Document Description
The project consists of a surface sand mine that would excavate onsite alluvial (sand) materials and transport them to various offsite locations. The project would include one mining phase. No processing of materials would occur onsite as part of the project. The applicant expects the total production would be 750,000 cubic yards of material over ~5 years. This rate of extraction would result in a maximum annual production of 15-20,000 cubic yards annually. Final reclamation is to dryland grazing, and will be completed within a year following the completion of mining and is estimated for the end of 2013.
