Shaw Pit Expansion

Shaw Pit Expansion

Hat Creek Construction propose to continue operating under the original conditions outlined in the Use Permit/Reclamation Plan 96-52 on APN 010-420-170. The proposed project is a request to amend Use Permit/Reclamation Plan 96-52 to include: 1) an approximately 7-acre expansion, 2) a revised removal volume, and 3) extension of end date. The project area reflects an expansion of approximately 7 acres of the existing operational mine. The current active and proposed clarified boundary will include approximately 37 total acres of mine footprint. No other changes to site operations will occur. Implementation of the proposed project would extend onsite mining activities through 2050 at a rate governed by market demand and depth of rock fields. Surface mining procedures will continue in areas already under the current use permit and will be the same in the areas proposed in this expansion. The historic mining plan included two operating areas: Site A to the south and Site B to the north. The proposed mine expansion would include an additional area northeast of Site B. There will be no additional mining in the area of Site A. Under the current plan, the mine was to yield approximately 200,000 cubic yards of crushed material over the life of the plan which was to be the year 2036. With this expansion, and extension of an additional 14 years, the yield will increase to an additional 588,000 cubic yards and the termination date will be the year 2050.
