GCC reports it currently employs approximately 140 employees over a series of shifts and that it hopes to expand to accommodate 165 employees. Currently, the average number of employees on site at any one time (e.g. during shift overlaps) is approximately 75, which GCC hopes to increase to 87 over time. Mining operations and hauling occur 24 hours/day with lower levels of activity at night and on weekends. For additional project information as summarized by the applicant, please reference the applicant's narrative dated January 29, 2016 (Attachment 2) and site plan dated July 29, 2015 (Attachment 3).

For this project, offsite water issues have also been raised — particularly whether the project has the potential to contaminate surface or ground waters. Offsite water issues are addressed in other sections of the report including drainage and compatibility. Project No. 2012-0089 PC 4852-5627-2942, v. 3 Page 5 of 32 (DM, VS, DP)
