Exhibit C <br /> (e) Major Components of the mining operation. <br /> The haul road through the permitted site and the area of borrow <br /> excavation are the only components of the mining operation. <br /> Once the topsoil has been salvaged and the haul road <br /> constructed, excavation/hauling operations will begin. The <br /> borrow material will be excavated using large backhoes/loaders <br /> and placed directly into truck-trailer hauling units for <br /> transporting to the job site on WCR 49 immediately next to the <br /> borrow site <br /> Excavation of the borrow materials will proceed in a west to <br /> east direction. The side slopes of the final excavation are to be <br /> at a maximum gradient of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical). As the <br /> borrow material is being removed, the excavation in the area of <br /> the final slopes will be done at this 3:1 gradient. <br /> (f) Dimensions of land disturbance. <br /> The area of land disturbance is rectangular in configuration. <br /> The dimensions of the disturbed area are 500 feet x 500 feet, <br /> this includes the area of the topsoil berm at the top of the <br /> excavation slopes. These dimensions result in an area of 5.80 <br /> acres. <br /> (g) Haul road dimensions. <br /> A haul road will be constructed to connect existing property <br /> roads to the excavation area. This new road will be 30 feet wide <br /> and 1 ,500 feet long. <br /> (h) Water use. <br /> The only water to be used in conjunction with the borrow site <br /> operation, will be water applied to the on-site roads for dust <br /> control. Approximately 8,000 gallons of water per day will be <br /> used for dust control. The source of this supply will be the same <br /> as the project's water source along Weld County Road 49 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
