Summit Brick and Tile Company Fox No 1 Clay Pit <br />M-1977-219 - Adequacy Response #3 Page 2 <br />55.3 The Applicant states all non -owned structures are located and the distance to these <br />structures are measured and recorded. The Applicant also states the closest non -owned structure <br />is 1,400 feet from the blast area. Please provide a map and list of all dwellings and the distance <br />to the dwelling within one-half mile of the blasting areas. <br />The reference to the 1400 feet was from the area were <br />blasting last took place. Due to the varied locations <br />where blasting could potentially take place on the <br />mine over its life, is difficult to just measure from <br />a "blasting area" to a closest house at this time. I <br />prepared a map using the permit boundary as the <br />closest point to off site dwellings and then drew a <br />one-half mile setback line around the permit line. I <br />used the GOOGLE Earth and the Pueblo County Assessor's <br />records to determine if there were any structures in <br />this buffer zone. From this I found that either on <br />the permit area or surrounding it there are 16 houses. <br />The attached map shows the location of all structures <br />within one-half mile of the permit area and a list of <br />the owners of said structures. This list differs from <br />the Structures list is Exhibit S since it includes all <br />houses within 2640 feet of the mine. Due to the sheer <br />size of this mine the most reasonable map scale that I <br />could produce was 111=12831. This list and map may <br />change over the life of the mine because more homes <br />may be built or other may be removed. As noted in the <br />blasting plan it will be necessary to do a resurvey <br />for new structures each time blasting moves from one <br />mining area to the next. In some cases the homes may <br />not be within a half mile of where blasting will take <br />place, but this list will serves as a basis for <br />determining what structure surveys will be needed when <br />it is time to implement the Pre -Blasting Survey Plan <br />for any mining Area <br />55.4 The typical sandstone and clay thickness details within the Blasting Plan are in conflict <br />with details within the Mining Plan, Please revise the sandstone and clay thicknesses to match <br />the information in the Mining Plan_ <br />
