Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> • Plant growth medium placement which includes overburden/fines and topsoil, and <br /> revegetation. <br /> Mining will begin on the east side of the Quarry area and will progress north and west to establish <br /> the plant/facilities area during Phase I. During Phase II, mining will progress to the southeast until <br /> establishing the final eastern southeast highwalls as shown in Figure C-5. During Phase III, <br /> mining will progress from the facilities area to the west, establishing the final Quarry floor elevation <br /> until reaching the northwest final highwall as illustrated in Figure C-6. Phase IV mining will first <br /> establish the final highwall along the western pit crest boundary and then will progress east while <br /> establishing the final southern highwall as shown in Figure C-7. Phase V mining will continue <br /> mining to the east while establishing the southern final highwall and will continue to the east until <br /> reaching the ultimate pit extents, as illustrated in Figure C-8. <br /> The ultimate pit is designed to maximize resource recovery and to avoid the visibility of the Quarry. <br /> Mining pits and storage areas for fines and topsoil are designed in such a way that Little Turkey <br /> Creek is not disturbed. The Little Turkey Creek Road, which is an existing local, unimproved, <br /> private access road adjacent to Little Turkey Creek, will also remain intact and available for use <br /> by residents and emergency vehicles. The Quarry operations will not cross or otherwise disturb <br /> Little Turkey Creek Road. <br /> (b) General Earthmoving Operations <br /> A new access road to the plant and Quarry will be developed across private Ranch property west <br /> of Highway 115 by traditional construction equipment (dozer, loaders, and haul trucks). The <br /> access road will be constructed almost entirely on the Ranch property owned by RMBC. The <br /> intersection with Highway 115 is located on land owned by the State of Colorado. Topsoil <br /> removed during the construction of the access road will be placed in topsoil stockpiles adjacent <br /> to the access road as shown in Figure C-1. Cattle guards and wildlife-friendly fencing will be <br /> installed along the access road between the entrance at Highway 115 and the scale house as <br /> necessary to keep livestock out of active mining areas and roadways. Cattle guards will be of <br /> typical in-ground construction. Fences will be constructed as 4 strand wire fences typically used <br /> to fence in livestock. The wire types and heights will follow CPW fencing recommendations in <br /> their "Fencing With Wildlife In Mind" document. The fence locations are shown on Figure C-4. <br /> The permit boundary and affected lands boundary along the access road and Little Turkey Creek <br /> Road will be marked to ensure that mining and reclamation activities near Little Turkey Creek are <br /> done in such a manner as to not infringe on the 100-foot buffer zones established. <br /> The proposed Quarry equipment production fleet is listed below with the anticipated number of <br /> pieces specified for each type of equipment. This list provides the equipment types and sizes, <br /> but the actual manufacturer is likely to change for some or all the equipment. This fleet represents <br /> the equipment necessary for anticipated maximum production. The actual number of pieces of <br /> equipment onsite will increase as production increases.
