although minor truck activity or repairs may occur after hours. The operator is requesting that <br /> hours of operation be as follows Monday-Friday lam—5 pm. <br /> 7. Montrose County Impacts and Environmental Impacts <br /> The aggregate production is estimated to be 45,000 tons annually.No retail or outside markets <br /> will be supplied with this operation, keeping impacts to Montrose County at a minimum: <br /> a) Truck traffic: DOT legal trucks will access to and from the site primarily on 5875 and <br /> transport material to landowner's property in Shavano Valley. <br /> b)Noise: will meet all MSHA regulations as well as requirements of the Montrose County <br /> Land Use Department for gravel mines. <br /> c) Dust: Although the pit activities will be watered and all operations on the site are regulated by <br /> the Air Quality Control Division of the CDPHE. The relatively low annual production, <br /> aggressive watering of roads and limiting the disturbed area should prevent significant dust <br /> impacts. <br /> d)Visual impact: The mine will be located within a large tract of land. Visual impacts will be <br /> minimal as daily activities are expected to be seasonal and as demand requires. <br /> e) The product from this mine will positively impact the local community by utilizing the <br /> Landowner's natural resources for their own needs. The project is expected to eliminate the need <br /> to haul 5,400 loads of material that would be transported from greater distances. This will <br /> reduce the loading on City, County and State roads. Safety and environmental issues will be <br /> reduced with the shorter haul distances to the end locations. <br /> f) The hydrological system will detain all runoff so that sediment will not leave the site and <br /> cloud any downstream waters. There will be sanitation facilities located in the Mining Area, <br /> therefore no leach fields or other means of sewage disposal within the Mining Area. <br /> g) The Farm Road Source will be reclaimed to General Agriculture as shown on Map C3. The <br /> operator will work closely with the County,NRCS, CDPW and the DRMS to ensure that the <br /> reclamation plan is the most appropriate for achieving the post-mining land use. <br />
