County, using approved chemical methods of control and standard acceptable methods of <br /> application of such chemicals or tillage, if appropriate. <br /> The site will be mined to an estimated depth of 40 feet, with the bottom of the pit staying <br /> a minimum of 2 feet above the elevation of the ground water on the site so that there will <br /> not be any ground water exposed and also so that the recommended reseeding plant types <br /> will thrive. <br /> The mining operation will use conventional construction/mining equipment such as front- <br /> end loaders, dozers, trucks and track hoes. It is anticipated that a vertical or near vertical <br /> face will be created and worked. At an offset distance from the boundary sufficient to <br /> match the depth of the pit, the sides will then be mined on the 2:1 grade (or flatter)to <br /> create the final exterior slopes as part of the mining process. For example, if the pit is 20 <br /> feet deep when working near an exterior boundary, at a distance of 40 feet from said <br /> boundary the process of mining a complete vertical face will be discontinued and the 2:1 <br /> slope will be created by mining the material at that slope. If the pit is 40 feet deep, then <br /> the offset distance will be 80 feet. On site processing is restricted by the terms of the <br /> current Conditional Use Permit granted by Conejos County(Conejos County Resolution <br /> No. C-01-10). Alamosa County may apply for a change in this restriction so that on site <br /> processing can occur to allow for crushing in the future. Until the proper permit has been <br /> obtained from Conejos County, there will be no onsite processing. It is understood by <br /> Alamosa County that any onsite processing will need to meet the requirements of the <br /> State of Colorado for clean air and water and that any required permits will need to be <br /> obtained. It is intended that this application cover onsite processing to include both <br /> crushing. It is anticipated that this site will be mined using dozers, track hoes, loaders and <br /> trucks. Alamosa County is applying to Conejos County for an expanded conditional use <br /> for the added ground that is the subject of this application. <br /> The existing road that was constructed along the south line of the SE'/ of Section 4 will <br /> remain as a road upon the completion of the mining operation. The state and adjoining <br /> land currently are not being grazed. Alamosa County will fence the western boundary <br /> within 6 months of approval of this permit to limit livestock access from adjoining <br /> property. <br /> There will be no generation of, nor consumption of, onsite water. The site will not <br /> discharge any water nor will it impact any water rights as per applicable Colorado water <br /> law. <br /> The material removed from this site (sand and gravel)will be used by Alamosa County <br /> for fill, road base and as a source for asphalt aggregate. It is not anticipated that any other <br /> incidental products will be generated. <br />
