Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> Response: The costs for removing all structures have been considered in the Exhibit L <br /> calculations. The proposed locations for all structures have been included on the Exhibit C <br /> or L maps; however, should structures need to be moved or additional structures be <br /> necessary, Transit Mix commits to preparing a Technical Revision and submitting it to the <br /> Division. <br /> 48) The Appendix B referenced in the Pre-Blast Survey Plan is missing. According to the <br /> application, Appendix B should include a sample pre-blast survey condition inspection <br /> form and water well survey form. Please submit Appendix B. <br /> Response: The Pre-Blast Survey Plan has been updated to include Appendix B. <br /> 49) In the Introduction section of both the Pre-Blast Survey Plan and the Blasting Plan, the <br /> Applicant states the proposed quarry will develop approximately 399 acres of the 1,432 <br /> acre parcel known as Hitch Rack Ranch. Although the proposed permit area is <br /> approximately 399 acres, the proposed affected area is 239.03 acres. Therefore, no more <br /> than 239.03 acres will be "developed" by the operation. Please correct the contradictory <br /> language. <br /> Response: The introduction sections to the Pre-Blast Survey Plan and the Blasting Plan <br /> have been updated to state the quarry will develop approximately 239 acres of the ranch <br /> property. <br /> EXHIBIT E <br /> 50) On page E-2, the Applicant states the category of"Mining Related Area" accounts for the <br /> area between the areas potentially affected by mining related activities and the affected <br /> lands boundary; which includes the area between the permit boundary and pit crest area. <br /> The Applicant further states that disturbance within this area is not planned, but it may be <br /> affected to construct water management features, a perimeter fence, two-track roads, etc. <br /> Please be advised the operation must keep all disturbances (including stormwater <br /> management structures, fencing, and roads) within the affected land boundary. A permit <br /> Amendment would need to be submitted in order to increase the affected area. <br /> Response: Transit Mix understands that all disturbances must remain within the affected <br /> land boundary and that an Amendment is required to change the affected land boundary. <br /> 51) If the operation intends to install fencing, please provide more details in Exhibit D <br /> including the fence type, height, approximate linear length of installation, and whether the <br /> fencing will be wildlife friendly as recommended by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. <br /> Additionally, please indicate on the Exhibit C mining plan maps the location(s) where <br /> fencing will be installed. Will all fencing be removed for reclamation? If so, costs for fence <br /> removal and disposal off site must be included in Exhibit L. <br /> Response: Cattle guards and wire fencing will be installed along the Hitch Rack Ranch <br /> Quarry access road east of the Scale House as necessary to keep livestock out of active <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry(M-2017-049) <br /> Response to Comments—March 9,2018 <br />
