There will be no mining below the local water table.  Material processing will be done on-site using  portable crushing and screening equipment.  Processing will not exceed 50 TPH.  The expansion area will be mined in 5 phases over the anticipated 20-25 year operational life of the mine.  Reclamation will follow mining as each phase is completed.  Reclaimed areas will be restored to agricultural use or replanted with suitable tree species.
