12. Description of Operation and Reclamation: <br /> Operations Summary: <br /> This will be an intermittent mining operation, generally operating less than 180 days per year. <br /> Material will be removed by truck and shovel or loader. Some processing may occur on-site. <br /> The extraction depth will be up to 17 feet and is not expected to expose ground water. All <br /> material will be used for Town of Limon projects, economic development incentive programs <br /> and sale. Water will be imported for fugitive dust control. The operation will have a <br /> Stormwater Management Plan to control erosion and runoff from the site. <br /> Equipment <br /> Equipment Type: <br /> Crusher and screens Truck scale <br /> Asphalt batch plant Loaders, dozers, scrapers and haul trucks <br /> Topsoil will be placed in stockpiles until needed for site reclamation. Processing(crushing and <br /> screening) of the excavated material will occur as needed. The Pre-mine/Mine Plan Map <br /> provides the locations of topsoil stockpiles. Any processing which might occur will be by <br /> portable equipment, brought onto the site,and will be placed in a mined out area of the pit. <br /> Reclamation: <br /> The reclamation will consist of 3H:1V final slopes, replacing up to 10 inches of topsoil and <br /> seeding by either broadcast or drill seeding. The slope of the pit floor will be approximately <br /> 1.5%toward the nearest drainage. <br /> No soil amendments are planned. However, as stated previously, the NRCS typically <br /> recommends 40 lbs. of nitrogen and phosphorous per acre. The need for soil amendments will <br /> be based on soil tests. If needed and available, well cured feedlot/barnyard manure could be <br /> applied at the rate of twenty tons per acre. <br /> (No waste asphalt or cement will be placed in any portion of the excavated area or any other <br /> area of the permit area unless approved by the DRMS through a technical revision. No toxic or <br /> hazardous materials will be used, stored or disposed on-site. No fuels or lubricants will be <br /> stored or disposed on-site.) <br /> 82 <br />
