water requirements as a result of this application. No watersheds will be disturbed. I
