INTRODUCTION <br /> The proposed Horsefly Rock Source is located 8 miles south west of the town of Colona in <br /> Ouray County Colorado and accessed from Government Springs Road and Hwy 550. The site, in <br /> relation to the town of Colona, is shown on Map B-1. The mining area will be adjacent to a small <br /> drainage where the desired shelf sandstone rock is located. The site is bordered by private <br /> property land owners on all sides. The proposed mine is a part of a 491-acre tract of land. Parcel <br /> lines obtained from Ouray County are shown on Map B-2. A List of the names and mailing <br /> addresses of the landowners are listed in Exhibit R. <br /> The topography within the permit area slopes gently down toward the north east. The disturbed <br /> area for the Horsefly Rock Source is 9.41 acres for the mining area and for topsoil storage and <br /> .55 acres for haul road areas. The permit boundary is shown on Map C-1 and the entire permit <br /> area is 9.96 acres. The sandstone ledge has been historically used for grazing and wildlife <br /> habitat. The property is currently accessed through the proposed mine site by an existing road. <br /> The proposed mine site will use the existing road for its operations and access off of the <br /> property. <br /> The site will be reclaimed to a land use of rangeland for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. <br /> The topography of the reclaimed land is shown on Map C3 <br />
