area for disposal . The anticipated excavation life of this <br /> project will be approximately 12 months more or less . It is <br /> largely dependent on the availability of the equipment needed to <br /> remove the material and the seasonal weather conditions if not <br /> completed before winter begins . <br /> The site is currently used as rangeland and consists of the <br /> northwest side of a gravel terrace above the Colorado River <br /> Valley to the west and the Smith Creek on the north. The mate- <br /> rial depth ranges from 0 to 50 feet deep. The soil covering the <br /> gravel averages 0 to 14 inches deep over the material to be <br /> removed. <br /> The material generated is waste as far as the operator is <br /> concerned but it will likely be processed into construction <br /> material or used as pit run fill material by the company removing <br /> it . <br /> Existing roads will be used to access the site during and <br /> after mining. The property is served by an eight foot wide <br /> private unimproved dirt driveway. This driveway begins at County <br /> Road 613 approximately 700 feet east of the southeast corner of <br /> the Tract . This road will not be used during the life of the <br /> operation as access road except by the owner. <br /> The access, under an agreement with EH International LLC, <br /> will be via the existing road that accesses the Thompson Resource <br /> from West Meadow Road (County road 621) . A temporary access road <br /> from the existing mine floor to the property entrance will be <br /> built and used initially to begin stripping. As stripping <br /> progresses this temporary road will be removed as the floor of <br /> the grading areas is blended with the floor of the Thompson <br /> Resource. No new road will be built outside the permit area as <br /> the material will be removed directly for the permit area to the <br /> floor and processing area at the Thompson Resource immediately <br /> adjacent to Tract 4 on the west and south sides. It will then be <br /> removed to market via this existing road. The temporary mine <br /> access road is shown on Map Exhibit E-1 . <br /> Initially, an area on the north end of the level area will <br /> be stripped of soil and leveled to create a storage place for the <br /> material hauled to the site under the old backfilling plan. <br /> Until it is placed on the building envelope to cover the <br /> underlaying gravely floor. Any soil stripped will be stored <br /> along the east mine setback or on the north stockpile area for <br /> use in reclaiming the east slope and provide a temporary sight <br /> berm for the neighbor to the east . <br /> Material removal will start on the high point of the mine <br /> near the south line and work west and north. Scrapers will be <br /> used to removed and haul the material to the disposal area on the <br /> Track 4 Grading Project July 22, 2020 <br /> C-2 <br />
