3. Material stockpiles could be temporary or produced and reduced on a daily basis and will be <br /> conveniently located adjacent to the active mine area as excavation activities proceed or on land next to <br /> the mine site owned by land owner. <br /> The stockpile material will be stored on the .62 acre site which is 500'to the east of the 8.14 site area. <br /> The processed material will be stored 207'x207'x12' high, stacked with a haul truck and loader with a 2 <br /> to 1 slope. <br /> 4. The 8.14 proposed permit area is mostly a rock outcropping with very little fines as shown in the picture. <br /> The fines have been used to help make benches to mine the solid rock. If too many fines are in the way <br /> they will be moved to the .62 acre site or stored for reclamation. <br /> (g) Dimensions of any existing or proposed roads that will be used for the mining operations. <br /> The existing private road/ramp accesses the owners property at the southeast side of the proposed permit <br /> area is 15 feet wide and has a good gravel surfaces. Total length up and into the operations area is <br /> approximately 150 feet. Silt fences and sediment retentions berms or ditches will be maintained alongside <br /> road and excavation area to reduce erosion and limit runoff from storm events. Besides the access <br /> road/ramp there are no other new or improved roads to be included as part of the permitted acreage. <br /> The road to the .62 acres storage site is approximately 500' East of the main 8.14 acre mining site along <br /> Moffat County Road 1.The access road is approximately 30 ft wide with a good gravel road covering a 12' <br /> pipe.The length of the access road off Moffat County Road 1 is 50'to the landowners fence and private <br /> land. <br /> (h) Water to be used in conjunction with the operations and the source. <br /> Water required, if any,would be for occasional watering of the haul road and ramp areas. It is estimated <br /> that 1000 to 2000 gallons of water per day would be necessary for watering haul roads and ramp areas <br /> depending on weather conditions and the length of haul road. The owner has sufficient available water <br /> rights to supply this minimal amount.The water for dust control will be from the Morgan Slater Ditch which <br /> is held by the Baxter Ranch with J and Glynda Sheehan as owners.The water will be used for dust control. <br /> (i) Ground water encountered and/or surface intercepted <br /> As stated in Site Description (c),this will be a dry pit operation with no effect on water rights, drainage or <br /> hydrology of the area. No surface will be intercepted disturbed or stored in the pit area. Silt fences and <br /> sediment retention berms or ditches will be maintained alongside roads and excavation areas to reduce <br /> erosion and limit runoff from storm events. <br /> (j) Compliance with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to existing water rights. <br /> See (i)about and Site Description (c). <br /> (k) Refuse and acid forming or toxic materials exposed handling and disposal. <br /> No refuse and acid forming or toxic materials will be involved in this operation. The operation will be a dry <br /> pit operation producing boulders, rock, sand,gravel, and soil materials with no chemicals required for <br /> processing and refuse will not be generated. Rock,Sand and gravel are basically inert materials. <br /> (1) Measures to minimize disturbance to the hydrological balance, prevent offsite drainage, and provide for a <br /> stable configuration of the reclaimed area consistent with the proposed future land use. <br /> The hydrologic balance issue has been addressed previously in Site Description (c), and items(i) and (j) <br /> above. A stable configuration will be accomplished by the 3:1 back slopping of the pit faces on the west and <br /> northwest sides of the pit area into the more sheer rock high-walls. <br />
