Mr. Krauth plans to increase the affected area and understands this <br /> will increase the amount of the required reclamation bond. <br /> Natural features separate the current mining area from the proposed area to the west. A bluff <br /> and a surface water drainage run north to south along the west side of the current 15-acre mining area. <br /> Mining will continue in this area and will expand west into approximately 15 acres west of the bluff. The <br /> existing interior haul road that commences at Red Canyon Road will continue to provide access to the <br /> proposed areas. <br /> Mining will continue consistent with Exhibit D Mining Plan submitted in 2017 during the permit <br /> amendment process. The target deposit continues to be sandstone that is mined as dimensional <br /> landscape material. The annual production volume will increase from 70K tons to 150K tons per year. <br /> The target deposit is effectively mined as benches, progressing from south to north, resulting in a high <br /> wall along the north and west sides of the active mine area. Benches will be developed with 10 vertical <br /> ft. and 8 horizontal ft.The proposed area will also daylight to the south and east. <br /> Equipment will include a portable processing plant to crush and size rubble generated during <br /> dimensional stone production. When on site,the sizing plant will be located on a relatively level and <br /> vegetation free area along the toe of the west side of bluff mentioned previously. Approximately 5 <br /> acres will be occupied by stockpiles and the processing plant. The plant will operate less than 90 days <br /> each year but mining will continue year round, consistent with the current mining operation. <br /> Dimensional stone mining and equipment will remain consistent with AM-01. <br /> Reclamation will also remain consistent with AM-01 also. Surface material will continue to be <br /> carefully salvaged from all surfaces and stored for use during reclamation. Consistent with the <br /> reclamation plan, only the staging and processing area will require revegetation since the mining area <br /> will be exposed sandstone bedrock benches. Based on the reclamation cost summary provided by the <br /> Division in March of 2107, Mr. Krauth anticipates the appropriate bond for the additional staging area is <br /> $26,868.68. This is an increase of$18,378.68. Please refer to Table 1: Reclamation Cost Summary for <br /> task list and costs. <br /> ErViirronmentall /,\Illter-gatii\V/eSs Ilrc„ <br /> 1107 Main Street, Canon City, CO 81212 <br /> e-mail: eai@bresnan.net <br /> Phone: 719-275-8951 <br />
