The pit was originally <br /> permitted for 35 acres of disturbed area inl978. Delta County is asking for the disturbed area to <br /> be increased to 80 acres for the following reasons. <br /> • Ellison Pit has the largest variety of processed materials with 23 different road <br /> materials stock piled. This requires a large area to store the materials for use on <br /> different projects throughout the county. <br /> • The crusher and conveyors require quite a large area to stack and sort the <br /> materials. <br /> • The Ellison Pit also is permitted for our Asphalt Plant to supply asphalt for all <br /> three road and bridge districts so the materials to supply the plant are stock piled <br /> in the permitted area of the pit. <br /> • Since the gravel is on top of a small mesa with fingers it is difficult to mine and <br /> reclaim pit areas without having to move materials several times. <br /> Delta County is still committed to stay compliant with the mining regulations and reclamation of <br /> the pit in the future. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact me. <br /> OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ENGINEER <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
