The impacts to Conejos County will be limited. No dust is expected from the operation as the pit <br /> and roads are watered as needed. In the event that airborne dust is observable, immediate action <br /> 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. Conejos County stipulates that mining activity will not <br /> occur within 100 feet of the property boundary and no residential use properties are within 200 <br /> feet of the pit. Because mining on additional lands added via this amendment will not differ from <br /> the original permits operating procedure, it is not anticipated that there will be a change to the <br /> impact to Conejos County. <br /> Garrett Pit Grog Lewk*i na ASWIM e,f%A C <br /> September 2018 D-7 <br />
