Site Operations <br />It is anticipated that gravel extraction and material processing activities will <br />commence upon completion of the entire permitting process, which is anticipated <br />sometime in early July 2008. Access gate and initial road grading activities may <br />commence as soon as the COOT access permit is approved. <br />Anticipated hours of operation for process activities at the site would be M -F <br />during daylight hours or at the direction of a specific public works Site/Project Engineer <br />if extended hours or weekend production is necessary. Mining or reclamation work may <br />be done on weekends as well. All processing equipment for crushing and/or asphalt <br />production for this project will be mobile and self contained equipment. Products to be <br />extracted and processed by the proposed operation include: crushed rock for base grade, <br />general backfill and material for asphalt additives. Asphalt production equipment will be <br />part of some types of activities at the site. <br />At times an average daily workforce of 1-4 personnel may be onsite to excavate <br />material and operate the various types of processing equipment. The site may also be idle <br />at time and have on activity. Sanitary facilities will be available onsite. A mobile truck <br />scale and a temporary fuel storage facility may be part of an equipment mobilization to <br />the site and both would be located in the prepared areas within the equipment operations <br />area for that mobilization to the site (set-up areas will change as pond water surface <br />expands). All processing equipment for sand and gravel and asphalt production has or <br />will have current air permits as required by the State of Colorado. These permits apply to <br />each equipment type to be moved onto and operated at the site. <br />The site is within the Craig/Moffat County Fire Protection /EMS District. <br />Ali contractor site equipment and vehicles will be equipped with appropriate fire <br />extinguishers and first aid. Cell telephones and contractor supplied radios (in all vehicles) <br />will be available at all times. The site will operate under both OSHA and MSHA Federal <br />Safety Standards. <br />(b) Earthmoving; <br />All topsoil material will be stripped and stockpiled using bulldozers, <br />motor graders, tracked excavators and front-end loaders. All mined materials will <br />be excavated and handled onsite using, track excavators, dragline, dozers, loaders <br />and conveyors to feed the crusher/screening equipment spread and to temporarily <br />stockpile processed materials. Front-end loaders will be used for stockpiling, <br />loading process equipments and haul trucks. <br />WestWater Engineering APPENDIX C - 6 July 2012 <br />
