C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Stabilized construction Entrances will be established at the Clark Road access. All sediment and erosion control
structures will be established before any land disturbance occurs. Mining will begin in the "Initial Mining Area"
shown on the map. Soil and stone from this area will be used to construct the haul road, plant site, settling ponds,
visual barrier berm, and other necessary site structures.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine
excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine maps) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
See " Sediment and Erosion Control Plan" for specific plans. All runoff from any disturbed areas is controlled
by basins and diversions shown on the " Sediment and Erosion Control Plan". The construction sequence is
detailed on the "Sediment and Erosion Control Plan"
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ❑X No ❑. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
Some of the crushed stone will be washed in the processing plant. All wash water will be retained in a
" closed loop" system using the two settling ponds shown on the site plan. There will be no discharge
of this water. No chemicals will be used in this process.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes ® No ❑. Ifyes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).

in gallons per day: 500,000 . Locate all existing wells on the mine map(s) that lie within
500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made,
including any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate
whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
Mine dewatering will have no impact on neighboring wells due to the nature of the rock formation and the distance
to neighboring wells. Mine Location is not served by public water. A detail ground water study has been completed
by Chris Reinhardt. Copy of the Ground Water study is included.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from the
Stormwater Program. In addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of
Water Resources, Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000
gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000
gallons per day.
Application will be made with the Division of Water Quality for NPDES General Permit.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes ❑g No ❑.
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the
Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
Application will be made with the Divison of Air Quality for a permit once the crushing plant is designed.
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Periodic spray- down with water as necessary.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer

map(s).
A 50' undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary. In
addition, a 50' unexcavated buffer will be established between the undisturbed buffer and any excavation. Berms
and access roads may be located within the unexcavated buffer. Refer to plans.
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).

7. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling
house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation. Locate all such
structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation.
