BOX 609 ALGONQUIN, ILLINOIS 60102-0609 Mining Plan for 1994 Hopefully the addendum to the original mining agree- ment will be approved at the city council meeting in March, 1994. If this happens, we will start the stripping operation as soon as the frost in the ground becomes manageable, which won ' t be long. Most of the planning has already been done so this will not cause any delay . The removal of the gas line is also critical . Northern Illinois Gas Company has most of their planning done and are awaiting the approval to proceed along with the $22 ,000 check to pay for this work. We will give them the approval to proceed and the • check immediately after we receive the approval from the city council. The stripping operation will begin in cell one (draw- ing attached) , and then continue into cell two. This has been the plan from the very beginning for many reasons , such as the location of the crushing plant , the need to build the reservoir and the location of the FAA building. Also, considering that three months. have disappeared al ready, this is very important to all concerned to get the crushing operation and sales going as quick as possible. Because the quantity of earth stripping is so large, we cannot pin down an exact time the crushing will actually start . The crushing will begin in cell one for 1994 and part of 1995 , and then continue into cell two. . The crush- . ing plant will be under construction very soon and we will be ready when the stripping is ready. Our guesstimate at ' • this time is to start crushing in September. or October. PROCESSORS OF ALL TYPES OF SAND AM GRAVEL PRODUCTS Soon after the initial stripping operation is under way, we will also start the stripping and construction of the soccer fields . The earth material needed for this area will be removed from cells ten and eleven. Here again, the quantity of earth needed to construct the soccer fields is very large, approximately 700, 000 cubic yards, so we cannot pin down an exact time this work will be completed. We under- stand there are time constraints on the construction of these fields , so we will expend a great effort to get this work done as soon as . possible. What is really needed is a mild winter so the stripping operation can continue through the winter months . The plan at this time is to start on the four north fields first because they require substantially less work than the south fields . Because this is the start-up stage, no reclamation work will be done in 1994 . • WMIrc Page Two - EXTENT OF OVERBURDEN REMOVAL 11 CEMETER 1 U Otto 5 9 • • Q 3 7 6 A.
