crushed rock will be placed in the processing area. These stockpiles will be up to 30 feet tall. <br />Asphalt and concrete will also be sold from the pit. The crushed product stockpiles will allow <br />mining to cease for portions of the year but allow for sales throughout the year. All stockpiling of <br />construction products will take place in the processing area. <br />Highway trucks will haul sellable material to market from the mine site. Truck traffic will utilize <br />Highway 50. Truck traffic will proceed along Highway 50 both east and west, depending on the <br />job. A CDOT access permit has been acquired by the permittee, and access improvements will <br />be made as required.

While internal haul roads <br />will be reclaimed, the access road will be left for permanent access. See Maps C -2 and F. <br />The sand and gravel deposits on this property are believed to be up to 55 feet deep, but Gunnison <br />Valley Properties, LLC only plans on mining to a depth of about 49 feet to supply local sand and <br />gravel needs. Water is expected to be encountered at a depth of approximately five feet. An <br />Augmentation Plan has been submitted to the local water court to offset the consumptive use of <br />this operation. Gunnison Valley Properties, LLC commits to not exposing this water until the <br />Augmentation Plan is approved. All Augmentation Plan information can be found in Appendix <br />1. <br />Four berms will exist during the life of the Tomichi Pit.

These <br />berms are: the Highway berm (permanent), the Signal Peak berm (permanent), the Stage 2 berm <br />(temporary), and the Processing berm (temporary). They can all be seen on Map C -213. <br />2.
