6. Alamosa County Impacts and Environmental Impacts <br /> The impacts to Alamosa County will be limited. No dust is expected from the operation as the <br /> pit and roads are watered as needed. In the event that airborne dust is observable, immediate <br /> action to mitigate dust via roadway wetting and a slowdown of production will be initiated and <br /> sustained until airborne dust is mitigated. Water used is brought on site and applied on an as- <br /> needed basis to control dust on haul roads and within the mine area. <br /> Noise and traffic will remain the same as in the past; this amendment is merely an expansion of <br /> the resource available for mining. The operation was originally permitted in 1987 and no new <br /> impacts to county services will occur. No residential use properties are within 500 feet of the pit. <br /> Because mining on additional lands added via this amendment will not differ from the original <br /> permits operating procedure, it is not anticipated that there will be a change to the impact to <br /> Alamosa County. <br /> King Pit Greg 1 ewic9 i aw Aswciacea Pi.l t' <br /> February 2018 D-7 <br />
