rs r <br /> DUROI)UCTION AND OVERVIEW <br /> Western Aggregates, Inc. (WAI) wishes to construct a 5-acre asphalt pad with an access road <br /> and drainage containment pond, on land leased by them immediately south of, and contiguous <br /> with, their lightweight aggregate plant (permit No. M-88-I08). The property is owned by the <br /> Hogan family and leased by WAI. WAI operates a shale mine and lightweight aggregate <br /> ' production plant on Highway 93 in northern Jefferson County. The pad is required to store a <br /> new product being manufactured by WAI called Realite Plus. Relatively impermeable liner <br /> material will be placed beneath both the pad and the pond, and all surface runoff and runon will <br /> be controlled. <br /> ' Realite Plus is a lightweight aggregate product impregnated with a calcium chloride solution. <br /> It is used as a road sanding material that meets the following criteria: <br /> ' + The calcium chloride melts ice and snow and is a dust suppressant. <br /> ' + The dust suppressing qualities help meet mandated air quality goals by reducing <br /> the reentrainment of road sand. <br /> + The lightweight aggregate is easier and less expensive to sweep up (because it is <br /> lighter than normal road sand) and will not break windshields. <br /> Anticipated demand for this new product requires additional space to store the product for <br /> 1 distribution. The product is produced throughout the spring, summer and fall and is shipped out <br /> during the snow months. <br /> AG RA <br /> 1 Forth&Emrfronmenre/Group <br /> , <br /> r <br />
