Annual Average Mining Quantities- 10 Acres/Year 166,667 CY Overburden/Year 111,333 CY Sand& Gravel/Year C. Minine-Plan 1. Operating Plan Excavation will commence within 18 months after obtaining a permit and will terminate with total reclamation within 11 years, dependent upon demand for materials. Excavation occurs approximately 180 days in a year. Weather conditions and market factors can alter this approximation. Excavation activity typically occurs between March—October each year. Excavation will be limited to a weekly schedule of Monday—Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except during periods of declared national, state, or county emergency or inclement weather. 2,3. Topsoil/Overburden Topsoil / Overburden is stripped, set aside temporarily, then replaced concurrent with excavation.. Excavation is by the open pit method commencing at the Southern end of Phase 1, moving in a Northerly direction,. Excavation depths average ±25'. Overburden ranges in depth from 0' to f15', with sand and gravel depths averaging from t7' to f10'. Equipment to be used at the project site consists of: ■ Scrapers/Dozers to remove overburden ■ Backhoe/Excavator to remove sand and gravel ■ Trucks to transport materials to the existing processing facility on the North side of the Mokelumne River. ■ Motor Grader and Scraper to level and contour site for final reclamation ■ Water Truck to spread water within project area for dust control
