Sri <br /> Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> The Proposed Quarry Development <br /> Resource and Geology <br /> The Colorado front-range starkly divides the sedimentary units underlying the plains from the <br /> igneous and metamorphic rock forming the Rocky Mountains. In the vicinity of the proposed <br /> Quarry, this change in rock type lies approximately one to one and one-half(1 to 1-1/2) miles west <br /> of Colorado State Highway 115. Crushed rock quality requirements restrict viable sources of <br /> aggregate to the igneous and metamorphic rock located in the foothills and mountains. Limited <br /> sources of alluvial gravels have historically been used as a source of aggregate; however, these <br /> types of gravel deposits are nearly depleted. Alternative rock sources are needed to meet the <br /> current and future demands of the County and Colorado Springs. <br /> Igneous and metamorphosed granite and diabase deposits in Section 16 of the Ranch property <br /> will be developed as the source for construction aggregate. Sandstone and other sedimentary <br /> units on the eastern edge of Section 16 and the Ranch are not of sufficient quality for use as <br /> construction aggregate and will remain undisturbed by the proposed project. <br /> Exploration drilling conducted on the site has confirmed the continuity and quality of the granite <br /> and diabase stone resource. Over its projected lifetime, the proposed Quarry will provide <br /> approximately 60 million tons of resource for processing into commercial aggregate products. <br /> The Operation <br /> The Quarry site, located in the Rocky Mountain foothills, comprises relatively steep ridges and <br /> valleys ranging in elevation from 7,720 ft. to 6,810 ft., formed in the underlying Precambrian <br /> granitic rock. Little Turkey Creek crosses the Ranch from northwest to southeast. <br /> When it has achieved full capacity, the proposed Quarry will produce an average of 1.5 million <br /> tons of granite aggregate annually. The operation has an expected life of approximately 40 years. <br /> Operating activity will be conducted throughout the year, six days per week, from Monday through <br /> Saturday, during the hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. <br /> Development of the Quarry will proceed gradually and incrementally in six distinct phases, with <br /> reclamation accomplished contemporaneously with mining as portions of the Quarry are <br /> completed. Affected areas will be sequenced as the Quarry is developed to limit the extent of the <br /> affected lands. This contemporaneous reclamation for wildlife habitat and sequenced <br /> disturbances limits the total affected area to less than 165 acres at any given time in the life of <br /> the Quarry, further taking into account the safety and protection of wildlife habitat and biodiversity <br /> at the proposed site. <br /> A newly constructed, 2.9-mile private road from Colorado State Highway 115 westward across <br /> the lower portions of the Ranch and then northward to the operation will provide access to the <br /> Quarry. A small office and weigh scale will be located along the access road where the road turns <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> October 3, 2017 ix <br />
