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.
Silt fence and perimeter berm will be established prior to land disturbance. All
runoff from any disturbed area will be held within excavation.
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 erasion control for mine excavatfon(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 map(s)and
provide typical cross-sec ions/construction details of each measure.Engineering designs and calculations are required
to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
The mining pit itself serves as the primary sediment and erosion control feature.
Silt fence and perimeter berm will prevent any sediment from leaving the
disturbed area. All stormwater runoff will be held within the pit, and pumped
through Dewatering Basin only when water is clear from sediment.
3. A)Will the operation involve washing the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling?
DYES RNO
If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
B)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters
of the State?
®YES INO
If yes,briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points(along with their method of
stabilization)on the mine map(s).

map(s)that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area.Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
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.
The shallow depth of the excavation and distance wells will prevent any impact
to neighboring wells
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
