A detailed list of such equipment can be provide <br /> necessary. <br /> 6. Phasing of the Operation. <br /> Generally, the operation can be divided into five phases: (I) <br /> drilling and shooting, (2) loading, (3) transporting, (4) crushing, and <br /> (5) stacking. <br /> The phases are related in that they track the processing of the <br /> stone from the point of actual, extraction to the final stockpile from which <br /> = it is sold. <br /> 7. Practices to Com.1 with Performance Standards. <br /> (a) DIRECT ILLUMINATION. <br /> The operations are confined to daylight hours and no <br /> illumination is necessary. <br /> (b) SOUND LEVELS. <br /> Because of the centralized location of the plant and <br /> pit on the property tract, and because of the earth berms and heavy natural <br /> foliage surrounding. most of the operations, we anticipate no problems in <br /> meeting the sound limitations as set forth in the ordinance. <br /> As shown on the site plan, the pit and plant are a minimum of <br /> 200 feet from the nearest property boundary, and substantially further than <br /> that from the nearest residential, commercial, or industrial building not <br /> on quarry property. We have consulted an expert in this field who has <br /> advised us that we are currently meeting and can continue to meet this <br /> requirement. <br />
